The purposivesampling procedure was used to select 40 NTINCE and 40 full-time NCE teachers who teach at the middlebasic in Ogun State, Nigeria. A valid and reliable instrument, the Classroom Interaction Sheet (CIS) (ranging from 0.70-0.85) was used to obtain classroom coded behaviours of these teachers. Data were analysed using descriptive, t-test and ANOVA statistics. NTI NCE teachers and full-time NCE teachers did not facilitate active learning activities in the classroom as 10.3 and 10.4 minutes respectively were spent facilitating learning, whereas pupils under the two types of teachers spent 4.2 minutes or about 29% of the class time respectively participating in learning activities. NTI NCE and full-time NCE teachers spent 6.27and6. 21 minutes respectively on monologue and other activities that did not facilitate learning.

The issue of Moral Decadence is becoming worrisome not only among the Nigerian Tertiary Institutions but in the world at large and it’s gradually eroding the morals and values which has been of great benefit to people’s greatness in the past.  As an evaluator, this concern leads to the conceptualization of this study that assessed the causes of moral decadence, identified those to be blamed and provide probable solutions to the menace. Three research questions guided the study and descriptive survey research design was used.  Purposive sampling technique was used to select four hundred undergraduate that participated in the study.  The adapted and revalidated Moral Decadence Questionnaire (MODEQ) from Olorundare (2011) study was used and it yielded reliability co-efficient of 0.88. The results reveal that Parental negligence, negative mass media contents, peer group influences, among others are the causes of moral decadence and that Parents are the most to be blamed for the level of moral decadence.  To curb this menace, effective parenting, engendering positive peer influence, among others can achieve the best result. Recommendation was made, that Parents should consciously contribute to the building of a morally viable Nigerian society by instilling strong moral values into their children.
