Item Perception of External Control, Effort Expectancy and Use of Electronic Information Resources by Undergraduates in Selected Universities in Nigeria.(University Libraries of the University of Nebraska--Lincoln, 2023) Odelami, B.; Folorunso, O. O.; Igbinovia, M. O.The study examined the relationship between external control, effort expectancy and use of EIRs among undergraduates in two selected universities in Oyo State, Nigeria. The survey research design of correlational type was adopted for this study across undergraduates in Ajayi Crowther University (N=1,619) and Lead City University (N=2,046), with a total population of 3,665. The study found that both independent variables of external control and effort expectancy had individual significant relationship with undergraduates’ use of EIRs. Also, there was a significant positive relationship between perception of external control and effort expectancy in the use of EIRs. Both independent variables when taken together significantly influence use of EIRs among the undergraduates. The study concludes that the level of EIRs use in the universities understudied will be a function of available control or facilitating condition and the ease in using these resources. Recommendations for the study were made according.Item Availability and Utilisation of Library-based Online Resources for Learning Activities by Undergraduates of University of Ibadan, Nigeria(University of Ibadan, 2019) Folorunso, O. O.; Ohwofasa, F.Library-based online resources are important due to their enormous benefits to students and university libraries. In particular, they offer students the opportunity to access current and relevant information from different subject areas. The purpose of this study was to investigate the availability and use of these resources for learning activities by undergraduates of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study and the population consisted of 12,173 full-time undergraduates. Stratified, proportionate, random sampling techniques were used, with a sampling fraction of 2.5%, to obtain a sample size of 303 students. The data collection instrument was the questionnaire titled “Availability and Utilization of Library-Based Online Resources For Learning Activities By Undergraduates (AULORLAU)” and data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics consisting of frequency, tables and percentages for the research questions, while Pearson Moment Correlation was used to analyse the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that electronic journals were the most available (mean=2.9) and frequently (mean=3.3) used Library based online resources among the undergraduates and ‘assignment’ was the main purpose for which they used these resources, while poor internet connectivity was their greatest challenge. There was significant relationship between availability of the resources and their utilization by the students (r=0.197; p<.05). Library-based online resources enhanced students’ learning in all academic disciplines, as the resources provided lecturers and students alike with vast quantities of information in an easily accessible non-sequential format. The study therefore recommended, among others, that university administrators and library management should make efforts to improve on bandwidth and enhance connectivity within the library premises so as to enable students have easy access to the Internet.Item Influence of Library Environment and User Education on Undergraduates’ Use of Library at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria(Scientific Research, 2016) Folorunso, O. O.; Njoku, E.The study investigated the influence of library environment and user education on undergraduates’ use of the University central library at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria.The study adopted the survey research design and the population consisted of 18,034 regular undergraduates in ten faculties from which a sample size of 360 respondents was selected using the proportionate, random sampling technique. The research instrument used for data collection was a self-developed questionnaire while data was analysed using frequency distribution, percentages, mean and standard deviation together with regression and correlation analysis.The finding of the study revealed that library environment at the University of Ibadan was characterised by good library building (mean=3.75), seating arrangement (mean=3.59), availability of information resources (mean=3.54), and fair electricity supply while there was poor Internet connectivity and Wi-Fi within and outside the library (mean=2.39). Methods of delivering user education were library orientation for new students (64.3%) and use of library course (53.4%) with guided library tour. Most undergraduates used the library daily or weekly in order to study and read for examinations. However, inadequate technological facilities to use for electronic sources (mean=2.65), and poor network/internet connectivity to access electronic databases were some of the major challenges of using the University library. study found a significant relationship between the independent variables (library environment and user education) and the dependent variable (use of library) (r = .342, N= 322, P < .01); while both library environment and user education jointly and independently contributed to the use of library among the undergraduates. programmes given more priority in the University library in order to sensitise more students and draw their attention to the available resources and services while the environment of the University library (both 289internal and external) should be made more conducive to always attract the users to the library.Item Social media Use as correlate of reading habits among undergraduates in University of Ibadan, Nigeria(2021) Olaojo, P. O.; Adetoba, M. O.Social media comprises of websites and applications that enable users to create and share contents or to participate in social networking. Results showed different types of social media. However, it is discovered that majority of undergraduates devote more time to use social media for different activities like chatting, social activities and reading. This study employed descriptive survey research design