Item Conceptualizing Curriculum and Development Theories for Sports Development In Nigeria(The Faculty of Education University of Port Harcourt, Port Harcourt, Nigeria, 2017-11) Adisa,O; Oyedeie,A.O.; Okundare A.A.Curriculum theory is a way of describing the educational philosophy of certain approaches to the development and enactment of curriculum. Within the broad field of curriculum studies, it is both a historical analysis of curriculum and a way of viewing current educational curriculum and policy decisions. Development theory, on the other hand, focuses on an assortment of alternative theories and on how societal changes can best be realized. As a result, a multitude of approaches form the basis of these development theories. It is the quest for desirable sport development due to poor performance of the nation's athletes in international meets, poor funding and management of sport, inaccessibility, affordability, usability and poor maintenance of sport and recreational facilities in Nigeria necessitated this expository article. The researchers looked at the existing propounded theories, relate it to sport development and as well as the workability of the theories in bringing about the desired sport development. The curriculum theories looked at those propounded by humanist (or mental disciplinarians), social efficiency, developmentalist (or child study), and social meliorists while the following development theories are also x-rayed upon. Based on the knowledge gained from the propounded theories the following recommendations were made for sport development in NigeriaItem Interscholastic sports participation among selected private secondary schools students in osogbo, Nigeria(The faculty of education university of port harcourt, port harcourt, nigeria., 2014) Adisa, O.; Oyedele, A.O.This study investigated interscholastic sports participation of selected private secondary school students in Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria. The study used simple random sampling technique to select 20 private secondary schools and 500 respondents while a self developed, structured and validated questionnaire with reliability index of 0.95 was used for data collection. The data were analyzed with both descriptive statistics of percentages and inferential statistics of Chi-square at 0.05 alpha level. The result showed that inadequate personnel, improper programming and lack of motivation are some of the factors militating against private secondary school students' participation in interscholastic sports in Osogbo. The results were discussed, conclusions drawn and recommendations that will assist in the proper implementation of interscholastic sports objectives among private secondary school students were also offeredItem Recreational sport as antidote for managing anti-social behaviour among the youths for sustainable national security in nigeria(Depatmentof physical and health education, osun-state college of eduction, ila-orangun, 2013) Oloyede, A.

Descriptive survey design was used for the study. The instrument for data collection was self developed and structured questionnaire in four- point likert scale format. Descriptive statistics of frequency count and percentages were used to describe the demographic data, while the parametric statistics oft-test and ANOVA set at 0.05 alpha level were used to test the hypotheses. A total number of one thousand, one hundred and sixty-five [1,165] Higher National Diploma [HND] students served as respondents for the study. Multistage sampling technique was used in three stages to select the respondents, namely: purposive sampling technique was used to select the schools; stratified sampling technique was used to select the Faculties and Departments, while proportionate sample of 25% was selected from each stratum. Three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The following were the values obtained: Difference in Attitude towards Pre-marital Genetic Screening [Crit-t = 1.96, Cal.t = 1.310, df = 1163, P > .05]; Difference in Attitude Due to Religion [F[2,1162] = .689, P > .05] and Difference in Attitude Due to Course of Study (F[5,1159] = .585, P > .05]. Conclusions were drawn based on the findings of the study. The study recommended, among other things that religious organizations should serve as useful channels to disseminate health information since people always have respect for places of worship and religious leaders.Item Relationship between inclusion of internship, diversification of physical education program and sport development in nigeria(2012-10) Omolawon, K. O.; Adisa, O.The gap between developed and underdeveloped countries has become so wide that the latter have lost any hope of closing it in terms of either sport performance or organization of big sports events. Problems of sport development in a developing and emerging nation like Nigeria has been linked to lack of proper manpower training. Physical education and sport management courses for long offer a good platform for manpower training of sport managers, unfortunately the pedagogical nature of physical education has dwarfed the scope of the course. The decline status of physical education is as a result of low level of awareness among Nigerians of the merits of physical education. This lack of knowledge has led to decline in the enrolment in physical