[14 21]talent hunt of diverse workforce can be achieved

This study examined the influence of pre-service teachers’ subject specialization on their skills for improvisation and management of resources using survey research of expost-facto type. The sample comprised 150 N.C.E pre-service teachers randomly selected from 50 secondary schools in Oyo State. The instruments used were Questionnaire on Assessing Pre-service Teachers’: Skills of Improvisation (r = 0.73); Management of Resources (r = 0.70). Two research questions were raised. The data collected were analyzed using mean, ANOVA and t-test. The result showed that subject specialization had no influence on pre-service teachers’ skills for improvisation and management of resources (F=0.953; P>.05; F=2.536; P>.05).These findings have significant implications for Science teachers and curriculum planners.

Modular approach in teaching has been a buzzword in our educational system. This paper ascertained the effectiveness of Modular Teaching Approach in teaching Grade 10 Science at Maximino Noel Memorial National High School. Quasi experimental and Purposive sampling was utilized. Data were collected through pre test and post test using the learning module in Science 10 prescribed by the Department of Education. Data obtain using frequency count, percentage, mean and standard deviation and t test for the significant difference. Results revealed that the performance of the Grade 10 students during the pre test in the following competencies describing the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts distinguishing the different types of plate boundaries and explaining the different processes that occur along the plate boundaries, was described as Beginning. However, after using the Modular Teaching Approach, the post test performance of the students on the aforementioned competencies increased significantly and was described as Proficient. This indicated that the approach evidently showed positive results and displayed a vital connection in increasing studentsâ€™ academic achievement. Thus, enhanced learning module was proposed as instructional intervention in improving studentsâ€™ performance in Science 10. Marsha R.

This study assessed the effect of ethnoscience and collaborative strategies on Basic Science students on academic performance of in Jalingo education zone of Taraba Statte. Three research questions and hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The quasi experimental research was adopted. The population of the study was 2,828 Upper Basic level students of public schools. The sample was 80 students, consists of male 38 female 42 selected through a random sampling technique to form two intact classes. Ethnoscience Measurement Performance Test EMEPT was used for the collection of data. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the three research questions, while the three hypotheses were tested with ANOVA and t test statistic tool. The research revealed that there was significant difference between students exposed to ethnoscience strategy and those who were taught using collaboration strategy. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that the use of ethnoscience strategy should be encourage at upper basic, hence it enhanced better performance. ethnoscience strategy is gender friendly, it should be encouraged among Males and Females students at upper basic level.