targeting undergraduates of University of Ibadan in the 2018 / 2019 session which equalled 14,778. Multistage sampling technique with a 10% was used to select 247 undergraduates across six faculties. The questionnaire was the main data collection instrument and data analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage and correlation analysis. The Statistical package for social Sciences (SPSS) was the Software used for data analysis. The findings of the study, amongst others revealed that respondents used Facebook most (92.7%) and Instagram (78.1%) has the least. The findings showed that respondents used social media mostly to chat with friends (94.3%) and share information (87.4%). On frequency of use, the study revealed that Facebook (x =4.00), and Wikipedia (x =3.26) were frequently used by respondents. Findings also revealed that there was a positive relationship between social media use and reading habits of undergraduates in University of Ibadan (r = .200, n= 247, p (002)<05) The study concludes that social media should be prudently utilised, not only as a means of communication stay among family and friends but must be used reasonably as a rich educational tool. The study recommended that; efforts should be geared by the Institution authorities towards creating enabling environment for reading, as these will enhance development of reading habit and strengthens academic pursuit of students.Item Socio-economic status and use of social media by undergraduates in Redeemer’s University, Osun State, Nigeria(Department of Library, Archival and Information Studies University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2020-12) Olaojo, P. O.; Oyeboade, J. A.There is a mass appeal of social media on the Internet in recent times. Perhaps, this is due to the gradually increasing amount of time that undergraduate students spend on the Internet to the detriment of their studies. The study, therefore, investigated socioeconomic Status and use of social media by undergraduates in Redeemer's University, Osun State, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design of the correlational type. Data were collected from 121 undergraduates of the Redeemer's University with the use of a structured questionnaire with Cronbach alpha [a = 0.78J. Data analysis was done using frequency count and percentage distribution to answer the research question 1-3 white the Pearson's Correlation Coefficient at 0.05 level of significance was used to answer the research question 4. The main social media use by the undergraduates includes Facebook (100.0%), WhatsApp (86.8%), Ebuddy and (82.6%). Socio-economic Status of affluence for undergraduates' use of social media include: dignifying parental occupation, parental educational qualification, and steady monthly allowance. The students used social media for chatting (71.9%), checking through wall/news (76.9%), sharing Information, files, photos, and documents (100.0%). Socio-economic Status has significant relationship with use of social media (r = .816”; df = 120; p <0.05). The undergraduates use different types of social media for leisure, entertainment and knowledge sharing. It was, therefore, recommended that university authorities should seek to appreciate the use of social media for academic purposes; researchers should focus more on studies of social media use in education, and so on.Item Online dating behaviours: an emerging reproductive health issues among undergraduates in Anambra State, Nigeria(2015) Ofole, N. M.This study examined the extent to which personality-type, self-esteem, parental socio-economic status and social network utilization predict online dating behaviours among university undergraduates in Anambra state. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to draw 1,007 respondents (Female=708; Male=299) with age range of 18 to 28 years (x = 17.08; SD= 6.01) from an estimated population of 10, 244 undergraduates in Anambra state universities. Four standardized scales and one researcher developed instrument were utilized. Results of Pearson Product Moment Correlation show that the hypothesized variables have significant positive relationship ranging from .86 to .36 at 0.05 level of significance (2-tailed). Regression Analysis indicates that the independent variables jointly accounted for 84% of the variance in the prediction of online dating behaviours of the respondents. However, parental socio-economic-status made the highest contribution (fi=.368; p< 0.05). The outcome suggests that dispositional and socioeconomic factors correlate with online dating behaviours of the respondents. Counsellors should leverage programme designers to ensure that techniques of identifying users’ profiles especially their personality traits are incorporated into web to enable potential online dates have compatible partners for meaningful and satisfying relationship.Item Psycho-sociological variables predicting cultic behaviour among undergraduates in South-West, Nigeria(Positive Psychology Association, Nigeria with headquarters in Department of Guidance and Counselling University of ibadan, Nigeria., 2018) Olukoya, R.; Animasahun, R.; Oluwole, A.; Busari, O.; Adeyemi, A. O.The incidence of cultic behaviour such as murder violence is becoming increasing in Nigerian tertiary institutions. The menace of this behaviour remains indelible in the minds of the victims and members of the society at large. In fact it has posed serious problems to parents, guardians, educators and management of tertiary institutions at large. This study therefore investigated psycho-sociological variables in predicting cultic behaviour among undergraduates in South-West Nigeria. The descriptive research design of the correlational type was adopted. The sample consisted of 1,200 participants from three federal and three State Universities. Data was collected and analysed using Multiple Regression and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy, aggression, drug abuse, parental influence, peer influence, anger and self-esteem and cultic behaviour among undergraduates in South-West Nigeria. However, gender, age and self-concept were not significantly correlated with cultic behaviour of undergraduates in South-West Nigeria. Recommendations were made that all stakeholders