- Construction work and industry, although highly important to Nigeria’s developmental processes, is characterised by high level of risks occurrence and hazards. The trend is exacerbated by the insecure manner in which the construction workers are recruited, placed and managed as well as non-enforcement of existing safety laws in the sector. This raises concern about the type of safety training provided in the industry and the instructional method used in imparting such safety trainings. Previous studies have focused largely on the causes, prevention, control, safety legislations and provision of safety trainings with little emphasis on safety training instructional methods. This study, therefore, determined the effects of syndicate (STM) and guided-practice (GpTM) training methods on occupational health and safety competencies (OHSC) of workers in the construction industry in Oyo State, Nigeria. The moderating effects of employees’ literacy level and employment status were also examined. This study was anchored on multiple cause and social learning theories while the pretest-posttest, control group quasi experimental design with a 3x3x2 factorial matrix was adopted. Purposive sampling technique was employed in selecting three reputable construction organisations in Oyo State. The workers in the three organisations who met the study’s inclusion criteria were randomised into STM, (12), GpTM (11) and Lecture method (12) (Control) groups while treatment lasted six weeks. Construction Industry Occupational Health and Safety Competencies Questionnaire (r=0.85), training guides for STM, GpTM and lecture method were used for data collection. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Analysis of covariance and Scheffe post-hoc test at 0.05 level of significance. Participants were male (80.0%) and female (20.0%) with a mean age of 34 years; 54.3% and 45.7% were on permanent and temporary employments respectively. Their levels of literacy status were: low (37.1%), medium (34.3%) and high (28.6%). There was a significant main effect of treatment on workers’ OHSC (F (2, 17) = 22.28, partial η^2= .72). Participants exposed to STM obtained the highest posttest OHSC mean ( = 175.42) followed by those in GpTM ( = 111.00) and control ( = 82.58) groups. There were no significant main effects of literacy level and employment status on OHSC. There was a significant two-way interaction effect of treatments and literacy on OHSC (F (4, 17) = 3.18, partial η^2= .43) but the two-way interaction effects of treatment and employment status, and employment status and literacy level were not significant. Also, three-way interaction effect of treatment, literacy level and employment status on OHSC was not significant. Syndicate and guided-practice training methods were effective in enhancing the occupational health and safety competencies of construction workers regardless of their literacy level and employment status. Both training methods should, therefore, be employed regularly in safety trainings to achieve improved occupational health and safety competencies in the Nigerian construction industry. 2 results 2

