The use of waste as an additional material on the building work was increasingly actively developed, such as straw, styrofoam, bagasse, cow manure. The key drivers of the use of waste is the potential for waste is increasing, due to the depletion of non-renewable resources. Papyrus rod diameter 60 cm, length 30 meters, has a volume of 5,652m3 as well as the edges of the Rods that can be used for construction with a thickness of 3 cm has a volume 0,942m3, Pith and fiber volume content of the stem 4,71m3/rod, then in one rod, there are 2 to 3 bunches each fruit bunches yield as much as 20 to 30 items for one harvest, by weight of fruit fiber 101.2 gram / fruit, Fiber characteristics are round and smooth is expected to reduce cracks in solid concrete brick and also can reduce the use of sand. This study aims to determine the compressive strength of the composition of the additional material of Rods fiber content and Fiber of palmyra fruit with a percentage 3%, 6% and 9%, mixing ratio; 1 cement and 5 sand in the manufacture of solid concrete brick. Rods fiber content used the average Ø1,031mm with a tensile strength of single fiber 39,305N / cm and fruit fiber to an average value Ø0,40mm with a tensile strength of single fiber 33,691N / cm. Making test specimen with a length of 20cm, width 10cm and thick 8cm. The test results of compressive strength after 14 days with the lowest value at 3% of additional material combination of fiber content of 6% fiber stem and fruit by 70,384Kg/cm²with a water content of 15,254% In weight position 2,935Kg as well as the highest value on the combination of additional material 0% rods fiber content and 3% fruit fiber by 98,821Kg/cm² with a water content of 15,031% In weight position 3,058Kg. While N (without additional material) with a compressive strength below the average id 63,704Kg/cm2 with water content of 10,167 in weight position 3,072Kg. Research result of solid concrete brick with additional material of rods fiber content and palmyra fruit fiber was included on the type B70, the average value of the compressive strength of 78.57 Kg / cm² (SNI-03-1348-1989) with a water content of <25%.

Abstract

This paper explores the trajectories between teacher capacity building and effective teaching and learning withparticular reference to the Nigerian context where the education system is facing unprecedented challenges. Paradoxically, thesolutions appear to be elusive. This paper argues that as micro-level practitioners, teachers constitute the nexus of anysustainable transformation of the system. To achieve this goal as well as to stem the tide of teacher underperformance, a centralargument in the paper is that building teacher capacity is not only critical to successful teaching and learning, it should also bethe starting point for reconstituting the education system. Towards this end, the paper identifies three context-responsive areasof strategic intervention vis à vis teacher capacity building.

Abstract

The essence of language teaching in Nigerian schools is to improve the communicative competence of students inEnglish Language. The frequent poor performance of students in English Language means that language teachers need toreconsider the appropriateness of the teaching methods. In view of the fact that there are students with learning disabilities inmainstream schools, this paper highlights some motivational strategies that can enhance the communicative competence ofstudents with learning disabilities. The paper explains in details these motivational strategies and the benefits. Finally, the paperconcludes by calling on language teachers to adopt an eclectic method in language teaching through the use of the pedagogicalstrategies examined. It is hoped that these motivational strategies would be adopted for corrective and remedial instruction inlanguage teaching.

Abstract

At the heart of every institution (mostly learning institution) is repertoire of essential skills which every serious individualstrives to know. No one is perfect but becomes more proficient as he continues to work and practice. In fact effective individualare never satisfied, they are curiously in search of attitudes to sharpen their results. Time management is essential for achievingpositive results in( learning) institutions, however it has not been adequately enhanced by individual. This paper examines howtime can be managed, its benefits and need for private time table (PTT).

