Introducción. Sin ninguna duda, la disciplina de Estudios Sociales se incluyó en el currículum escolar de Nigeria poco después de la independencia, dando los primeros pasos en 1963. Una disciplina de tal naturaleza apareció por el afán de tener un curso que pudiera ayudar a la comprensión y búsqueda de soluciones para los problemas de confrontación en una sociedad que necesitaba incrementar la calidad de la enseñanza para los estudiantes. Así pues, es necesario aunar técnicas y estrategias para transmitir los contenidos de la misma. El artículo investiga los efectos que tres estilos de docencia (aprendizaje cooperativo, resolución de problemas y enseñanza convencional) tienen sobre el rendimiento de estudiantes de educación secundaria en dicha disciplina.Método. El diseño de la investigación se corresponde con un diseño pretest-postest con grupos no equivalentes de carácter cuasi-experimental. Participaron 150 estudiantes (80 hombres y 70 mujeres) que forman parte de una muestra estratificada correspondiente a tres centros de Osun State, Nigeria. Además, y basado en el diseño, los estilos de docencia fueron cruzados con el género.Resultados. Los resultados muestras que los estudiantes expuestos a estrategias de aprendizaje cooperativo tenían mejores rendimientos que los compañeros de otros grupos. Los resultados también indican el efecto de las estrategias de docencia en función del género de los estudiantes.Discusión y Conclusiones. Los resultados del estudio son significativos y relevantes. Estos resultados han tenido implicaciones en la planificación curricular, la formación del profesorado, cursos de formación continua y práctica en el aula.

The Impact

This study examined the impact of cognitive restructuring and token economy techniques on the reduction of truancy among secondary school students in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a pre-test, post-test, control group design with a multistage sampling technique as the sampling method. Judgmental sampling technique was used to select two from the six Education Districts in Lagos State, simple random sampling technique was adopted to select six schools; three schools from each of the two Education Districts and 170 truants out of the 216 randomly selected based on the class attendance register completed the study. Truancy Behaviour Questionnaire (TBQ) with a reliability index of .87 was the instrument for the study. Data were analysed and presented with descriptive and ANOVA statistics at .05 level of significance. Findings showed that the two techniques were effective for the reduction of truancy but the token economy technique had a better effect. Sex had no significant effect on the reduction of truancy but females play truants more than males. Based on the findings, the token economy therapy was recommended as an ideal technique for counselling and guiding students against truancy.

And Control

This study was developed and conducted to test the effect of cognitive restructuring in the management of mathophobia (that is, Mathematics anxiety) among secondary school students in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria. To guide the study, two research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated for testing at 0.05 level of significance. In executing the study, the pre-test, post-test, and control group experimental research design was adopted using a randomized sample of 120 SS2 students drawn from three public secondary schools only. The researchers developed an instrument titled “Mathematics Diagnostic Questionnaire” (MDQ) which was adequately assessed for validity and reliability and was used in collecting pre-test and post-test data for the cognitive restructuring and control groups. Data analysis was done using mean, and standard deviation for the research questions, while independent sample and paired sample t-test were used for the hypotheses. The result obtained showed that the cognitive restructuring was significantly effective in the management of mathophobia among secondary school students. There is a slight reduction in the effect of cognitive restructuring during follow-up; there is a statistical significant difference in the mathophobic level of students treated with cognitive restructuring and those in the control group. Based on the major findings, recommendations were made among which is that functional guidance and counselling centers be established at all educational levels and be manned by professional counsellors who are competent in cognitive restructuring techniques to assist those who have mathophobia and other maladaptive behaviours. Suggestions for further study were made.

Problem Solving Process

This exploratory study attempts to determine problem solving steps in block based programming environments. The study was carried out throughout one term within Code.org. Participants were 15 6th grade secondary school students enrolled in an IT course at a public secondary school. Observations, screenshots and interviews were analyzed together to find out what students do and what they think during problem solving process. As a result, three main steps (focus, fight and finalize) were extracted from students’ behavioral patterns. The results suggest that three steps occur in linear or cyclic manner with regard to the programming constructs required for the solution of the problem. Implications for instructors who desire to provide a better learning experience on problem solving through block-based programming are also included.