should be watchful and make concerted efforts to nip the manifestation of the behaviour on the bud to curb the menace of this behaviour in the tertiary institutions.Item In our match towards scientific and technological advancement, we need nothing short of good performance in mathematics at all levels of schooling. In an effort to achieve this, this study investigated the impact of motivation on students’ school academic achievement in mathematics in secondary schools using motivation for academic preference scale (α = 0.82) as a measuring instrument and achievement test in mathematics (ATM) Two hypotheses were tested for significant at 0.05 margin of error using t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) Results showed that gender difference were significant when impact of motivation on academic achievement was compared in male and female students. Also other result indicates significant difference when extent of motivation was taken as variable of interest on academic achievement in mathematics based on the degree of their motivation. Implications, suggestions and recommendations on students, parents, government, counsellors, educational stakeholders, etc were discussed.(MOMENT Kazim Karabekir Cad., Ankara-Turkey, 2007-04) Akinsola, M. K.; Tella, A.; Tella, A.Procrastination is now a common phenomenon among students particularly those at the higher level. And this is doing more harm to their academic achievement than good. Therefore, this study examined the correlates between academic procrastination and mathematics achievement among the university mathematics undergraduate students. The study used a total sample of 150 part 3 and 4 students in the department of mathematics and mathematics education students in the university of Ibadan and university of Lagos, Nigeria. The 35 items academic procrastination scale developed and validated by Tuckman (1991) was used for the collection of data, in conjunction with the subjects GPA scores till date in mathematics. Findings indicates that: a significant correlation was found in the academic procrastination and academic achievement of the subjects in mathematics, significant difference also exists in the levels of procrastination and mathematics achievement of the subjects, with low procrastinators performing better than the moderate and the high procrastinators. Results further reveals the subjects procrastinate the same way irrespective of their gender. Implications of procrastination on academic achievement of students at all levels generally and some effective ways of remediation of procrastination were suggested.Item Emergency remote teaching during covid-19 pandemic and undergraduates’ learning effectiveness at the university of Ibadan, Nigeria(2022-12) Muibi, T. G.; Akinyemi, A. L.The study investigated the influence of Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) components (Zoom, Google Meet, Telegram forum, and LMS) on undergraduates’ learning effectiveness at the University of Ibadan. The descriptive survey research design was adopted and the population comprised 100 to 400 level students - with a sample size of 200 students who were randomly selected from the Faculties of Arts, Education and the Social Sciences. A 30- item questionnaire titled “Influence of ERT on Students’ Learning Effectiveness (IERTSLE)” was developed and validated by experts, and its reliability coefficient was 0.81 with the use of Cronbach alpha. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics of frequency counts, simple percentages, analysis of variance (ANOVA), mean and standard deviation analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that the ERT components (Zoom, Google Meet, Telegram Forum, and LMS) significantly influenced students’ Learning Effectiveness (F (4, 174) = 6.512; R2 = 0.13), and jointly accounted for 11.0% of its variance. Based on these findings, it was recommended that the Management of the University of Ibadan embark on full integration of online educational platforms to cater to both lecturers’ and students’ progressive skills and technical knowledge acquisition to help sustain them for the 21st century digital teaching and learning procedures. The study recommended that seminars, workshops, and other relevant programmes should be put in place to help improve students’ and lecturers’ adaptation to ERT teaching and learning in the institution.Item Nature of HIV/AIDS information shared on social media sites by undergraduate students in Southwestern Nigeria(Centre for Promoting Knowledge (CPK), UK, 2017-10) Alonge, A. J.; Ndati, N.; Kiai, W.In the past 5 years, there has been a phenomenal increase in the use of social media for health information communication, despite this, not much study has looked at the type of HIV/AIDS information shared on social media platform. The study therefore assessed the nature of HIV/AIDS information shared on social media sites by undergraduate students in southwestern Nigeria. Structured questionnaire copies were administered to 355 undergraduate students in Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), University of Lagos (Unilag) and University of Ibadan (UI). Data gathered from the administered questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result showed that 71.3% of the students across the selected universities were aware of social media and made used of it. Facebook was the most favourite social media platform followed by Instagram and WhatsApp, while Kinschat, Linkedln, Skype and BBM were least preferred social media sites. Independent samples test result showed there was no significant gender difference in the preference of social media sites (t = 1.039, p>0.05). The result showed that 81.4% of the students had come across HIV/AIDS information on social media, while only 24.8% had shared HIV/AIDS information on social media. Prevention methods and general HIV/AIDS knowledge were the main types of information shared. ANOVA result further revealed significant variation in the type of HIV/AIDS information shared on social media among the three universities (F = 5.177; p<0.05). The Post Hoc Test of multiple comparison indicated that type of HIV/AIDS information shared in UI differed significantly from those shared in OAU and UNILAG respectively.
