- "The challenges of ever-increasing demand for university education in the face of inadequate human and infrastructural resources and rapidly increasing population have necessitated distance learning programmes. This study evaluated Universities of Ibadan and Lagos Distance Learning Programmes. Samples of 200 participants (100 graduates. and 100 employers) were purposively selected. Two research questions guided the research. Two validated instruments with reliability coefficients of 0.82 and O.86 respectively, were used to collect data. Data were analysed using chi square and independent t-test. Findings revealed that graduates of UIDLC performed significantly better than their ULDLI counterparts, in terms of class of degree obtained: a chi-square value of (1632.18) which is significant at 0.05, (p < 0.05). This shows that there is a statistical significant difference in the performance of UIDLC distance learning education graduates and their ULDLI counterparts and it is to the advantage of UIDLC . In addition, graduates of both programmes were making similar positive impact in their work environment as the difference in their job performance is not statistically significant. The two distance learning institutions strove to achieve the objectives of providing quality education through distance learning mode of instruction in educating distance learners to enhance learner's productivity.Recommendations made were: the two institutions must aim at improving teachinglearning resources, learner-support services and establishing human resource development centres to aid develop strong and holistic human resources in order to improve quality of their graduates and also position distance education in Nigeria for international recognition." 1 results 1

- Adolescence is a distinct stage of life that has attracted the attention of researchers globally. In 1904, Hall presented the idea of adolescence as a period of storm and stress. Sequel to this idea, increased empirical data caused this notion to stagger. However, the internalizing and extemalizing problem behaviours of adolescence indicate that this idea cannot just be discarded in the tight of modem psychology. Stress, which is the physical, mental and emotional human response to a particular stimulus, can arise In adolescents with reading disabilities as a result of hormonal changes of adolescence and the increased demands of school. Stress can actually exacerbate signs of learning disabilities that adolescents were able to manage or mask when they were younger. Some adolescents encounter problems with decoding, fluency and comprehension. Others may exhibit motivational issues, behaviour concerns and self-concept problems that may result in dropping out of school. This present paper therefore recognized and described the storm and stress of adolescents with reading disabilities. Teaching and parental role implications of the present concept were discussed. In the same vein, strategies for fostering reading skills of adolescents with reading disabilities at word recognition level, language comprehension and the use of self-regulatory and executive processes were discussed. Above all, it was emphasized that for adolescents with reading disabilities to become competent readers, teachers should provide a balanced reading instruction by ensuring that instruction is explicit, scaffolded and sequenced. Parents should support, encourage and assist adolescents' reading development by acting as teachers, showing parental love and care, encouraging uptake of challenges and participating in in-school programmes 1 results 1
- Affirming that French Language is unavoidably important and indispensable in Nigeria is not an overstatement. Nigeria is a giant of Africa and in view of the roles she plays in the international politics in Africa, she needs French language more than any other essential resources one may think of. . This assertion is quiet sound because of the great number of Francophone countries that surround Nigeria and the diplomatic and economic ties between Nigeria and the neighbouring French speaking countries. The decline in the study of French language in Nigeria has been a major concern to the stakeholders in the field of French language education. Many researchers in this field have made frantic efforts to unravel the misery behind the slow pace of development in the study of French in Nigeria. Ogike (2005) opines that the problem that has bedeviled the teaching of French language after the political independence is beyond the control of the Nigerian French teachers. These factors responsible for this decline are multifaceted. This paper discusses the concept of language teaching methodology as an excruciating phenomenon in the success in language learning. Methodology of language learning cannot be under estimated while discussing the issue of foreign language education. In addition, the paper discusses the learners learning strategies in foreign language learning situation. Finally, the concept of motivation towards language learning would be considered in the light of the teachers' motivational skills. 1 results 1

