This study sought information on teachers’ perception of the usefulness of ICT on their effectiveness. The population comprised of the teachers in Colleges of Education teachers in Osun State. A random sample of one hundred (100) teachers was selected from these teachers. The data collected were analysed using frequency counts, percentages, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and t-test statistics. The findings were that there was no significant relationship between ICT resources and teachers’ effectiveness; there was a positive relationship between teachers’ attitudes towards the usage of ICT and their usage of ICT; and that there is a difference in usage of ICT in teaching by gender. It is argued that for teachers to appreciate usage of ICTs in teaching, they need to see that ICT tools are imperative for teaching.

This study aims to (1) prove a significant relationship between short story writing skills and reading interest. (2) proves a significant relationship between short story writing skills and mastery of figurative language. This type of research is quantitative research and the research design used is an expost facto correlational design. The data of this research are numerical data/nominal scores of interest in reading, mastery of figurative language and short story writing skills. Data collection techniques, namely questionnaire data to collect information on reading interest, multiple choice test data, and data on the assignment of writing short stories. The data analysis technique uses statistics that aim to determine the relationship between variables. The results obtained indicate that the results of the questionnaire analysis of students' reading interest get the category level with the highest frequency, which is in the high category. The results of the analysis of students' mastery of figurative language got the category level with the highest frequency, which was in the medium category. The results of the analysis of students' short story writing skills got the category level with the highest frequency, which was in the high category. There is a significant relationship between the variable of reading interest and short story writing skills with a significance value of 0.002 with a correlation coefficient of 0.437, therefore the value of sig. <0.05 indicates a moderate positive relationship between reading interest and short story writing skills.

This study explored the imperatives of effective Working Capital Management (WCM) and Profitability in the banking industry in Nigeria. WCM core variables namely: Short-term Investments; Credits to customers and Account Receivables and Payables were used as proxy. Survey design was adopted and data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed with Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC) denoted by ‘r’. The findings to an extent counter apriori expectation. Though the values of ‘r’ exhibited positive signs affirming positive relationship, the strength of relationship is on the average. This was affirmed by the values of (r2), especially that of the variable ‘Credits to customers’ which stood low at 0.2229, meaning that the variable explained only 22.29% variation in Profitability. By implications, the results suggest that WCM variables have not yielded sufficient cash flows that could optimize profits. We therefore recommend efficient surveillance of WCM variables in order to reduce instances that lead to funds losses.

There are 187 public secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria out of which 100 were randomly selected. “Secondary Education Cost and Internal Efficiency Checklist" (SECIEC) was used to collect data. Five research questions and one hypothesis were raised and analysed using percentage and- Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient at 0.05 alpha level. The study revealed that budgetary allocations as the main source of funds to secondary schools which dropped annually from 29.2 % of total cost in 2005 to 7.7% in 2009. A significant relationship existed between public cost and internal efficiency in the schools (r=0.623; p < 0.05, df= 98). It was recommended that government should mobilize special funds to expand and renovate the available school facilities.

Teaching is considered a multifarious task. Teachers, in the pursuit of educational success, are burdened with numerous teaching workloads and dilemmas causing them stress. This study endeavored to determine the influence of stress on professional satisfaction of multigrade teachers. It employed correlation research design involving thirty (30) purposively selected multigrade teachers in the Schools Division of General Santos City (GSC), Southern Philippines. Employing the survey method, tailored questionnaires were utilized to gather the needed data. The statistical tools employed in the analysis were weighted mean and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. Moderate level of stress and high level of professional satisfaction are gained among the multigrade teachers surveyed. It was further found out that there is no significant relationship between stress and professional satisfaction, providing evidence that stress may not necessarily influence satisfaction. This result offers unique implications in theory, practice, and research which are discussed in the study.

The influence of language attitude on the academic achievement of young children in the monolingual context has not been explored. Thus, this research ascertained the degree of relationship between attitudes toward the mother tongue and the academic performance of the learners. It entailed correlation research design. The respondents were 20 Grade II pupils in a rural public school considered as monolingual in the southern Philippines. The data gathered were treated using frequency distribution, weighted mean, percentage rate, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. It was found out that there is a significant relationship between attitudes toward the mother tongue and the academic performance of learners. Amid the vast body of diverse researches in the area of language education, the present study weaves pieces of evidence that attitudes of learners toward mother tongue are associated with their academic performance in the context of a monolingual environment. It is suggested that such a conclusion should be further tested in other contexts.

The Relationship

This study attempts to find a relation between the amount of interest in poetry and the degree of sensitivity, especially among the college students. If a positive correlation can be found, scholars and teachers may be able to offer students with weak perception of the environment, poetry reading. Dr. Elaine N. Aron’s questionnaire, Highly Sensitive Person Scale 2007, was the tool of this paper to evaluate the hypersensitivity of students, the results of which were tested correlation with a number of five questions that was added to the original questionnaire. The added questions were to demonstrate the students’ interest or disinterest toward poetry, and through Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient and independent Samples T-Test it became possible to calculate the correlation of sensitivity tests and the interest in poetry. The results answered research questions, and it was found that except the question number five, there was no significant relationship between sensitivity and the other variables. However, the question number five which showed a positive relationship between sensitivity and the amount of empathetic understanding of those who are interested in poetry, could indicate a meaningful correlation by reminding that empathy is an equivalence of unconscious admittance
