- ItemEmbargoFostering skill acquisition for self-employment and security among ex-national youth corps members in Osun state.(Department of Adult Education And Lifelong Learning, Faculty of Education, Obafemi Awolowo University., 0023) Akintujoye, Iyanuayo GloryThe study assessed the effect of skills acquisition and entrepreneurship in fostering self-employment and security and assessed how the skill acquisition and entrepreneurship development of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has been effective in the reduction of unemployment among youth. It also determined the effectiveness of skill acquisition in reduction of crime for national security. Finally, the study ascertained if skill acquisition can help in bringing about true peace and security. These were with a view to providing empirical information on the nexus between skill acquisition and employment opportunity among the Nigerian youth and how it can in consequence bring about security especially in Osun State. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design and collected both qualitative and quantitative data. Population for the study are all ex-National Youth Corps Members in Osun State. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used in obtaining a sample size of 200 respondent from the study population. At the first stage, two out three senatorial districts were randomly selected using simple random sampling technique. The second stage involved the used of simple random sampling technique for selecting two Local Government Areas (LGAs) from each of the senatorial districts. The third stage involved selecting 50 respondents from each of the selected LGAs using snowballing sampling technique making a total of 200 hundred respondents form the four LGAs. Two types of instruments were employed for data collection. The first was a purposely-developed questionnaire titled “Questionnaire on Fostering Skill Acquisition for Self-employment and Security among ex-National Youth Corps Members in Osun State.” The second one was an in-depth interview titled: “Effectiveness of Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Scheme (SAED) for Employability and Peaceful Co-existence”. (ESAEDEPC) to assess respondents’ views on the issue of security and national unity as related to skill acquisition. The quantitative data was analysed using appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical statistics. For the descriptive analysis, frequency and percentage were used and for the inferential, regression analysis was used while the qualitative data were analysed using content analysis. The results of the study showed that there was statistical significant effect (F=31.193; p<0.05) of skill acquisition and self-employment programme in fostering self-employment and security among youth. It also indicated that there was statistical significant effect (F=109.273; p<0.05) of skill acquisition and entrepreneurship and self-employment programme in reducing unemployment among youth. It showed that there was statistical significant effect (F=18.924; p,0.05) of skill acquisition and entrepreneurship and self-employment programme in reducing crime for national security. It ascertained that there was statistical significant effect (F=12.700; p<0.05) of skill acquisition and entrepreneurship development in bringing true peace and security in the country. The study concluded that skill acquisition and entrepreneurship development foster self-employment and security among Ex-corps Members in Osun State.

- ItemOpen AccessIntelligence quotient and lower primary school pulpils performance in social studies in Osun state, Nigeria(Department Of Institute Of Education, Faculty Of Education Obafemi Awolowo., 2022) FATOYE Damilola OluwatosinThe study examined the level of intelligence quotient of pupils in Osun state. It also determined the lower primary school pupils’ performance in Social Studies in the study area. Furthermore, it ascertained the relationship between pupils’ level of intelligence quotient and pupils’ performance in Social Studies. These were done with a view to providing information on intelligence quotient and lower primary school pupils performance in Social Studies in Osun State, Nigeria. The study adopted correlational survey research design. The population comprised lower primary school pupils in Osun state. The sample size consisted of 500 pupils who were selected using multistage sampling procedure. One senatorial district was selected from the three senatorial districts in the state using simple random sampling technique. Ten local governments were selected from the sampled senatorial district in Osun State using simple random sampling technique. From each local government, one basic school was selected using simple random sampling technique. From each basic school, 50 pupils were randomly selected from two intact classes. Data was collected using two instruments, namely: Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) and Records of Pupils’ Performance in Social Studies(RPPSS). The data collected were analysed using simple percentages, frequency and Pearson Product moment correlation of 0.05 significant level. The results showed that the selected pupils had a high level of intelligence quotient in the study area as shown by 69.7% of the respondents. It was also discovered that most of the respondents in the study area had a high level of academic performance in Social Studies as confirmed by 61.3% of the respondents in the study area. The result also showed a significant relationship between pupils’ level of intelligence quotient and pupils’ performance in Social Studies (r=0.436, P<0.05). The positive value of the correlation shows that there exists a positive relationship between intelligence quotient and performance of the pupils. This implies that the higher the pupils’ intelligent quotient, the higher the performance in Social Studies in the study area. The study concluded that intelligent quotient would predict the academic performance of Social Studies among lower primary school pupils in Osun State.

From the selected local government area, two private schools and two public schools were selected using purposive sampling techniques based on availability of instructional facilities. Four intact classes were selected from two private and two public schools which were consisted of primary three pupils using simple random sampling technique and a total of 75 pupils were randomly sampled using simple random sampling technique. Data collected from both pretest and posttest was analysed using the analysis of covariance. (ANCOVA). The results showed that there was no significant effectiveness of TTT and the TPS teaching strategies on academic performance of pupils’ exposed to TTT and the TPS teaching strategies in learning Social Studies with F (1, 72) = 1.293, p>0.05, ETA squared value of 0.018. The result also revealed that there was no significant effectiveness in the performance of the pupils taught with TTT and TPS strategies in learning Social Studies when comparing with school type with F (1, 70) = 0.103, P > 0.05, ETA squared value of 0.001; and finally, there was no significant difference in the performance of the male pupils and female pupils taught with TTT and TPS strategies in learning Social Studies with F(1, 70) = 0.448, p>0.05, ETA squared value of 0.006 The study concluded that TPS and TTT Strategies are effective at improving the academic performance of public and private lower primary school pupils in Social Studies in Osun State.
