Culture is communicated through literary and linguistic tools such as proverbs, song, symbolism and propaganda. Coupled with a myriad of cultural activities among the community the paper forms a base for an analysis of selected festivities that have gained prominence amid the ravages of the pandemic. The study adopts convenience sampling technique to identify subjects. Data was collected through participant observation and focus group discussion of the cultural activities within Bungoma County. The participants were drawn from notorious villages that have continuously promoted the cultural festivities through crowds despite the escalating numbers of Covid 19 victims. The data will be analyzed descriptively.

Abstract

Fairy tales are often used by authors to impart their moral values and principles. This is commonly done through the portrayal of their main characters, including their personalities, actions, and the consequences of their actions. In some cases, authors use death as a moral lesson due to its connotation as a form of punishment for a character’s misdeed. However, Oscar Wilde’s fairy tales contradict the conventional aspect of death in classic fairy tales. His main characters experienced death or physical disfigurement in the end despite their actions which readers would perceive as good or morally permissible. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the theme of morality in Wilde’s selected fairy tales through a Deontology Ethical approach. This study addressed the relationship between the personalities and actions of Wilde’s selected characters, as well as the consequences of their actions. Furthermore, using Kantian Ethics, the study evaluated the moral permissibility of the characters’ maxims underlying their actions. The findings showed that the personalities of Wilde’s characters could be categorised into those who adhere to or oppose Kant’s definition of personality based on their actions. The study also highlighted the varying deaths that Wilde’s characters faced in the end. Additionally, the analysis suggests that the reasons behind the actions of Wilde’s characters could be categorised into “for duty” and “for other means”. At the end of this study, readers would be introduced to a different moral theory in understanding a character without justifying it based on the simple “right versus wrong” principle.

Abstract

This research attempted to explore the effects of divergent and convergent tasks on the successful reading of EFL students at the preparatory stage. To verify the analysis, the null hypothesis was established that states "There are no differences of statistical significance at the level of (0,05) among the mean of scores of the experimental group who study according to divergent and convergent task technique and the mean of the scores of the control group who study according to the regular method". The experimental approach is used by designing two equivalent experimental groups of 32 students studying the technique proposed, and an 8-week (2019-2020) control group of 32 students, three classes each week using the Google Classroom Platform and Telegram. The present study utilized the platform Google Classroom (GC) and Telegram as an educational platform to assist students during their course learning process. The writing skills test was administered after checking with the experts. The results show that there are statistical differences at level (0,05) between the average of the experimental and control groups' reading skills and those of the experimental group. This difference is because the experimental group uses divergent and convergent tasks.

Abstract

This chapter appraised the 10-3-4 system of education in Nigeria in line with the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of UNO and vision 2030. Particular emphasis was placed on the SDG 4 whose focus is on equitable and qualitative education for all irrespective of background, religion, race or disability. The goal of sustainable development education is to raise global citizens that can fit into our multicultural world with appropriate knowledge, skills and competences that could align with the demands of immediate localities and the world as a whole. Nigeria’s current national policy on education (FRN, 2013) lays emphasis on compulsory basic education for all. However, findings reveal an abysmal implementation of the scheme, culminating in a high number of out-of-school children. The post basic and tertiary education are also in pathetic conditions as they have failed markedly to address issues of sustainable development, and pave way for unemployment rate to continue to escalate. The study through secondary data, observed poor implementation of the policy, inadequate funding, corruption, unqualified personnel among others as the banes of sustainable education in the country. Nigeria’s government should take measures to revive the educational sector in order to meet up with the sustainable development goals. The study recommends an overhaul of the nation’s educational system.

Abstract

Early education of children in Nigeria has been of great concern to parents, educators, and other stakeholders in education. This has led to a high investment in the educational sector, bus less progress is made at the pre-primary level. Many questions have arisen as to why this low progress has been made. Some attributed this low progress to the issue of classroom management, teacher motivation, and many more. This study, therefore, examined classroom management as a prerequisite to pre-schoolers motivation and affection toward learning and school in Edo South senatorial districts. The study was descriptive, and four research questions were raised to guide the study. The target population comprised classroom teachers in private and public pre-primary schools in the Edo South senatorial district of Edo State. The sample for this study was five hundred (500) teachers drawn from private and public pre-primary schools in the senatorial district. The research instrument used for this study was a questionnaire designed by the researchers. It was a four-Likert scale. It had two sections; Section A consists of the respondents' demographic data while Section B contains the questions that elicited responses from the respondents with response options like, Strongly Agree, Agree, Strongly Disagree, and Disagree. Three experts in the field determined the face and content validity of the instrument. Cronbach alpha method was used to ascertain the reliability of the instrument. It gave an alpha value of 0.89, indicating that the instrument was reliable. Data gathered through the questionnaire were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. A criterion mean of 2.50 was used to accept the items. In contrast, an interpretative norm of 7.50, the product of the criterion mean and the number of items in each cluster, was used to ascertain the extent of teachers' classroom management and motivation on children's affection for school. The findings proved that classroom management affects children's motivation and affection for learning and school. However, teacher motivation was not significant. Therefore, it was concluded that classroom management is a significant factor in facilitating pupil motivation and affection to learning and school. The study recommended that School teachers go for periodical in-service training on classroom management courses. Moreover, Education stakeholders should invest more in the learning environment and make it more attractive to learners by providing all necessary learning facilities.

Abstract

Drug Abuse is a physical and physiological disorder often resulting from persistent and excessive self-administration of drugs without regard to medically and culturally acceptable patterns. This research focuses on the effects and implications of drug abuse on students' attitudes to learning in the Federal College of Education Technical, Gombe. The resultant effects of this menace could be physical, social, psychological, and mental, while the implication reflects mainly the student's cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains of learning. The most commonly abused drugs by students are types of Amphetamine, one of which is tramadol, popularly known as Tramol, and types of Inhalants. The effect is pervasive among adolescent and middle-late childhood youth. The common causes of this menace include peer group, lack of proper parental care and supervision, coping with the pressure of life, and making forget problems. In comparison, some of the signs and symptoms are the unusual use of dark glasses, odor neutralizers such as perfume, air fresheners, and chewing gum. There is a significant relationship between drug abuse and students' attitude to learning. Therefore, it recommends that the college authorities organize periodic or routine seminars and workshops for students on campus. The topic should include health education and counseling, among others, and to request the Government to impose heavy tax on any industry involved in producing such illicit drugs.