- Assistive Technology (ATs) provide means through which persons with visual impairment are empowered with adaptive devices and methods for accessing multimedia information. However, the degree of sensitivity and specificity values for access to electronic resources by visual impaired persons varies. Existing ATs were designed as “one model fits all” (static calibration requirements), thereby limiting the usability by vision impaired users in an e-learning environment. The study presents a Dynamic Thresholding Model (DTM) that adaptively adjusts the vision parameters to meet the calibration requirements of vision impaired users. Data from International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems of World Health Organisation (WHO) containing 1001 instances of visual impairment measures were obtained from 2008 to 2013. The users’ vision parameters of WHO for Visual Acuity Range (VAR) were adopted. These were: VAR ≥ 0.3(299); 0.1 < VAR < 0.3(182); 0.07 ≤ VAR < 0.1(364); 0.05 ≤ VAR < 0.07(120); 0.02 ≤ VAR < 0.05(24); and VAR < 0.02(12). Data for six VAR groups were partitioned into 70% (700) and 30% (301) for training and testing, respectively. Data for the six groups were transformed into 3-bits encoding to facilitate model derivation. The DTM was developed with calibrator parameters (Visual Acuity (Va), Print Size (Ps) and Reading Rate (Rr)) for low acuity, adaptive vision calibrator and dynamic thresholding. The VAR from the developed DTM was used to predict the optimal operating range and accuracy value on observed WHO dataset irrespective of the grouping. Six-epochs were conducted for each thresholding value to determine the sensitivity and specificity values relative to the False Negative Rate (FNR) and False Positive Rate (FPR), respectively, which are evidences of misclassification. The 3-bit encoding coupled with the DTM yielded optimised equations of the form: .1718.172436.14985.834508.07474.19383.128042.5730703.5976073.4631RrPsVaOPRrVaPsOPRrVaPsOP Where OP1, OP2 and OP3 represent the first, second and third bit, respectively. Five local maxima accuracy and one global maximum threshold values were obtained from the DTM. Local maxima threshold values were 0.455, 0.470, 0.515, 0.530, and 0.580, with corresponding percentage accuracy of 99.257, 99.343, 99.171, 99.229, and 99.429. Global maximum accuracy was 99.6 at threshold value of 0.5. The Va, Ps, and Rr produced equal numbers of observations (301) agreeing with the result in WHO report. Correctly classified user impairment was 99.89%, with error rate of 0.11%. The model predicted sensitivity value of 99.79% (0.21 FNR), and specificity value of 99.52% (0.48 FPR). The developed dynamic thresholding model adaptively classified various degrees of visual impairment for vision impaired users. 1 results 1

- By all standards, Nigeria is a multilingual and Multicultural state parading more than five hundred indigenous languages existing alongside English language as an official language and French language as the defacto second official language. Choosing a national language among the existing indigenous languages has become a complicated issue and a subject of controversy among the diverse ethnic groups and stakeholders in the political landscape of Nigeria due to multiplicity and plurality of languages in Nigeria. One cannot underestimate the significant value of languages in the socio- economic development of a nation. Thus, this necessitated the formulation of language policy religiously entrenched in the National Policy on Education. Though the language policy is quite laudable favouring the promotion of the indigenous languages and French language as a language of diplomacy and international relation, proper implementation of the policy provisions and most especially the teaching and learning of French language in a multicultural and multilingual country like Nigeria still suffers tremendous setback. However, this paper looked critically at the major constraints to the implementation of the language policy provisions as stated in the National Policy on Education having in focus the advantages inherent in the multilingualism and multiculturalism to promoting peaceful co-existence and socio-economic development in Nigeria. It was however recommended that government should endeavour to match policy formulation with policy implementation. 1 results 1
- Classroom Interaction behaviours at the pre-primary level of education especially in Nigeria is still a relatively new concept. Thus, there seem to be no instrument to measure the nature as well as quality of such activities between teachers and learners during instruction. These could be partly the reasons why there is dearth of information on this aspect of preschool activities in Nigeria. The foregoing therefore, underscores the need to develop and validate an instrument (PCIE1) which has the capacity to provide information on typical expected teachers -learner interaction patterns at the pre-primary level of education especially in Nigeria. The instrument was used in three states to observe 36 lessons delivered by 36 teachers in 12 preschool classrooms during instructional delivery in three subject areas (Numeracy, Introduction to letters of the alphabet and Science). 1528 preschoolers were involved in the study. Four research questions were answered using the instrument. Cronbach’s Alpha and Scott's Pie were used to establish the validity and reliability estimate of the instrument (0.85 and .93 respectively). The internal consistency of the items (Cronbach’s Alpha) ranged from .848 to .854 respectively. The classroom interaction behaviours identified include Teacher Prompting Learning Activity, Pupil whole-class Activity, Individual Pupil Activity, Monologue, Teacher not facilitating learning. Confusion. These characteristics were considered very important in producing valid, comparable and generalizable preschool interaction patterns in Nigerian. This is because, the items used are acceptable classroom behaviours which of teachers and learners are expected to exhibit at this level for quality teaching-learning activities to occur 1 results 1
