“…Other authors have found that subjects themselves attribute low performance to low ability and to luck, and an improvement in performance -to motivation (task goal orientation), self-regulating behaviours, and to competence as a function of task characteristics (Oni, 2007). Gbadamosi (2012) showed positive correlations between the value given to the task and the perceptions of auto-efficacy and performance. Academic self-concept is at the base of future school success or failure, having been formed starting in early childhood education from peer contact and teacher attitude and expectations.…”

“…Oni (2007) and Omoegun (2007) averred that there is a significant difference between the rates of deviant behaviour among students from high and low family income. Also, Gbadamosi (2012) observed that when a child gets proper nutrition, health care, proper sewage and refuse disposal experience, and the ability to interact well with the environment, such child would not be found wanton in many spheres of life (Ugboma, 2002). In view of the general poverty level in Nigeria, the intention of this study is to determine whether there would be any significant difference in the environmental learning outcomes among students from high, medium and low parental income.…”

The school system, regardless of the level of operation, is generally accepted as a major agent of education. It provides avenues for interaction between students and teachers on subject matters. However, the location of the school determines many students’ knowledge, attitude and practices. Also, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of the parents’ role in the progress and educational development of their children. Family background as an important and weighty factor in determining the academic performance attained by the student needs to be investigated. This study adopted a pre-test-post-test control group quasi-experimental design. Intact class of Junior Secondary School II Social Studies students in each of the six schools in Oyo state were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Three validated instruments were used in this study, and they are the Environmental Education Knowledge Test (EEKT), Environmental Education Attitude Scale (EEAS) and Environmental Education Practice Questionnaire (EEPQ). The data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with the pretest scores used as covariates. All the null hypotheses were tested at a P < .05 level of significance. The study showed a significant two-way interaction effect of family socioeconomic status and school location on students’ eco-friendly knowledge, attitude and practices. It was recommended that schools should be kept safe and parents should develop more streams of income, as a single income source has become a great economic challenge in Nigeria. Keywords: family socioeconomic status, school location, students’ eco-friendly knowledge, students’ eco-friendly attitude, students’ eco-friendly practices, school security, alternative income

“…Somewhere the teacher's inability to handle all the contents satisfactorily due to her lack of confidence and knowledge in all areas of social science also appeared as an obstacle. Also lack of technological skills which could be used to create a better impact of the content delivery resulted in the student's discontent (Gbadamosi, T.V. (2018).…”

The paper presents an overview of prevailing pedagogic practices of social science in India. It also offers an understanding of the obstacles in achieving an effective system of student-teacher interaction in actual humanities classroom which appear as hindrance in the achievement of optimal results. In this study, interview technique is used as qualitative research method and utilized as a means of data collection. For this purpose, interviews were conducted with the teachers as well as the students in the humanities study group. This provided us with the dual perspective on the issue, both from the teachers as well as the student point of view. The analysis of teachers' interview revealed that the teaching of social science is a reflection of teacher's own biases and beliefs; dominated by deficit model of thinking and learning. Against this backdrop the paper tries to find a solution to the problem associated with the issue of objectivity in teaching Social Science. The student interviews on the other hand proved as a resource to find the problems faced by them in understanding the various themes dealt by the teachers in the classroom. Hence, the dual perspective has helped us in understanding the problem from both the sides. This study tries to find the gaps that exist between the knowledge imparted by the teachers and the understanding developed by the students in this process.

“…Marcus also explains further that service-learning is more basically concerned with empowering students with knowledge that can make them do permanent good for the interest of their communities. Service-learning's central components include: active participation, thoughtfully organized experiences, focus on community needs and school/community coordination, academic curriculum integration, structured time for reflection, opportunities for application of skills and knowledge, extended learning opportunities, build self-confidence and development of a sense of caring for others (Trane & Zane, 2014, Gbadamosi, 2012).…”

“…Improvement in knowledge and skills, sense of caring and increase self-confidence are as a result of teaching through service learning strategy (Trae & Zane, 2014). Four-stage service-learning processes are (a) preparation, (b) implementation, (c) assessment/reflection, and ddemonstration/celebration (Gbadamosi, 2012;Trae & Zane, 2014).…”

Universities in Nigeria are established to perform three functions-teaching, research and community service. In spite of the establishment of several government and private-owned universities in Nigeria, most of these tertiary institutions have been criticised for not meeting the objectives of their establishment. This is because gaps between the gown and the town exist to the extent that the functionality of the education provided and the relevance of the certificates awarded to the society are being questioned. However, service learning was one of the ways used to bridge the gaps between the universities and communities in some of the developed and developing countries. This study therefore examined the extent to which lecturers incorporate service learning into teaching learning process. The study adopted mixed research design. Three research questions were posed for the study. Validated Service learning Structure Interview Schedule (r= 0.826) was administered to One hundred and fifty lecturers selected from three Universities in Southwest, Nigeria using multi stage sampling technique. The data collected was analysed using descriptive statistic and content analysis. The results and implications of the findings were discussed while recommendations were also made.
