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.

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.

Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between examination anxiety and students’ attitude towards examinationmalpractices in tertiary institutions in Delta State. The population of the study consisted of 12,000 first year regular students ineight tertiary invitations in Delta State. The proportional stratified sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 1,200subjects who responded to the Examination Anxiety and Attitude Questionnaire. Data collected was analyzed with correlationand multiple regression statistics and it was found that there is a positive relationship between examination anxiety and attitudetowards cheating in examinations. Students who possessed high examination anxiety were more predisposed towards cheatingin examinations. Therefore it was recommended that measures of examination anxiety could be used by Counsellors to identifystudents who were likely to engage in examination malpractices so that proactive therapies could be administered on them priorto their sitting for the actual examinations.

Abstract

Two hundred (310) undergraduate and postgraduate students participated in this study. The participants wererequested to write down the best and worst teachers in their life right from primary to high school which is 14 years of schooling.They had to identify qualities that made that teacher good/and role model and likely to influence their development as geographyteachers. Results show that students value and love teachers that are intelligent and have good knowledge of the subject matter,approachable, morally upright, approachable/accessible, honest and guides the students, smartly dressed and presentable.They particularly liked geography teachers that used the environment round the school as a laboratory making the subject realand relevant, used fieldwork as a method of teaching, use of maps, pictures, graphs regularly in class. They particularly hatedteachers who sexually abused students, discriminated against dull students, had no teaching aids, didn’t mark books,consequently no feedback, no fieldwork in Geography. Through discussions and peer teaching teacher trainees demonstratedtheir creativity through the teaching methods and materials they used. They promised to continue developing alternativeteaching methods and materials for their own professional career development

Abstract

The proliferation of private institutions (Nursery, primary, secondary schools and tertiary institutions) throughout thecountry coupled with frequent closure of schools prompted this research. The findings in this study show that the privatization ofeducation that took place between 1980 and 1990 through the granting of private licenses to individuals was doneindiscriminately without proper supervision and monitoring. Further investigations show that the beneficiaries of the privatizationexercise are either serving or retired senior public office holders. Thus, making it difficult to ensure compliance (standards). Thestudy also reveal that while monitoring, regulation and control of tertiary institutions in the country is effective through theNational Universities Commission (NUC), regulation and control is completely absent at the nursery, primary, and secondaryschool levels. However, the systems political theory was applied while explaining and analyzing the subject-matter. In terms ofmethodology and scope, descriptive analysis and secondary sources of data (textbooks, published articles and journals) wererelied upon. Nevertheless, cases of unrest and other forms of crisis facing the education sector in Nigeria can be minimized andcurtailed if the government (local, state and federal) through its regulatory agencies (ministries, departments, boards andcommissions) conducts regular and periodic evaluation and supervision of existing private schools and institutions throughoutthe country. This will no doubt ensure compliance, prosecution and revocation of existing licenses of schools and institutions thatfail to meet approved standards.
