Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the significant factors influencing the learning habits of secondary-level students. Research methodology: This study examined the learning habits of 120 students from 12 high schools in three categories throughout three surrounding cities in the Dhaka Division. This study used a descriptive survey research design. A Purposive sampling approach was applied to select three districts from the Dhaka division, and 12 secondary schools were selected from the three districts. These 120 respondents were chosen using a simple random sampling method belonging to classes 6–10 and ages 12–16. Results: The average age was 14.0 2.3 years. The majority of the students (39.2%, n = 47) came from families with limited income, and most of their mothers were not working (77.5%, n = 93). Furthermore, most students (39.2%, n = 47) were from poor-class families. Among the three factors influencing learning habits, two (gender and residence status) were statistically significant, but working mothers were statistically insignificant. Limitations: The results of this study may not accurately reflect the entire situation because data from only 120 students from three districts in the Dhaka division were collected. Contribution: There is no statistical relationship between study habits and students’ mothers’ job status. However, gender and residence had an important influence on students’ learning habits. Novelty: The researcher suggests that educators and school authorities work together to convince students how to build efficient study routines and boost their academic and future achievements.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the correlation between learning styles and students' academic achievement in the field of cost accounting among federal universities located in the south-south region of Nigeria. Research methodology: This study analyzed 556 final-year business education students from four federal universities in south-south Nigeria (source). The sample consisted of 248 students, selected using cluster sampling (source). The primary data were obtained using a questionnaire (source). The statistical method used was the Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) to evaluate the hypotheses and address. Results: The findings revealed a significant positive association between the two variables. Additionally, the analysis underscores the significant positive relationship between the competitive learning approach and students' academic performance in cost accounting in federal universities in the south-south region of Nigeria. Limitations: The sample size was small, which may have affected the reliability of the findings. Contribution: The study would also be of benefit to professional bodies such as ICAN, ANAN, NIT, and others in that they would be aware that students have different styles of learning their course contents. Novelty: The study advised educators to strategically design learning activities that would promote both collaboration and competition, while also establishing high-performance expectations for students. Practical implications: Instructors are also expected to help students develop these three different styles of learning, since cost accounting, a course studied at the university, involves many calculations and concepts.

Abstract

Purpose: This article presents village-based mental health policies in response to sustainable development goals. Research methodology: A qualitative research approach was used in conjunction with library research. Results: According to the findings of this study, the focus of development goals, namely living a healthy and affluent life, has not been on mental health. Furthermore, there are findings on advocacy, research and innovation, partnership, and integration of mental health and other SDGs. Contribution: Based on the findings of this study, several recommendations were made, including developing wise mental health policies in rural areas, increasing mental health commitments and budgets, mobilizing communities to respond to rural mental health policies, and improving treatment facilities and mental health response services. Novelty: Although the goals of sustainable development place a special emphasis on healthy and prosperous lives, insufficient data on mental health have been collected, and mental health policies based on village wisdom have not become a theme that many central and regional governments have implemented.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the factors that influence the performance of students in Mai Idris Alooma Polytechnic Geidam Yobe State in the Northeastern Nigeria. Research methodology: The paradigm of this study is to use the final-year students of Mai Idris Alooma Polytechnic Geidam as independent variables. The dependent variables included factors influencing students’ academic performance. Factors included a) personal conditions, b) study habits, c) home-related aspects, d) school-related aspects, and e) lecturer-related factors. Results: The study identified different factors and the highest impact among the variables that influence the academic performance of students in institutions other than those traditionally studied. Among these five (5) domains, lecturer-related aspects and personal condition factors fall behind school-related factors. Nonetheless, both categories were still deemed highly impactful. Conversely, home-related factors and study habits had little effect on students’ academic performance in the case study. Limitations: The research analysis was limited to a self-report questionnaire gathered from final-year students Mai Idriss Alooma Polytechnic Geidam in October 2023. Contribution: With the outcome of this research, all students, particularly year one prospective students, and those students who are not as academically strong will be informed about the factors that influence their academic performance.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the effects of community radio programs on political education in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State, Nigeria. Research methodology: This study adopted a survey research strategy, using a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative data. This was a cross-sectional study in which data were collected at one point in time to examine the effects of community radio programs on political education in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study population consisted of students, staff, visitors, and residents of the university and its environment. However, Cochran’s (1977) sampling technique was used to determine a sample size of 384 for questionnaire administration. Data were analyzed through descriptive methods using frequency distributions and percentages, as well as inferential statistics through multiple regression analysis. Result: The results show that the regression coefficient for political news is -0.070 and is statistically significant, political advertising is 0.299 and is statistically significant, and political discussion is 0.199 and is statistically significant. From the analysis, only political news does not have a positive relationship but is significant for political education in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State, Nigeria. Contribution: This study has been able to establish the level of relationship between community radio programs and political education in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State, and Nigeria. Limitation: The study only covers the Ibadan metropolis due to a lack of funds. Extension to a state, region, or all of Nigeria would have provided a more robust argument.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the level of awareness and extent of adaptation strategies of upland and lowland local rice farmers in the municipality of Surallah, in the province of South Cotabato, in response to the impacts of climate change. Methodology/approach: This study utilized a descriptive-correlational research design to evaluate the awareness levels, extent of adaptation strategies, and interrelationships among these variables within upland and lowland local rice farming communities in Surallah, South Cotabato province. Results/Findings: The research findings highlight the significant differences in awareness levels and adaptation strategies between upland and lowland rice farmers. Upland farmers exhibited lower awareness and sporadic adaptation measures, while their lowland counterparts demonstrated a moderately aware status with a corresponding, albeit moderate, application of adaptive strategies. The study also revealed a meaningful positive relationship between awareness levels and adaptation strategies across both groups. Limitations: The study focused only on the municipality of Surallah in the Province of South Cotabato, concentrating on upland and lowland farmers. Contribution: The findings of this study reveal how farmers in different geographical settings respond to the challenges presented by climate change and reveal potential connections between awareness and adaptation strategies, which will become the basis for policy recommendations. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its specific focus on upland and lowland rice farmers in Surallah, South Cotabato, providing a comprehensive examination of awareness and adaptation strategies towards climate change.

Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate teachers’ pedagogical practices in secondary schools in southwestern Nigeria because evidence has shown that some of the objectives of the geography curriculum are hardly met. Research interest has been more on interventions, especially strategies to improve students’ learning outcomes in geography, than on the evaluation of implementation. Research methodology: A mixed-methods design was adopted. Three states (Osun, Oyo, and Ekiti) in southwestern Nigeria were randomly selected, and the purposive sampling technique was used to select schools with a geography teacher who was willing to participate in the study. Results: Most teachers (67.1%) deployed the lecture method, while schools (84.6%) had insufficient time to implement GC. Inadequate materials (84.1%), limited opportunities for professional development (89.4%), and insufficient allocated time (78.7%) were the major challenges associated with the implementation of GC. The pedagogical practices were good (????? = 3.40), but material resources were inadequate (????? 0.83), 3.4 against the threshold of 3.0 and 1.0, respectively. Contribution: Teachers rarely used the field-trip approach. The teachers posited that they had inadequate resources for implementation. School administrators should ensure that geography is allotted sufficient time to the timetable. Limitations: The observer effect may have slightly influenced the classroom activities of some teachers and students. Similarly, not all items on the rating scale could be captured extensively within the observed teaching-learning period. Novelty: Although the goals of sustainable development place a special emphasis on healthy and prosperous lives, insufficient data on mental health have been collected, and mental health policies based on village wisdom have not become a theme that many central and regional governments have implemented.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated the influence of social media on students in second-cycle institutions in Tamale. It concentrates on its relationship with academic performance, learning ability, writing skills, and gender disparities in usage patterns. Methodology/approach: A purposive sample method was employed to select 150 students from secondary schools in Tamale. Data were collected through surveys and interviews using both qualitative and quantitative approaches to explore how social media affects students’ academic experiences. Results/Findings: Findings from this study indicate that the use of social media has a significant impact on students’ learning abilities, writing skills, and academic performance. A significant number of learners reported becoming distracted with reduced concentration because they spent excessive time on the sites, leading to possible health challenges and a sedentary lifestyle. The results also indicated that gender differences exist in social media usage patterns, among others, which affect school performance. Limitations: One limitation of this research is that it had a small sample size and may not represent all students found within second-cycle institutions. This further implies that this research is constrained to a particular geographical area, limiting its generalizability. Contribution: This study contributes to the understanding of how social media influences students in second-cycle institutions, highlighting the need for educators and policymakers to establish guidelines for responsible social media use to enhance academic success and mitigate its negative impacts.

Abstract

Purpose: Increasing trends in urbanization have reportedly resulted in an increase in waste generation. Therefore, this study seeks to estimate the amount of domestic waste generated, the factors that influence waste generation among these households, and the willingness of households to pay for abatement in urban and peri-urban areas in Tamale Metropolis. Research methodology: This study adopted quantitative research approaches with descriptive and inferential methods to assess the determinants of waste generation and the factors influencing households’ willingness to pay in the Tamale Metropolis. A total of 156 households in (12) communities were sampled for this study. Results: The results revealed that, while the average waste generated in a household was 9.9 kilograms, factors such as age, educational level, household size, WMS, and income influenced the generation of waste by households and their willingness to pay for the management of waste in the metropolis. In terms of abatement of waste, about 41.3 % of the respondents were willing to pay abatement costs for waste disposal with 3.12 USD (GHC 18.10), which is the average amount these people were willing to pay for these services. Limitations: The study covered only urban and peri-urban suburbs within the metropolis; hence, extending the study to other settlements could have unearthed diverse findings. Contribution: This study advances knowledge on the quantity and types of solid waste generated in the metropolis and the factors that influence households to pay for waste management services.  This study will also inform policymakers in understanding the dynamics of waste management in metropolises to implement policies to address associated problems.
