(1988) Adeyanju, S. A.; Adeyanju, L. A.
This investigation was designed to determine the colour preference; assess size discrimination and motor performance ability of children 7-10 years old. Ninety school children (45 males and 45 females) with a mean age of 8.50 (SD + 2.3) were subjects for the study. Subjects reacted to a questionnaire relating to colour preference and colour charts. They also participated in a catching test to assess the motor performance ability. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and a two-way analysis of variance. Results indicated that colour preferences of subjects were sex biased with males preferring red colour and females blue colour. Size discrimination ability was fairly well established among subjects. ANOVA indicated a significant effect for the age and sex factors for catching.

Colour Preferences of Primary School (Yoruba) Student- Teachers
(1990) Adeyanju, J. L.
The study determined variations in the choice of colours among the Associateship Certificate in Education Students (A.C.E.) who were involved in the 'ACE' Summer programme of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife. The study was also carried out to find if there can be an established universally acceptable order of colour. Two hundred and twenty four student-teachers from one hundred and sixty different primary schools in Oyo and Ondo state were sewed with the questionnaire on colour preference. Result showed that there was no established universal order of colour. The student teachers colour preferences were in the following order: Blue (43-31%), Green (26-73%), Purple (16-58%), Red (6- 10%), Yellow (3.23%) and Orange (2.76%). Based on the result of this study, it was recommended that book designers and publishers-should take cognisance of the colour preferences of teachers. Teachers are in a position to influence the types of books to be used in schools and they can also influence colour preferences of children one way or the other.

The Roles and Use of Art as Technology
(1990) Adeyanju, J. O.
Artists do struggle to appeal to their audience by using the medium that best suits them. This they do in order to be fully understood. The architect designs buildings for the utilitarian purpose it serves for the human race. Man needs security from very harsh weather as well as comfort in order to live. The painter represents the socio-cultural changes of his society using paint and brush. So also does the composer of music draw on his consciousness, creating pleasing sounds. The poet chooses his words deliberately in order to communicate. Evidently, what artists intend doing at all time is to express their desire to please.

The Influence of Economic Status on the Reading Preferences of Nigerian Primary Pupils
(1991) Lasisi, Monica; Adeyanju, ‘Lade
Conclusive evidence that socio-economic status, among other factors, affects the book choices of young readers has so far eluded reading comprehension researchers. Thus, the quest still goes on for a statistically valid instrument that may be used as a measure of reading preferences. Through such investigation, an accurate reading interest scale might be provided. Accordingly, the present study sets out to determine the effect of social status on the book selections of children while employing a non-verbal test instrument in the form of pictures.

Educational Technology and Creativity in Advertising
(1994) Adeyanju, Joel Lade
The educational value of the mass media is realisable when one thinks about the problems involved in concept acquisition. The building up of vocabulary required to gain understanding about concepts and creativity development are all very important in getting information across to a heterogeneous group. Attesting to this fact is the impact which the print media, (newspapers, printed materials) radio and television have on the citizenry. Their effects cannot be underestimated. However, the attention given to some of these media of instructions differ and this is a result of impressions which media have for the individual.

The Use of English Programme in Nigeria Tertiary Institutions: A Consideration of the Course Content
(1995) Adegbite, Wale
This paper comments on the nature and components of the use of English programme in Nigerian tertiary institutions and suggests a course content that will enhance the effectiveness of the programme. The paper opines that the use of English is based on an awareness of the English language deficiency of Nigerian students and the need for them to have communicative competence in the language to perform academic tasks. It then suggests that higher institutions should design this programme to promote the teaching of compulsory remedial and developmental English courses, which would complement the amount of general English taught earlier in the primary and secondary schools.

Media, Women and Environmental Education
(1998) Adeyanju, Lade
Nigeria, with a reported population of about one hundred million is yet to get rid of street trading, destitution and solid waste management; while approaching the twenty first century. As the population continues to grow, environmental threats have continued to increase. This is why enlightened Nigerians have to get worried about finding relevant solution to the persistent environmental problems. One of the ways by which awareness can be intensified is through the use of educational media, with due consideration to women education. Unfortunately, a large proportion of Nigerian women cannot read, or write. This is why the educational technology approach should be imbibed. Nigerians will listen to news that relate to their immediate problems. Nigerians will pay to watch a mediated instructional designed film, drama and programmes that could solve their environmental as well as socio-economic problems. The approach to enlightenment through posters, bill-board advertisement, picture, organized seminars and workshops could see Nigeria through some of the problems bedeviling our environment. However, Nigerian women perhaps have distinct role to play.