- "Learned helplessness, a well established principle in Psychology is a cognitive state of an individual that makes' him/her believes that nothing he does can change his/her situation. Owing to the absence of a direct psychometric based measure of learned helplessness, this study developed a scale to measure the construct and assess individual's tendency to develop learned helplessness using 500 randomly selected participants. This is a 6-item self-report scale in the Likert format and with 5-point response options ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5). The scale yielded a Cronbach Alpha of 0.69, Spearman-Brown Coefficient of 0.66 and Guttman Split-Half Reliability Coefficient of 0.65. Factor analysis using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed that all the items loaded as one factor with eigenvalue of 2.37. From the findings, it was concluded. that this scale is useful in measuring the cognitive tendency of individuals to develop learned helplessness in a general population. " 1 results 1
- A copious amount of studies have been done on ways to improve the teaching of economics in high school, but little in the area of bringing in experiential learning into the economics classroom. The researchers attempted this study to examine the effects of two forms of experiential pedagogy and learning style on students' achievement in economics. Six intact SSS2 economics classes were randomly selected from two randomly chosen local government areas of Ogun State. Three hundred and twenty-five SSS students participated in the study. A pre-test, posttest, control group design with a 3x4 factorial matrix was used for the study. The instrument used was an Economics Achievement Test (EAT); constructed and validated by the researchers using IRT methods (ER 0.87) along with the Kolb Learning Style Inventory (KLSI) version 3.1 (2005) (r= 0.77) to obtain data. Three null hypotheses were tested at 0.005 significance level. Analysis of data was done with ANCOVA. The result revealed a significant main effect of treatment (Experience Debriefing, Experience Dictation and Control) (F (2.300) = 186.699, p < 0.05 (0.000), partial ղ=. 554) on students' achievement in economics. To assess where the observed significance lies, bonferonni pair-wise comparison was conducted. The outcome showed that experience debriefing fostered students' achievement in economics most, followed by experience dictation, then control. The result also revealed no significant main effect of learning style on achievement in economics (F (3.300) = 0.943, p>0.05(0.420), partial ղ=.009). In addition, the study revealed no significant interaction effect of teaching method and learning style on students' achievement, (F(6300) = 1.245, p>0.05(0.283)).The researchers concluded that experiential learning approaches are effective and recommend that high school economics teachers should embrace this technique. In addition, they should note the diverse learning needs of students, and use it to plan their lessons. 1 results 1
- Abstract Yoruba language essay writings have attracted the interest of linguists and language educators, as observations reveal that construction of meaningful expression has become a challenge among secondary school students in recent times. Ongoing research attention has consequently been focused on a myriad of factors that could possibly explain students ’ achievement. This research, therefore, investigated environmental and personality factors as correlates of students ’ achievement in Yoruba essay writing in Oyo State. The study used survey research type of ex-post facto design; where three hundred (300) students were drawn through a multi-stage sampling procedure, from three educational zones in Oyo State. Three instruments were used to gather information: Environmental Factors Questionnaire (r=0.75); Personality Factors Questionnaires (r=0.80); and Yoruba Language Essay Writing Achievement Test (YLEWAT) (r=0.86). The data obtained were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple regression analysis. Results of the study showed that a relationship exists between environmental variables (physical environment and classroom environment) and students’ achievement in essay writing (r=0.482, p<0.05; and r = 0.218, p<0.05, respectively). Also, all the personality variables were significantly related to achievement in Yoruba essay writing ((.r=0.140, p < 0.05); (r=0.136, p < 0.05); (r=0.144, p < 0.05) for attitude, self-efficacy and gender respectively). Furthermore, all the variables jointly explained 27.3 of the variance observed in students' achievement in Yoruba essay writing. And only the environmental variables contributed to the prediction of students ’ achievement in Yoruba essay writing β = 0.433; t = 8.172; p<0.05 and β = 0.123; t = 2.300; p<0.05, respectively for physical and classroom environments). The study recommended, among other things, that School administrators, government and parents should provide an enabling environment for the students to motivate them for learning 1 results 1

- As important as attitude scales are in the teaching and learning domain, scales on affective traits are relatively limited especially those developed by using IRT based models. This study developed and validated an instrument-the Students Attitude to Economics Scale (SATES), using the IRT model. At the initial exploratory stage, data obtained from a sample of973 high school economics students were subjected to parallel and full information item factor analyses with multidimensional graded response model. This was based on the number of dimensions identified under parallel analysis to identify the interpretable factors underlying the scale. A total of 14 items of the initial 55 constructed items emerged with four factors named; difficulty of economics, performance in economics, benefits of economics and pedagogy of economics. To assess the construct validity of the SATES, the differential functioning of the items on the scale, with respect to the sex of the respondents, were assessed. The results showed that all the 14 items had insignificant chi-square value (p > 0.05). Meaning that all the 14 items that survived item analysis functioned similarly among males and females, hence were valid items. To estimate the reliability of the 14-item SATES, the responses of the testees to the 14 items were subjected to empirical reliability analysis, an IRT based reliability estimate. The outcome revealed a reliability estimate of 0.75, 0.73, 0.84, and 0.79 for each of the four factors respectively, hence 0.78 for the SATES. To cross-validate the 14-item SATES, it was administered to another sample of 1,274 high school economics students, and the invariance of the scale was assessed. To achieve this, response was subjected to multiple group multidimensional item response theory analyses. This provided evidence of the construct validity of the instrument, indicating that the instrument is a valid and reliable tool for measuring senior secondary school students' attitude towards economics. 1 results 1

- Background: In the growing need of microvascular surgery in modern-day plastic surgery, financial burden on surgeon or institution can discourage acquisition of skill particularly in the initial phase of laboratory simulation. This article describes the construction of a cheap, easy-to-make blood vessel model. Materials and method: The model was made using infusion giving set, latex glove, scissors, tape measure and Swan glue CD 308. A cut sheet from the latex glove was rolled twice over two glue- painted segment of the infusion giving set stent. The stents were gently pulled out, turning the sheet into a conduit. The blood vessel model was then allowed to dry. Discussion: The use of latex glove for initial training in microvascular anastomosis has been for long. Previously described productions into a conduit are cumbersome. This model is easy to construct and is useful in an office or dry laboratory setting. Conclusion: The latex glove blood vessel model described in this article is a useful material in the training of budding microsurgeons. Residents in our institution have reported a very good learning experience with its use. 1 results 1
