Abstract

The paper identified the factors that hinder the implementation of Computer-Managed Instruction (CMI) in teaching and learning Basic Technology in Anambra State, Nigeria. Consequently, this study utilized a cross-sectional survey design that sampled data from the teachers and students of schools in the state. The study involved 1,092 school students and teachers from 28 public schools in Onitsha Education Zone, providing a diverse sample. Sampling occurred in three stages, resulting in a sample size of 20 teachers and 840 students. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire validated by experts, ensuring reliability. Analysis was conducted using SPSS, ensuring robust interpretation. The study highlighted several constraints such as poor electricity supply, lack of encouragement from the school authorities, technical restraints and limited access to computers. Nevertheless, teachers and students demonstrated a high level of awareness of CMI. Furthermore, no significant differences were observed in the perceptions of barriers between teachers and students. The study underscores the importance of addressing these barriers through collaborative efforts involving stakeholders to facilitate the effective integration of CMI in Basic Technology education. Overcoming these challenges can enhance teaching and learning outcomes, fostering a digitally inclusive educational environment in Anambra State.

Abstract

This study analysed the influence of social media on news consumption and credibility, with reference to Lagos State. The study sought to assess the net benefits of social media as a source of information in Nigeria by determining the credibility of news obtained on various social media platforms in the country, and analyzing the challenges caused by social media through misinformation and fake news. Source Credibility Theory was employed in the study. A well-structured questionnaire served as instrument for data collection. The study made use of simple percentages and frequency statistics to analyse the data collected. Results from the analysis show that there is misinformation on social media platforms. Results show that Facebook is the greatest source of misinformation, followed by WhatsApp, and TikTok. Results show that social media misinformation is strongest by age, followed by education, income, and occupation. This implies that younger generations are most susceptible to social media misinformation, while those with lower education are also susceptible to misinformation from social media platforms. Therefore, not every user of social media can militate against social media misinformation. Based on these findings, this study recommends some measures of social media regulation. Verified accounts should be granted permission across social media platforms as source of information and news to users of social media. Also, the study recommends that social media users must ensure that they verify information and news received on social media before making use of such information.

Data was gathered through the use of a questionnaire, which was then analyzed and summarized using frequency and percentage. The findings of this research show that most of the adolescents have insufficient knowledge about sex education therefore adolescents require scientific, religious and factual information to help them develop positive sexual attitudes and responsible healthy behaviors Moreover, most of the respondents agreed to the fact that sex education is effective, but most of them do not have sufficient knowledge so they require knowledge to prevent them from inventing their own mythologies and developing anti-social behaviors. Thus, the study recommends the encouragement of more sex education contents or programme in the Nigerian media through creditable sources such as national televisions and radios.

Abstract

This study looks at how people incorporate astrological practices into their daily lives and investigates the impact of astrology on personal beliefs and decisions. The poll was given to different respondents, indicating degrees of astrological engagement. Books are utilized less frequently than astrology applications, social media, and internet horoscopes by mainstream respondents seeking astrological information. The results show that astrology influences professional selections since it gives many respondents comfort, direction, and influence over relationships. Nonetheless, a significant proportion of the sample indicates that astrology does not influence at all, showing differences in astrology are seen and applied. The study also examines demographic factors like age and educational attainment to understand the broader context of astrological engagement. The conversation offers a thorough examination of astrology's place in modern life by utilizing viewpoints from historical books, online resources, and astrological literature. The findings imply that although astrology offers many people a relevant framework, its impact varies greatly, depending on personal views and the sources of astrological knowledge consulted. This study advances awareness of astrology's continuing influence on social and human dynamics and its persistence in modern spiritual practices.
