“…The study found no significant difference between the mean academic performance scores of undergraduate Social Studies students taught using e-learning in relation to gender and institutional ownership. This finding reaffirms the results of Chen, Lambert and Guidry (2010), Alokan and Arijesuyo (2013), and Naqvi and Naqvi (2017) which reveal no significant difference in the academic performance of students in relation to gender and the location of their schools. However, the study disconfirms the result of Ngwu (2015), Opoku-Asare and Siaw (2015) and Akinwumi (2017) which find that students in boys-only school have higher mean performances than those in girls-only schools.…”

This study explored the effect of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) on the teaching of selfreliance skills for sustainable entrepreneurship development amongst undergraduate Social Studies students in Kaduna State, Nigeria. Three (3) research objectives, questions and null hypotheses guided the study. A quasi-experimental research design was employed. The Self Reliance Skills Performance Test (SERSIT) was used for data collection. Mean, standard deviation, t-test and two-way ANOVA statistics were used. The findings revealed that a significant difference exists between the mean academic performance and retention scores of undergraduate students taught self-reliance skills using CAI and those taught using conventional methods. No significant difference was found between the mean academic performance scores of undergraduate students taught self-reliance skills using CAI in relation to gender and ownership. Based on the findings, it was recommended, amongst others thing, that subsequent curriculum review in Social Studies should accommodate the dynamism of CAI atall levels. This will promote a student-centred instructional approach, autonomy in knowledge acquisition and self-discovery learning to ensure sustainable entrepreneurship development in Kaduna state.

“…It is further observed from the results that the adolescents in the urban communities were rated high and rural children low, with semi-urban adolescents falling somewhere in-between. The finding corroborates Owoeye and Yara (2011), Alokan and Arijesuyo (2013) and Onoyase (2015) study findings that uncovered differences in academic performance of students in rural and urban settings. The finding is also consistent with Totan et al (2014) revelation of differences in the social competence of the adolescents who resided in different settings.…”

The study examined social competence of adolescents and ascertained variations in the group based on gender, type of parents they lived with, and community of residence. The comparative analysis study utilised adolescents in their formative years of development. Descriptive survey design was utilised and questionnaire was the sole data collection tool. The study revealed that most of the adolescents demonstrated moderate levels of social competence in social settings. The research did not find difference in the social competence of adolescents living with real and pseudo parents; and male and female adolescents. The results, nonetheless, showed significant difference in the social competence of the adolescents living in the rural, semi-urban and urban communities. The results evince that location of residence matters in the development of adolescents' social competence. Policies, strategies and programmes intended to help improve adolescents' social competence in the developing world need to target those residing in rural communities more than those in the other communities.

“…However, contrary to the above, the finding of the present study in which no significant difference is found in place of residence vis-à-vis mathematics results is explicable owing to government efforts in narrowing the imbalances between urban and rural schools (in terms of resources and facilities) and exposures to television and Internet in the rural environment had assisted students in rural areas to study English so they could keep up with their maths which was taught in the English language. This was supported by the study of Alokan & Arijesuyo (2013). In sum, the outcomes of the present study suggest that the null hypothesis failed to be rejected.…”

Emotional Intelligence appears to be a significant influencing factor in academic achievements. This study aims to identify the relationship between trait emotional intelligence and mathematics achievements (a relatively sparse research areas of academic achievements) among undergraduates in higher learning institution of Sarawak. 100 respondents from a higher-level institution of Sarawak participated in this study. Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) is used to measure the trait emotional intelligence of the undergraduates. The result was analysed using descriptive analysis and inferential analysis, namely two-way ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation. Two-way ANOVA was used to test if there is significant difference in demographic attributes (gender and place of residence) towards maths achievements and trait emotional intelligence of the undergraduates. Pearson Correlation was used to test the relationship between trait emotional intelligence and mathematics achievements of the undergraduates. Generally, this study found that there is no significant difference for factors related to demographic attributes (gender and place of residence) against maths achievements and trait emotional intelligence of the undergraduates. Meanwhile, a relationship was found between trait emotional intelligence and mathematics achievements among undergraduates in higher learning institution in Sarawak. The outcome of the study appears to suggest that trait emotional intelligence can help undergraduates to understand themselves more and to control and manage their emotions and feelings and have better relationship with their surroundings. And this could positively impact on their maths achievements.Keywords: trait emotional intelligence, mathematics achivements, undergraduates
