    (Obafemi Awolowo University, 1985) Jaiyeoba, Modupe Olubunmi; Fasokun, T. O.
    An assessment of the organizational efficiency and effectiveness of Adult Literacy programme in Ondo State from 1977 to 1983 was undertaken. To guide the study it was hypothesized that: 1) There is no relationship between the rank of the Local governments population (demand) and by the number of literacy classes (supply). 2) There is no significant difference in both the organizational efficiency and effectiveness measured teacher/Participant ratio and performance between the Civilian and Military administration and between the local governments with above and below state value. 3) There is no correlation between the aggregate of both efficiency and effectiveness indices in the ranks of local governments, for the period of the study. The study incorporated the use of a Questionnaire and consequent upon carious statistical analyses the following results were obtained: 1) there was a relationship between the rank of the Local governments by population (demand) and by the number of literacy classes (supply) in 1977 and no relationship in 1983. 2) There was a significant difference in both the organizational efficiency and effectiveness as measured by teacher/ participant ratio and performance between the Civilian and Military administration and between the local governments with above and below state value. 3) a positive correlation existed between the aggregate ranks of both efficiency and effectiveness index for the period of study. In view of the findings, the following implications and recommendations an ear justified 1) There is a need for a fairer distribution of literacy classes. 2) It is also recommended that efforts should be made to improve the organizational system of Adult Literacy programmed. Some areas deemed related to the present problems and results were suggested for further research. These include: 1) A replication of the study in other states of Nigeria. 2) A replication of the study in other areas of education. 3) Extension of the study from 1933 till present time.

    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.