education and recreation classes particularly in tertiary institutions. Comparison of some Nigerian universities physical education programmes with those in the developed countries reveals a great disparity. While the developed countries have diversified their physical education curriculum to pave way for the emergence of several sport related disciplines, in order to keep pace with the high level of sport development, Nigeria still sticks with curriculum cum programmes that was developed in the 1960s. Perhaps taking a global look on this issue by developing attractive and relevant sport programmes from the current physical education/human kinetics and inclusion of internship in addition to teaching practice will assist in developing Nigerian Sport to enviable height. Descriptive survey research design was used for this study. The sample consisted of 2003 participants selected from among physical education students (graduate and undergraduate), lecturers and sport practitioners through purposive and incidental sampling techniques. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 4 national sport commission development zones and 18 state sport councils spread across the selected zones. While stratified random sampling technique was used to group the 24 universities offering physical education programme into the 4 selected zones, simple random sampling technique was used to select at least 50% of the universities offering Physical Education programme in each of the selected zones. The instruments used for data collection were sport curriculum diversification scale (r=0.81), and sport development scale (r=0.79). Two research hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 alpha level. Data collected were analyzed using inferential statistics of multiple regression, and descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation. The findings reveal that inclusion of internship and improved subject status of physical education are significant to sport development; Internship (6=.055, P (.015) < 0.05), improve subject status (6=.099, P (.000) < 0.05. The result shows that the two predictor variables were independently significant. The study also revealed that development of new sport disciplines will contribute to sport development and improved status of physical education in Nigeria. It is recommended that to improve sport development in Nigeria there is need for development of new sport disciplines at the undergraduate level to attract more brilliant students into the field of sport management and to ensure provision of adequate qualify manpower for the nation's sport sector. It was also recommended that internship should be included in tandem with teaching practice exercise in the physical education curriculumItem Manpower training as indices of sport development in nigeria(2012) Omolawon, K. O.; Adisa, O.In our society sport fulfils important functions and is indeed indispensable. It offers opportunities for physical activity in a world where physical activity is increasingly diminishing; it promotes good health and well being (when pursued in moderation); and it provides a means of social contact and simple opportunity for economic experienced. Nigeria has made very significant impact in certain sport particularly soccer in which the country has done very well in the age group competitions. However, much of our successes at the international arena are due more to natural talents of our athletes rather than superior organization and training. Therefore, this study sought to investigate manpower training as indices of sport development in Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was used for this study. The sample consisted of two thousand and three (2003) participants selected through purposive and incidental sampling techniques. Simple random sampling technique was used to select four National Sport Commission (NSC) sport development zones and 18 states councils spread across the selected NSC sport development zones. While stratified random sampling technique was used to group the twenty-four (24) universities offering physical and health education programme into the four (4) selected sports development zones, simple random sampling technique was used to select at least 50% of the universities offering PHE programme in each of the selected zones. The instruments used were manpower training need scale (MATS) (r—08) and sport development scale (SDS) (r—0.79). Two research hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data collected were analyzed using inferential statistics of multiple regreK,ssion. The study revealed that joint effect of independent variable of manpower training on sport development yielded coefficient R2 = . 