Abstract

Educators rely on verbal communication as a central tool for providing students with valuable information for academicdevelopment. Our daily nonverbal behaviors reveal who we are and impact how we relate to other people. Nonverbalcommunication has implication for the teacher as well as the learner. It is often said that one can always recognize a languageteacher by their use of gesture in normal conversation. Feldman (1990) asserts that research regarding the use of non-verbalcues in education demonstrates that educators often send messages regarding their expectations via non-verbal cues such asfacial expressions and overall body language. These nonverbal cues, according to Feldman, can have a notable impact onoutcomes for student response and behavior. With the realization that non-verbal communication can play such an importantrole in the process of education, there is a direct impetus to further examine this issue. Using this as a foundation forinvestigation, the current research considers the issue of non-verbal communication between students and teachers in thecontext of mitigating and managing conflict. By understanding these cues, educators can work to improve outcomes whenconflict arises with a student in the classroom.

Abstract

The study considered time allocated against syllabus completion before external examinations. The focal points weremathematics as a subject and an analysis of the 2009/2010 Academic Session. The analysis revealed that out of 364days in asession, only 146 days, represented 40% of the entire session did schools engaged in various school activities. The remaining218 days, representing 60% of the session was observed as different holidays, making time frame to be inadequate andinsufficient for mathematics syllabus completion. Three theories: Total Quality Management (TQM), Quality Assurance (QA)and Theory Z were posited as frameworks. Recommendations such as more periods should be allocated for completion ofmathematics syllabus before exposing students to external examinations and others were postulated.

Abstract

This paper sets out to explore the effectiveness of forest conservation laws in Nigeria.The forest has servedas a source of livelihood to people in Nigeria for many generations (Ezenwaka &amp; Abere 2009). It is a sourceof income, employment, food, medicine, recreation and vital raw materials for many purposes includingconstruction. However, many factors are threatening the sustainability of this source of people’s survival(Ezenwaka 2008). Scientific approaches of conservation and or preservation has been proposed (e.g.government setting aside reservation areas through laws) but these are not yielding the anticipated results (ofconserving the bio-diversity) as illegal and unsustainable hunting and harvesting of the forest resources arestill observed (LENF 1998).

Abstract

This paper criticized an educational system which was faulty from the onset and stressed that vocational technicaleducation and training is that form of Education that leads to acquisition of practical skills, which will enable an individual to begainfully employed in a chosen occupation to become self-reliant, in order to contribute to overall national development.However, a detailed analysis of the concept of vocational technical education and national development were greatly examined.Challenges facing vocational technical education and training for self-reliance and national development were pointed out.Some of which are: the lack of skilled man- power, inadequate training facilities and equipment, lack of follow-up and continuityin government policies, poor remuneration of vocational and technical teachers, lack of entrepreneurship education in vocationaltechnical education and training and poor emphasis on the practical aspect of vocational technical education and training.Finally, one of the major recommendations is that, both the government and the non government organizations (NGOs) shouldpay serious attention to entrepreneurship development in technical vocational education and training by putting its priorities rightand releasing funds adequately for proper development of individuals to become self-reliant and contribute to nationaldevelopment.

Abstract

This study sought the perceived impact of primary education on the attainment of Nigeria Vision 20:2020. Surveydesign was adopted for the study. Six hundred primary school teachers were randomly sampled from Oyo Local GovernmentAreas of Oyo State. A self-designed 20 items questionnaire validated and trial-tested with reliability of 0.83 was used to collectthe data. Three hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using t-test statistical tool. The findings revealed that theprimary education standard have impact on the nation attainment of NV 20:2020 (cal-t = 10.73; Crit-t= 1.96, df = 598) and thatthe standard of primary education is hampered by the low level of funding and facilities availability at school (Cal-t = 11.06, Crit-t= 1.96, df = 598). Also it was found that the level of teachers qualification at the primary school significantly influence thestandard of primary education in the country (Cal-t = 4.66, Crit-t = 1.96, df = 598). It was therefore recommended that alongproper funding and facilities provision for primary level of education, liberalization should be encouraged for better qualifiedteachers to handle foundational classes in order for the nation to achieve her Vision 20:2020.
