Abstract

This study examined how prevailing economic conditions relate to productivity, job satisfaction, and job performance of lecturers in public tertiary institutions in Imo State, Nigeria. A correlational survey research design was adopted. Three research questions and three hypotheses guided the study. The population comprised 160 Economics educators from six public tertiary institutions. Four instruments were used to collect data for this study: the Prevailing Economic Condition Questionnaire, Lecturers' Productivity Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Job Performance Questionnaire. Pearson correlation coefficient analyzed relationships, while p-values tested significance. Results revealed that economic conditions had a strongly significant negative relationship with lecturers' productivity (r = -0.75, p < 0.05). Economic conditions showed an insignificant negative weak relationship with job satisfaction (r = -0.10, p > 0.05) and a significant negative moderate relationship with job performance (r = -0.62, p < 0.05). Findings indicate that poor economic conditions significantly impair teaching effectiveness, research output, and instructional delivery. The study links productivity and performance to teaching quality outcomes, addressing implications for curriculum delivery and student learning.

Abstract

This paper investigated the influence of parental educational level and parental involvement in the child’s education on students’ academic achievement in the Nsukka Local Government Area (LGA) of Enugu State in South-East Nigeria. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated for the study. The study adopted a descriptive design. The sample size comprised 384 grade 9 (JSS3) students in junior secondary schools in Southeast Nigeria. The instruments for data collection were a questionnaire on parental involvement in students’ education and a test instrument covering English Language, Mathematics, and Civic Education components. The data collected for the study were analysed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test. Findings revealed that parental education level significantly influenced students’ academic achievement; students whose parents have lower levels of education performed better than their counterparts in the achievement test. On the other hand, students whose parents were more involved in their education scored higher than those whose parents were less involved, although the mean difference was not statistically significant. The study concluded with a recommendation that schools should encourage parents to be actively involved in their children’s education, such as volunteering in the classroom or attending parent-teacher conferences, as well as home tutoring.

Abstract

This study investigated the influence of environmental shocks and child labour on upper basic education students’ learning outcomes in South-East Nigeria. The design for the study is an ex post facto design. The study sampled 571 upper basic education students. An environmental screening survey and a child time use survey were used to obtain data for this study. Students’ academic records and demographic information were obtained from the school authorities. Frequencies and mean statistics were used to analyze data collected, while ANCOVA was used to test the null hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. It was discovered that environmental shock and child labour significantly influence students' learning outcomes. The study's results highlight the need for policymakers and stakeholders to address the issues of environmental shock and child labour to improve the learning outcomes of students in South-East Nigeria.