The Teacher, Communication and Educational Technology for Sustainable National Development
(1999) Adeyanju, 'Lade Joel
The study investigates the attitude of the teacher to the use of educational technology for communicating with learners in the higher education system. A survey of 120 randomly selected subjects comprising 20 teachers and 100 undergraduates of the Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife responded to a questionnaire on the teacher, communication and educational technology for sustainable national development (TECESND). The descriptive statistics of mean scores and percentages were used to analyse the data. Results emanating from the study showed that some instructional materials like boards, text books, charts and regalia were used by teachers to teach in their various disciplines. In some cases visitations and field trips by teachers and students were encouraged. There is a need to mount up training programmes on the use of 'hardware' materials for teachers. Industrialists, medical and paramedical staff and teachers in training would benefit from easy and effective communication. By so doing, educational technology would be contributing to sustainable national development.

Teachers Perception of the effects and use of learning aids in teaching: a case study of Winneba basic and secondary schools.
(2003) Adeyanju, Lade
Learning and teaching is the concern of the trained teacher. But learning is a complex process. It can however be defined as a change in disposition; a relatively permanent change in behaviour overtime and this is brought about by experience. Learning can occur as a result of newly acquired skill, knowledge, perception, facts, principles, new information at hand etc. Learning can be reinforced with learning aids of different variety because they stimulate, motivate as well as arrest learner's attention for a while during the instructional process.

The Place of Computer in Fine Art Teaching in the Digital Age: A case of Curriculum Repositioning
(2005) Egbedokun, A. O.; Badru, F. M.; Adeyanju, J. L; Idowu, Lanre
The effect of computer has swept across all the continents of the globe and has impacted positively on our economic, social, political, religious and educational spheres. Computer is no longer an amazing wizard as it used to be almost 20 years ago. It is now a commonplace and it continues to spread and affect our lives and work. In education, teaching and learning modes are undergoing rethink. Researches are in top gear to examine the 'effects' of computer and its possible integration into the curriculum vis-a-vis theories/principles guiding teaching and learning process. As part of the cases made in favour of computer as an effective teaching and learning mode is that it develops an open-ended exploratory experiences in the students based on its ability to stimulate constructivist's philosophy to learning. This paper principally focuses on the benefits and process of computer integration into the Fine Arts curriculum in both tertiary and secondary schools. It also presents a computer integration model, which can be adopted. The positions taken in this paper thus guide the recommendations provided.

(2005) Adeyanju, Lade
Eighteen (18) Freshmen; 12 male and 06 female with age of between 18 and 24, mean 21 years, S.D. 4.5, who are non athletes but indicated interest in playing volleyball game were exposed to a repetitive show of a locally recorded video tape for one hour on volleyball. Subjects of the study were selected through randomization procedure and sorted into groups A, B, and C comprising 02 female and 04 male in each of the groups. Group A, Group B, and Group C viewed the video show once, twice and three times respectively within two weeks. Group A participated with Group C during the first day of viewing, while group B and C, were given further treatments subsequently. Data gathered on skill acquisition were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Results indicate students to gain knowledge in volleyball skill acquisition in reference to overhead serve, reception, volleying and spiking of the ball. It was recommended that locally recorded videotapes be used repeatedly to motivate as well as reinforce skill learning in ball games. The repetition of the view clip seems to have effects on acquisition and mastery of skills. Group B viewed the video clips two times and they performed better than groups A and C. When skill acquisition by gender was analyzed there was no difference in both male and female performances.

Teacher Quality, Modern Technology Applications and Teaching at a South-Western Nigerian University
(2006) Adeyanju, Lade
Increase in enrolment of learners at the different levels of the educational system and particularly in the South-western Nigerian universities motivates this paper. The stretched facilities, infrastructure, poor funding and attitude of stressed teachers to adoption of new technologies affect quality teaching and thus demand the attention of instructional designers. It is felt that the application of modern technologies in teaching and learning, especially the interactive instructional design packages as used in the (K12 school education) would lead to quality teaching. It was suggested that teachers be encouraged to explore the potentials found in the information communication technologies (ICTs).
