    Effects of Instructional Package on Achievement of Beginners in French in Selected Secondary Schools in Oranmiyan Local Government Area of Oyo state.
    (Obafemi Awolowo University, 1986) Amosu, Sewanu Ayodele; Akanbi, D. K.
    The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of an instructional package on beginners of French. The package consisted of an audio-taped lesson synchronized with a set of fourteen slides on a French concept - Time. One hundred and five students were randomly assigned to three, groups Experimental Group T, Experimental Croup II and the Control Group. Each group was exposed to the normal two periods a week each of thirty weeks duration. The first Experimental Group was first taught by the teacher and inter exposed to the instructional package. The Control Greta', however, was taught by the teacher only without any exposure to the package while the third group - Experimental group TT - was exposed to the package only. All the subjects were then asked to answer a set of ten questions based on the content of the concept. The result showed that learners in ' experimental Croup I performed significantly better then the Control Group. It was also found that there was no significant difference in the performance of the learners in Experimental Croup II and the Control Group. The Experimental Group I performed significantly better than the Experimental Group II. Arising from these findings, the study has shown that there cannot be a substitute for the teacher. Rather than replace a teacher, an instructional package would complement the efforts of the teacher in promoting learning. Emanating from the findings of the study are the following recommendations: Efforts should be made to improve and revise methods of teaching the French language by integrating the use of instructional packages into the school curriculum. Courses on instructional design should form an integral part of the curriculum of teacher training programmes of the colleges of education so that their graduates become familiar with the production and use of instructional packages. Furthermore, research studies should be conducted on other concepts such as the teaching of grammar and comprehension in French.

    Effects of Specificity of Objectives on Learners Acquisition of Biology Concept in a Film-Mediated Instruction.
    (Obafemi Awolowo University, 1985) Akinsanya, Timothy Olabode; Akanbi, D. K.
    This study was designed to find the effects of specificity of objectives on learners’ acquisition of Biology concept in film-mediated instruction. One hundred and fifty form three students were randomly assigned to one of the three groups. One of the groups was given specific objectives, another, general objectives and the third group was not provided with objectives before they were all exposed to instructional film on a biological topic. All the students were then asked to answer a set of ten questions derived from the content of the film and which was directly referenced from the behavioural objectives provided to the students. The results showed that there were significant differences at 0.05 level of significance in the level of achievement between the specific objective group, and the other two groups and between the General objective group and the No objective group. These results indicated that specificity of objectives has a favourable effect on the level of achievement of students. Based on the result of the study, the investigator recommends that the government and other agencies responsible for the administration of schools should make funds available to our educational institutions to bear the cost of materials needed for the provision of objectives to students. It is also important that teachers, at all institutional levels should be trained to know how to write and use behavioural objectives.

    Influence of Non-print Media on Adult Literacy Programmes in Oyo State.
    (Obafemi Awolowo University, 1986) Adeniji, Jonathan Gbemiga; Akanbi, D. K.
    This study examined the influence of non-print media on adult literacy programmes in Oyo State. It investigated the availability and frequency of use of non-print media. It examined the influence that the use of non-print media had on the attitude of learners and instructors. Problems militating against effective use of non-print media were identified. The relationships between the extent of use of non-print media, teachers' educational qualifications and in-service training experiences in media use were also determined. Information was collected by questionnaire and interview. From the population of about 2,673, the study sample consisted of 300 adult learners and 30 instructors. Averages, percentages and multiple correlations were used to analyse the data. Emanating from the analyses of the data are the following: Non-print media were not very frequently used to teach adult learners. Learners and instructors living in urban areas have more positive attitude than those in rural areas, towards the use of non-print media. Lack of funds was the most important problem hindering effective use of non-print media. Educational qualifications and in-service training experiences of instructors were found inadequate. It was recommended that religions bodies, governments and communities should provide more funds to acquire non-print media. Teacher training institutions should emphasize the use of non-print media in their course contents. Local governments should organize seminars, talks and workshops on media use regularly. Governments should mount more development programmes to provide facilities for use of non-print media in rural setting. It was also recommended that instructors with formal educational training in media use should be more involved in the teaching of adult learners.
