Abstract

The main problem is that students are less motivated to learn because the material is theoretical, tends to be monotonous, boring, and uninteresting. Using Artsteps Media, this project aims to improve the learning motivation of class XI-MBA students at SMA Negeri 4 Malang to learn about art and culture. Classroom Action Research (CAR), developed by Kemmis and McTaggart, was used in this study. This study was conducted in two cycles with four stages, namely planning in the first stage, action in the second stage, observation in the third stage, and reflection in the fourth stage. A total of 35 students participated in the activity. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, performance tests, and documentation. Based on the results of the study, students' learning motivation increased in pre-cycle from 29% to 100% in cycle II. By depicting a virtual exhibition space, the use of Artsteps Media can make learning more interesting and encourage students to participate more actively. This study shows the effectiveness of using Artsteps Media in improving students' learning motivation in studying art and culture with art exhibition materials.

Abstract

Racism is one of the themes explored in literary arts. Systematic investigations into the teaching of the theme of racism in English novels in senior secondary schools in Anambra State have been scarce. The aim of this study therefore is to investigate the teaching of the theme of racism in English novels in senior secondary schools in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State. The objective of the study wass to identify the problems encountered by students in learning the theme of racism in Black Boy in senior secondary schools and to identify possible remedies to the constraints for effective teaching and learning of the theme of racism in Black Boy in senior secondary schools. The study adopts a descriptive survey design. Purposive sampling technique was used to select Richard Wright's Black Boy for the study. The instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire. The theoretical framework adopted for this study was McClelland theory of achievement and motivation. The study reveals that the unfamiliar background of the author constitutes a problem for 90% of the respondents, thereby making it difficult for both students and teachers to determine the setting, theme, and other things about the novel. The study concludes that the learners need proper understanding of the theme of racism to adjust properly in their environment. The paper recommends that the government should employ more English teachers, especially at the senior secondary level.

Abstract

Land use and land cover (LULC) changes significantly influence watershed hydrological processes and flood risk. This study assessed the effects of long-term LULC change on the hydrological response of the Anambra Watershed between 1995 and 2025 using Remote Sensing (RS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and HEC-HMS hydrological modelling. Satellite imagery was analyzed to quantify historical land cover changes, while HEC-HMS was employed to simulate rainfall–runoff responses under varying land use conditions. The results revealed a 184.2% increase in built-up areas and substantial declines in forest cover (34.1%) and wetlands (34.0%) over the study period. Hydrological simulations showed that these changes reduced infiltration by 45.4%, increased surface runoff by 36.0%, and increased peak discharge by 38.6% under a 100-year rainfall event. The time-to-peak also decreased from 14.2 to 11.8 hours, indicating a faster watershed response to storm events. Flood susceptibility mapping further revealed that approximately 73% of the watershed falls within medium to very high flood-risk categories, with the highest vulnerability concentrated in the southern floodplain regions. The findings demonstrate that long-term land use change has significantly altered the hydrological behaviour of the watershed and increased flood vulnerability. The study highlights the importance of riparian restoration, wetland conservation, and sustainable urban drainage strategies for effective flood-risk management within the watershed.

Abstract

This study examined ethical leadership as a predictor of teachers’ task performance in public secondary schools in Delta State, Nigeria. Four research questions and four null hypotheses guided the study. A correlational research design was adopted. population comprised 11,011 teachers in public secondary schools across the 25 Local Government Areas of Delta State. A sample of 551 teachers was selected using proportionate stratified and simple random sampling techniques. Data were collected using two researcher-developed instruments: the Ethical Leadership Questionnaire (ELQ) and Teachers’ Task Performance Questionnaire (TTPQ). The instruments were validated by experts in Educational Management and Measurement and Evaluation, while reliability was established using Cronbach Alpha, which yielded an overall coefficient of 0.750. Data were analysed using simple regression analysis at the 0.05 level of significance with the aid of SPSS version 27. The findings revealed that ethical leadership significantly predicted teachers’ task performance. Specifically, dimensions such as integrity, fairness, accountability, effective communication, participatory decision-making, and professional conduct positively influenced teachers’ effectiveness in carrying out instructional and school-related responsibilities. The study concluded that ethical leadership is essential for improving teachers’ task performance in public secondary schools. It was therefore recommended that principals should uphold ethical standards, encourage participatory leadership practices, and maintain transparent communication to enhance teachers’ effectiveness and overall school productivity.

Abstract

Promoting healthy eating among youth is hindered by limited access to reliable dietary guidance, which often leads to poor nutritional practices and adverse long-term health outcomes among adolescents. This study adopted an ex-post facto, descriptive survey design in Delta State, Nigeria. Out of a population of 14,819 public senior secondary students across three senatorial zones, a sample of 390 students from 18 schools was selected using Slovin’s formula and multistage sampling. Data was collected via a validated, 4-point Likert scale questionnaire (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.81) with a 100% retrieval rate. Analysis involved percentages, mean scores, standard deviations, and t-test statistics using SPSS version 22. Based on 390 respondents, senior secondary students agreed that television (M = 3.47), friends/classmates (M = 3.26), radio (M = 2.90), and social media (M = 2.76) are available nutritional information sources, exceeding the 2.50 cut-off. Conversely, they disagreed on home economics textbooks, newspapers, and fiction books (M = 2.23 – 2.40). Standard deviations ranged from 0.63 to 0.99. Hypothesis testing revealed a significant locational difference in information sources between urban (N = 219, M = 21.42, SD = 2.62) and rural (N = 171, M = 12.35, SD = 2.38) students. With t-cal = 35.32 and p = 0.00 (at alpha = 0.05), the null hypothesis was rejected. In conclusion, secondary students rely heavily on electronic and social media for nutritional knowledge, while print media remains ineffective. Significant urban-rural disparities highlight the urgent need for equitable, localized nutritional interventions.
