(Department of Educational management, Faculty of Education. Obafemi Awolowo University., 2022) JEMBOLA, Olujoke Emily
This study assessed the type of Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) facilities and equipment available in pre-basic schools in Southwestern Nigeria; determined the extent of the use of CALtools and instructional strategies in managing instruction in the study area and compared the use of CAL in managing instruction in public and private pre-basic schools. It also examined the influence of CAL on children learning outcomes in literacy (reading, writing) and numeracy (counting, sorting); determined the influence of CAL technologies on children skill acquisition (spelling, shading) and behavioural patterns (attentiveness, cooperation); and, examined the problems teachers encountered in using CAL tools for teaching. These were with a view to providing empirical information on the management and influence of CAL on learning outcomes among pre-basic school children in Southwestern Nigeria.The study adopted the descriptive survey research design using quantitative approach. The population comprised the 36,332 teachers in Southwestern Nigeria which included 22,066 public and 14,266 private pre-basic and primary school teachers respectively. A sample of 381 publicand 378 private primary school teachers were selected using multi-stage sampling procedure. Purposive sampling technique was used in selecting three states out of the six Southwestern states with three LGAs selected from each of the three senatorial districts of the selected states. Seven public and seven private schools were selected from each sampled LGA and six teachers selected from each sampled school. Furthermore, a teacher was selected to teach with CAL tools for observation while the nursery two class was selected for Test of Skill Acquisition on CAL.The study used Management of Computer Assisted Learning, Instructional Strategies and Learning Outcomes in Pre-basic Schools Questionnaire (MACALISLOPS-Q), Teachers’ Observation Schedule on CAL Application (TOSCALA) and Test of Skill Acquisition on CAL in Pre-basic Schools (TESACALPS) for data collection. Data collected were analysed using percentages and mean scores to answer the questions while the hypotheses were tested using Analysis of variance. The results showed that the types of CAL facilities and equipment used in teaching in the study area are Computer desktop / laptop (81.2%), interactive white board (53.9%), television (75.6%), smart phones 59.4%, DVDs and CDs (69.4%). The extent of use of CAL was ranked high in private (r = 4.22, 80%) but low in public pre-basic schools (r = 2.18, 40%). Results indicated a significant difference in the use of CAL tools in managing instruction in public and private schools (F=204.959, p<0.05). Results further showed a significant influence of CAL on children Literacy and Numeracy (F-= 4.517, p<0.05), skill acquisition and behavioural pattern (F=14.313, p<0.05) in private pre-basic schools with no significant influence in public schools (F=1.095, p<0.05); (F=3,587, p<0.05). Findings showed that teachers encountered various problems in application of CAL in the study area. The study concluded that Management of Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) and instructional strategies have significant influence on the learning outcomes among the private pre-basic school children due to its availability and usage, but had no significant influence on public pre-basic school children due to unavailability in Southwestern Nigeria.

A study of some effects to Streptozotocin induced diabetes mellitus on the visual relay centers (Lateral Geniculate Nucleus and Superior Colliculus) of the adult Wistar rats (Rattus Norvegicus)
(Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife., 2008) Adefule, Adebayo Kehinde
This study joins others in trying to confirm some effects of Streptozotocin induced diabetes mellitus on the visual relay centers on wistar rats. Atotal of 80 wistar rats of both sexex weighing 200g-220g were used and the rate were grouped into treatment and control groups. Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) dissolved in 0.0lm citrate buffer at a dosage of 70mg/kg body weight. The control received an equivalent volume of 0.0lm citrate buffer only.