07). The F Manpower Training as Indices o f Sport... value (F2, 2000) = 107.868, P<.05) was found to be significant. The result indicates that there is need for high quality continuous guided training for personnel training in the country in which sport establishments and universities in Nigeria need to collaborate. It is recommended among others that one of the ways to improve the sport business environment in Nigeria is by establishing platform for continuous guided training for all sport personnel in Nigeria.Item Knowledge of pre-marital genetic screening among students of osun state polytechnics in nigeria(2011) Adetola, O.A; Adisa, O.; Akintola, O. A.This study investigated the inhibitors to recreational sport participation among academic staff in Osun State College of Education, Ua-Orangun, Nigeria. The population for the study consisted of all academic staff of Osun State College of Education, lla-Orangun out of which a total of 157 respondents were selected through purposive and maximum variation sampling technique from 5 schools that were randomly selected. Three hypotheses on the effect of participation in recreational sports on Health Status were tested, and all were found significant after subjecting them to chi-square analysis at 0.05 level of significance. Based on the findings of this study it was concluded that job demand, lack of motivation and erroneous belief are some of the inhibitors to recreational sport participation among academic staff in Osun State College of Education, Ua-Orangun. It was therefore recommended that the college management should carry out. a comprehensive auditing of the academic staff work load with the aim of reducing it. Keywords: Inhibitors, recreational sport, healthcare, academic staffItem Preparedness and containment of Ebola virus during football competitions in the southwestern, Nigeria(Department of Physical and Health Education, University of Maiduguri, Nigeria, 2018) Adlsa O.; Ayeni, A.A.; Oyedlran B. A.Objective: The Ebola virus disease, formerly called the Ebola haemorrhagic fever, was first identified in rural Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1976, where it killed 280 people. The disease had mostly been confined to relatively small outbreaks in rural settings, until the 2014 outbreak, which hit urban areas in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. Today, the African countries affected by the outbreak of Ebola in 2014 have been able to curtail it and have even come out strong out of its devastating effect. However, this disease has a tricky way of sneaking back, as it has demonstrated in the time past. So to what extent is our stadium equipped to screen, detect, prevent and contain Ebola spread during football competitions. This has been the major focus of this research Methods: Descriptive survey research design was used for the study. It was correlational type which explores the relationships that exists among variables on which predictions are made based on the relationships. A total of 75 (Seventy five) respondents were selected from among the Sport medical personnel, coaches, athletes, sport managers/administrators and sport journalist from each stadium to make a total of 150 (one hundred and fifty) respondents. A self-developed questionnaire which has reliability coefficient of 0.87 was used to collect data while the data were analysed using inferential statistics of chi-square at 0.05 level of significance. Results: The findings of the study reveal that the selected stadia lack surveillance and detection capabilities for Ebola and other infectious diseases. It was also discovered that many personnel working in and around the stadia, athletes and spectators lack adequate knowledge about Ebola. The health facilities in around the complex too did not have functional diagnostic and containment capabilities for Ebola. Conclusions: It was concluded among others that adequate laboratory service and active surveillance capacity for Ebola detection during football competition should always be made available by the authority concern.Item Negativity of muscle drain in African sport development(2014) Adisa O.Item Underdevelopment of sport in Nigeria: A need for physical education curriculum diversification(2010) Adisa O.This paper focuses on the need for physical education curriculum diversification in order to achieve sustainable sport development in Nigeria. It compares level of sport development in Nigeria with other countries with the aim of bringing to limelight the reason why there is disparity. The paper also considered need for physical education curriculum diversification having compare physical education curriculum across many countries. It was concluded in the paper that education is a dynamic phenomenon that must recognize the changes in the environment and respond to the growing demands and challenges. Physical education is a large system and it is almost impossible to predict its behaviour over far too distant future since the system parameters show a high rate of change. In today's scenario, the sport business is changing so rapidly that other sport disciplines are fast appearing on the surface. Mobility of sport professionals across the national boundaries has changed the demand - supply perspective and this may eventually force the educational planners to take a global view. Physical education programs in Nigerian higher institutions are based in the school of education. This practice has dwarfed the scope of these programs and has made them unpopular. Because Nigerian teachers are so poorly paid, most young people do not choose teaching as a profession. Physical education programs, particularly teachers of physical education and recreation, sport coaches, administrators, technologists, journalists, trainers and consultants must receive proper training. An urgent need exists to develop programs outside the colleges of education that meet the needs of physical education students who do not want to become teachers
