Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) is a key determinant of sustainable economic growth more so in the developing
countries. This research investigates the influence of OTM and EEE on entrepreneurial orientation of polytechnic
students in Southwest Nigeria. Based on a mixed, data were obtained through structured questionnaire and in-depth
interviews involving 250 students and 50 lecturers drawn from selected polytechnics. Both descriptive and inferential
statistical techniques, such as regression analysis, were used to evaluate the influence of OTM and EEE curricula on
entrepreneurial competencies, innovation and business sustenance. It is found that there is a significant correlation
between practical skills' knowledge gain in OTM and EEE and students' readiness for entrepreneurship. Poor access
to funding, irrelevant curriculum, and poor industry–academic linkage were the challenges compounding the problem
of effective entrepreneurial training. The study suggests that changes in curriculum, industry interface and the policies
of the government will help promote is a more entrepreneurial orientation in technical education. These measures, if
implemented will prepare graduates for sustainable economic development in Nigeria.

Ishola N. A., Orenusi O. — Sun, 10 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This paper examined awareness, readiness and barriers to the adoption of cloud-based accounting
software by final-year Business Education students at the University of Lagos. A descriptive survey
kind of research was utilized wherein 67 students were sampled and a structured questionnaire
was used that had three sections; awareness about ten cloud based platforms, factors that affect
readiness and obstacles to adoption. Awareness was measured based on a binary scale (Aware or
Not Aware), whereas readiness and challenges were measured based on a four-point scale.
Analysis was done using percentages of awareness and mean standard deviation of readiness and
challenges. The results showed low awareness and majority of the platforms were found to have
low awareness of less than 35%. The moderately recommended readiness factors were
institutional support, internet connectivity and peer influence whereas challenge such as fear of
making mistakes, resistance to change and lack of training were strongly perceived. The
curriculum integration, institutional support, training workshops, and lower-stakes practice
environmental areas have been suggested as recommendations to improve digital competence and
employability.

TRANSFORMING BIOLOGY EDUCATION THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF ENGAGEMENT, PERSONALISATION AND ACCESSIBILITY

Sun, 10 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into science education has emerged as a
transformative force, offering new possibilities for student engagement, personalised learning,
and equitable access. This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional survey design to examine
the impact of AI-driven strategies in undergraduate biology education. A total of 120 students
participated in the study, responding to a structured questionnaire divided into three focus areas:
engagement, personalisation, and accessibility. The instrument demonstrated strong reliability
with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.82 following pilot testing. Findings revealed that AI tools such as
interactive videos and real-time feedback significantly enhanced student engagement, with AIgenerated videos receiving the highest mean score (4.47). Personalised learning, facilitated
through adaptive exercises, AI tutors, and customised feedback, also demonstrated moderate
effectiveness (average mean: 3.24), although some limitations were noted in the adaptability of AI
tools to individual learning paces. Accessibility emerged as a critical concern, with barriers such
as unreliable internet, limited device access, and inadequate support for learners with disabilities
influencing the overall effectiveness of AI deployment. Educational institutions should prioritise
investments in digital infrastructure, inclusive AI design, and technical support systems to
maximise the pedagogical benefits of AI in biology education. This study contributes to the
growing body of evidence on the practical implications of AI in education by offering a nuanced
understanding of how AI tools influence engagement, learning personalisation, and accessibility
in the biology classroom. It underscores the importance of aligning technological innovation with
institutional readiness and learner diversity

Sun, 10 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study investigated the effect of board game-based instruction on pupils' achievement in
Islamic Studies among public primary school pupils in Osun State, Nigeria. A pretest-posttest
control group quasi-experimental design was adopted. Using purposive sampling, 60 pupils were
selected from six public primary schools across Osun State and assigned to experimental and
control groups. Data were collected using the Islamic Studies Education Achievement Test
(ISEAT), a researcher-developed instrument with a reliability coefficient of 0.85, validated by
experts in Educational Technology and Islamic Studies. One research question and three
hypotheses were formulated and tested at a 0.05 level of significance. Data were analysed using
mean, standard deviation, and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Findings revealed that pupils
exposed to board game-based instruction achieved significantly higher scores in Islamic Studies
than their counterparts in the control group. It is therefore recommended that teachers of Islamic
Studies at the primary school level integrate board games into their instructional practice as a costeffective and engaging strategy for improving learning outcomes.

SOCIAL INFLUENCE, INSTITUTIONAL PROPRIETORSHIP, AND GENDER AS DETERMINANTS OF UNIVERSITY LECTURERS’ READINESS TO UTILIZE ICT FOR RESEARCH

Ishola N. A., Onyia S. — Sun, 10 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study examined the influence of social influence, institutional proprietorship, and gender on
university lecturers’ readiness to utilize Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for
research in Ogun State. A descriptive survey design was adopted, and data were collected from
368 lecturers across selected federal and state universities using a validated questionnaire.
Inferential statistics, including one-way ANOVA and independent samples t-test, were employed
to analyze differences based on proprietorship and gender. Findings revealed that social influence
plays a significant role in shaping ICT readiness, while institutional proprietorship and gender
did not significantly affect lecturers’ readiness. These results suggest that collaborative norms and
peer support are more critical than structural or demographic factors in promoting ICT adoption
for research. The study recommends fostering a supportive digital culture, improving
infrastructure, and implementing inclusive policies to enhance ICT integration in research
workflows

EFFECT OF SOCIAL CLUBBING ON STRESS MANAGEMENT AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS AMONG HUMAN KINETICS AND HEALTH EDUCATION STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS, NIGERIA

Adekunle Ayodele Olusola, Kehinde Rotimi Emmanuel , Bakare Kafayat Anuoluwapo — Sun, 10 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Unmanaged stress among university students remains a significant concern, particularly in highdemand academic environments characterised by overcrowded classrooms, limited faculty
support, and intense coursework. This study investigated the effect of social clubbing on stress
management and academic success among Human Kinetics and Health Education students at the
University of Lagos, Nigeria. A pre-test-post-test control group experimental design was adopted.
Eighty-four undergraduate students were purposively sampled from the Department of Human
Kinetics and Health Education. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), a validated 10-item instrument
developed by Cohen, Kamarck, and Mermelstein (1983), was used to measure stress levels before
and after an eight-week social clubbing intervention. Data were analysed using both descriptive
statistics, including means and standard deviations, and inferential statistics, specifically the paired
sample t-test, at a 0.05 level of significance. Results revealed that while post-test mean stress scores
(20.524) were numerically higher than pre-test scores (18.143), reflecting a mean difference of -
2.838, the calculated t-value (-0.054) did not exceed the critical t-value (2.086) at 20 degrees of
freedom. Consequently, the null hypothesis was not rejected, indicating that social clubbing
produced no statistically significant effect on stress management and academic success among the sampled students. The study concludes that social clubbing, as structured over an eight-week
period, may be insufficient as a standalone leisure intervention for stress reduction. Alternative
interventions including sports participation, mindfulness-based programmes, and creative arts
engagement are recommended for future investigation.
