Academic underachievement has become a syndrome especially among high ability learners in Mathematics. This is due to some identified factors which include self-esteem and peer influence of the high ability learners. This study therefore investigated how self-esteem and peer influence can predict the learning outcomes in Mathematics of high ability learners in Ibadan, Oyo State. The survey design of the ex-post facto type was employed in this study. Purposive sampling technique was used to select twenty (20) secondary school out of which 200 high ability learners were randomly selected. Instruments used: Slosson intelligence test (r=0.81); Peer influence inventory (r=0.72); Self-esteem scale (r=0.72) and Mathematics achievement test (r=0.85). The study lasted for eight weeks. Data were analysed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis at 0.05 level of significance. There were positive relationship between learning outcomes in Mathematics with self-esteem (r=2.3); peer influence (r=2.2). There was a significant joint contribution of the independent variables to the dependent variable of learning outcomes in Mathematics. [F(2,197)=7.64; R2=0.072] accounting for 6.3% of its variance. Self-esteem (β=2.6; t=2.176) and peer influence (β=1.6; t=2.114) had a relative contribution on the learning outcomes in Mathematics of highly ability learners. Thus, self-esteem and peer influence were found to be effective predictors of learning outcomes in mathematics of high ability learners. It is therefore recommended that self-esteem of the high ability learners needs to be enhanced through various programmes especially by the school counsellors. Also, parents and wards should support their children by advising them on the type of friends they keep. With this in place, the high ability learners will perform better in Mathematics.

<p class="apa">The study examined ‘Students’ Involvement in Social Networking and attitudes towards its Integration into Teaching. The study was carried out in the University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The population of the study consisted of 17,618 undergraduate students enrolled into full time degree programmes in the University of Uyo for 2014/2015 academic session. The design of the study was survey design with ex-post facto approach. Random sampling technique was used to select 1730 students from the 12 faculties in the University. The instrument used for the study was ‘Students’ Social Networking and Attitude Questionnaire which was validated by an expert in curriculum studies and an expert in measurement and evaluation in the University of Uyo. Cronbach’s Alpha Statistical method was used to determine the reliability coefficient of .70 for the instrument. Two research questions and two null hypotheses tested at .05 level of significance guided the study. Mean and Standard Deviation were used to answer research questions; Independent t-test and Analysis of Variance were used to test the hypotheses. The results show that there is significant difference in involvement of university undergraduate students in Social Networking based on course of study, level (year) of study and age. Female undergraduate students’ involvement in social networking is higher than that of their male counterparts; but male undergraduate students showed a higher positive attitude towards integration of social networking into teaching and learning.</p>

This article highlights how English language teachers professional development and training programmes fosters teachers’ professional competences in the teaching of the subject. English Language is vital in developing communication and social skills in learners as it does empower learners to compete favorably with their peers around the world. The ex-post factor approach of the survey design was adopted in the study. A random sampling technique was used to select twenty primary schools in Oyo state, Nigeria, with 168 English teachers who were currently undergoing the SUBEB/UBEC teacher professional development programme (2018). Two instruments: Teacher Teaching Competence Scale (TTCS) with Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.68 and the Teachers Checklist Observation Scale (TCOS) with Scott Pi reliability coefficient of 0.71 were used for data collection. The data collection lasted for a period of fourteen weeks. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and correlation at 0.05 level of significance. Results revealed that teacher’ attendance and exposure to a professional development and training programme; does enhance their professional teaching competences. It is therefore expedient that stakeholders in the education sector; especially governmental agencies, sponsor and encourage practicing primary teachers in attending and participating in professional development programmes; incentives should also be given to these teachers. This will go a long way at ensuring that these teachers look forward to attending such programmes at any time in the future

The purpose of the study was to determine whether there was a difference between learning outcomes based on VAK learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) in Integrated Social Studies subjects for seventh grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Patianrowo. Researchers used a comparative quantitative approach with a comparative causal design or ex post facto. The population in the study were all students of class VII, amounting to 295 students and the sample was 59 students taken from class VII H and I. The sample was taken using simple random sampling technique. The study used a questionnaire and documentation as data collection instruments. While the data analysis technique used kruskal wallis. The results showed that good learning outcomes based on visual learning styles were 20%, low learning outcomes were 60%, and moderate learning outcomes were 20%. Furthermore, good learning outcomes based on auditory learning styles are 68%, low learning outcomes are 3%, and moderate learning outcomes are 29%. Finally, good kinesthetic learning outcomes are 22%, low learning outcomes are 73%, and low learning outcomes are 5%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in learning outcomes based on learning styles using the VAK learning style in Integrated Social Studies subjects class VII SMP Negeri 1 Patianrowo. This can be seen from the sig value. namely 0.000 <from the significance level of 5% (0.05).

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of selected community based factors on girls’ participation rate in public day secondary schools in Naivasha Sub-County, Kenya. Ex-post facto research design was used in the study. A total of 130 respondents (constituting 26 principals and 104 teachers) from 26 schools were randomly sampled for the study. All the targeted respondents participated in the study giving a response rate of 100%. Simple random sampling technique was used to sample the respondents for the study. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire where two sets of questionnaires were developed for data collection; one for principals and the other for class teachers. Descriptive statistics such as means, percentages and frequencies were used to analyze the data while inferential statistics such as simple regression analysis was used to determine the predictive power of community factors on girls’ participation in school. The study found that three community-level risk factors that had the most negative effect on girls’ participation in public day secondary schools in the study area including: negative peer influence in the community, high incidences of teenage pregnancies and poverty in the community. Drawing from the computed R2 value (R2 = .406), the study revealed that the selected community factors were lowering the rate of girls participation in public day secondary schools by almost 41%. The study concluded that prevalence of the three community level factors such as: high incidence of teenage pregnancies and poverty had great influence on girls’ participation and progression in public day secondary schools in the study area. It was recommended that school, family and community partnerships would be appropriate in minimizing the effect of community level factor on girls’ participation in schools.
