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.

Abstract

Global warming or climate change is the most critical and strategic issue of 21st Century. For the last 25 years i.e. from1985, global warming summits have been taking place. But the real breakthrough has not been come up and the same hasbecome a distant dream. Copenhagen or COP 15 Accord made some head way and as a result, global leaders took note of it.But the same was not considered as a decision and hence, there was no legal binding on the members in respect of cut in globalcarbon dioxide emissions (chart). Keeping in mind the out come of Copenhagen Summit, it was believed that Cancun summitwould give some concrete solution to the problem of global warming or climate change. The Cancun summit out come is mixtureof optimism, consensus and compromises. Therefore, the present paper examines Cancun agreement at a glance and thereasons for optimism, consensus and compromises. The paper also opines whether Cancun Accord would be proved to be areality or otherwise.

Abstract

He objective of this paper is to emphasize the need and importance of outdoor learning in our secondary schools whichwill act as a panacea to improving academic excellence and discipline in schools. It is believed that refocusing the out doorlearning will go a long way to strengthen the social, skills and mental development of the students. The methodology hereinvolves the review of the past and present perception of school head on outdoor programmes. It also finds out that theawareness is not there among the stakeholders in education. It was also discovered through personal interaction with staff andstudents that most schools do not take part in outdoor programme. Most of the schools interacted with show no knowledge ofwhat outdoor programmes are. The uniqueness of this paper is providing clues on how school head can introduce and carry outthe outdoor programmes. They should see it not as extra curricula activity but as an inevitable part of completing the schoolcurriculum. This paper is calling for a refocus on the outdoor learning and how this can be achieved internally without waiting forfund from the government but as a means of attracting the government.

Abstract

The attainment of effective education by the educatee is hinged on the balancing of the workload and the teaching staffstrength (TSS) in schools. The interplay was the rallying point of this study which tried to ascertain the level of workload andteaching staff strength (TSS) in public senior secondary schools. Six (6) research questions were posed as guide with thequestionnaire as a base instrument for data collection from the principals of the 18 public senior secondary schools in Onelga.Analysis of data on teacher-students ratio reveal that 11 schools representing 61% have a ratio above 1:40 and 7 schoolsrepresenting 39% have a ratio below 1:40 as enshrined in the FRN (2004). The class size indicates that 7 schools havemoderate class sizes whereas 11 schools have excess class sizes. Consequently the workload data analysis reveals that all theschools exceeded the 15 weekly periods per teaching staff with 17% having 18-23 while 83% having 24-30 per teacher perweek. Female teachers occupied 21% and male teachers occupied 79% of the total population of 152. The implication is thatexcess workload will affect the output been churned into the tertiary institutions. Recommendation were made among others toimprove the condition of service and track down the rate of attrition

Abstract

This study looks at the impact of student-generated, concept mapping on the performance of EFL, grade 12, studentsin reading comprehension texts. In doing so, 14 EFL, grade 12, students were selected from a high school in Israel. Studentswere tested on three separate occasions. First, students were given a tutorial on how to create a visual aid, more specificallyconcept maps, during reading. Then students partook in three lessons; whereby, they employed concept mapping strategies.After each lesson, students completed reading comprehension tests based on the text that they had read. In addition followingeach tests, students were interviewed in order to assess their disposition towards self-generated, concept mapping. The resultsindicate that self-generated concept mapping by low-knowledge students had a significantly greater influence on students’ textcomprehension than did the self-generated concept mapping by high-knowledge students or both control groups. In addition,students' disposition toward self-generated concept mapping had a progressive positive change, regardless of students’ level.Concept mapping, EFL, self-generated

Abstract

The study sought to investigate inter- relationships amongst statistical reasoning, attitude towards statistics, learningapproach and achievement in educational statistics. Ex-post facto research design was adopted for the study. The sampleconsisted of 358 (114 males and 244 females) fourth year pre-service teachers from University of Calabar and Port Harcourt inthe South-South Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria. The data for the study was collected using two instruments named: StatisticalReasoning Learning Approach Questionnaire (SRALAQ), and the Educational Statistics Test (EST). Analyses of data werecarried out using multiple regression and path analysis. The results showed that: there is a significant composite effect of preserviceteachers’ statistical reasoning, attitude towards statistics and learning approach on achievement in educational statistics;and there are significant paths through which the independent variables determine achievement in educational statistics. Thestrongest of these paths is between statistical reasoning and learning approach and attitude towards statistics and learningapproach. Learning approach was found to be a significant direct predictor (β = .225, t = 2.581, p&lt; 0.010) of pre-serviceteachers’ achievement in educational statistics at 0.05 level of significance. A meaningful causal model which could be used toexplain the causal relationship amongst the variables in the study also emanated. The causal model showed that pre-serviceteachers’ achievement in educational statistics could be explained directly and indirectly. The direct effect was 81.45% while theindirect effect was 18.55%. The magnitudes of the effects of the predictive variables in the study in order of their importance are0.429 for learning approach, 0.151 for statistical reasoning and -0.036 for attitude towards statistics. The implications of theresearch findings are addressed.

Abstract

This study examined the demand, supply and utilization of secondary school teachers in Kabba/Bunu LocalGovernment Area, Kogi State. Ten secondary schools were selected from the Local Government (comprising of three schools inurban areas and seven schools in rural areas), using stratified random sampling techniques. Nine teachers were randomlyselected from teachers in senior classes in urban schools and six teachers in rural schools. Relevant data were collectedthrough the use of highly structural and validated questionnaires, titled “Demand, Supply and Utilization of Secondary SchoolTeachers (DSUSST)” and “Utilization of secondary school teachers (USST)”. The research instrument was administered toselected secondary school principals and subject teachers respectively. The data were analyzed using simple percentage,mean, ratio, Pearson product moment correlation statistics and multiple regression analysis at 0.05 levels of significance. Theresult of the study revealed that there are inadequate basic science and English Language teachers in both rural and urbanschools; there are no incentives for teachers in rural schools and 81 percent of the teachers are qualified. Based on the findings,it is recommended that supply of teachers should be carefully planned and properly executed while meaningful incentives likeleave bonus, free medical treatment for teachers and their families, 15% basic salary as incentives for teachers in difficultterrains should be given to the teachers especially teachers in rural areas.

Abstract

The formation of educational policies is complex by nature. The complexity owes not only to the fact that education is asector where it is difficult to identify the underpinnings and their effects to be foreseen, but also to the diversity of interests thateducation represents for the different actors in society. In the dynamics of educational management, within the large context of aglobal quest for Education for All (EFA), the Nigerian UBE and the Swedish Grundskola programmes have a fundamentalprinciple in common. Compared to other socio-economic sectors, educational development involves more difficult andmultidimensional problems. Faced with financial constraints, governments in many countries are not able to meet the broadsocial demands without adopting restrictive measures within the education sector, while rationalising the use of allocatedresources. Because there are too many actors, variables and the interrelations between these, the result of Education for All(EFA) with the Grundskola was successful perhaps, based on some of the issues discussed while that of the Nigerian UniversalBasic Education (UBE) programme proved abortive.
