Given its innovative nature, there seems to be a paucity of the instructional framework to guide teachers to implement it in the classroom. Therefore, this study focused on the development and evaluation of innovative instructional module for biology instruction among secondary school students. In the first phase, the instructional module was developed based on Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation (ADDIE) model and the framework for integrated STEM instruction. Ten (10) experts in science education validated the innovative module called integrated STEM instructional module (i-STEMim) in a two-round validation process. In the second phase, quasi-experimental design was adopted to determine the effects of the prepared i-STEMim. Using simple randomly sampling, two secondary schools were assigned to the i-STEMim and conventional group. To determine the effect of developed instructional material, quasi-experimental design was used. The i-STEMim group was 30 students while the traditional were 32 students. Pre-test and post-test data were collected using biology achievement test. The data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation, dependent t-test and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). The finding shows that i-STEMim has good content validity and was suitable. dependent t-test analysis shows that the innovative instructional module enhances students' genetic achievement more than the conventional group. There was a significant difference between students that learned with i-STEMim and the conventional method in favour of the i-STEMim group. The findings of this study have implication for teachers’ instruction practices.</em></p> 2022-03-05T18:42:31+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 JOURNAL OF LIBRARY, SCIENCE EDUCATION AND LEARNING TECHNOLOGY https://alhikmah.edu.ng/jolselt/index.php/ajemc/article/view/97 ADOLESCENTS’ AWARENESS OF CONTRACEPTIVES AND THEIR ADMINISTRATIONS IN GARAKU TOWN, NASARAWA STATE, NIGERIA 2022-03-05T20:56:44+00:00 JOLSELT JOLSELT [email protected] <p><em>Total demand and contraceptive use are fundamental measures of access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). The paper analyzed the Adolescents’ Awareness of Contraceptives and their Administrations in Garaku Town, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. The social survey research design was adopted for this paper. Data were collected using qualitative and quantitative methods. 361 questionnaires were distributed among adolescents in Garaku Town, Kokona Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, Nigeria through simple random sampling techniques and Focus Group Discussion were also carried out, and their responses were used to strengthen the responses gathered. Data collected showed that the majority of the respondents have the knowledge and practice of the use of contraceptives. The paper recommends the need for adequate and early sex education among adolescents to ensure that sexual practice is safe. Sexual education programmes will go a long way in ensuring that adolescents who engage in sexual intercourse protect themselves from risky sexual practices such as abortion, multiple partnering, early sexual debut and unplanned pregnancy. Also, the Provision of information about contraceptives should include the possible sources of contraceptives, especially where they could be accessed without embarrassment by the providers.</em></p> 2022-03-05T18:48:40+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 JOURNAL OF LIBRARY, SCIENCE EDUCATION AND LEARNING TECHNOLOGY https://alhikmah.edu.ng/jolselt/index.php/ajemc/article/view/98 Accessibility and Utilization of Electronic Information Resources by Undergraduate Students of Lagos State University, Lagos 2022-03-05T20:56:45+00:00 JOLSELT JOLSELT [email protected] <p><em>The study investigated the access and use of Electronic Information Resources (EIR) among undergraduate students of Lagos State University.

The major findings of the study indicate that, caregiving for the elderly in Nigeria has been characterized by some challenges, and the elderly had to adopt coping strategies to combat these challenges. Premised on these observations, the study recommends that there is need for the establishment of National Agency for the Care of the Elderly (N.A.C.E) in Nigeria. The agency to be established will be charged with the responsibility of identifying locations of the elderly in communities as well as designing a regulatory framework on modalities to which family members who want to keep and care for the elderly could operate since the primary responsibility of this agency will among other things house and care for the elderly. &nbsp;&nbsp;</em></p> 2022-03-05T19:45:52+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 JOURNAL OF LIBRARY, SCIENCE EDUCATION AND LEARNING TECHNOLOGY https://alhikmah.edu.ng/jolselt/index.php/ajemc/article/view/103 COMPUTER SELF-EFFICACY AND E-RESOURCES USE BY UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS OF FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF KASHERE, NIGERIA 2022-03-05T20:56:46+00:00 JOLSELT JOLSELT [email protected] <p><em>The study explores the relationship between computer self-efficacy and use of electronic information resources by undergraduate students of federal university of Kashere, Nigeria.</em><em> The study adopted a descriptive survey research design.

Marriage is a union between two opposite sex. God is the initiator of marriage, Genesis 2:18, the Lord said ‘it’s not good for the man to live alone, I will make him a helper’. The reasons for this are when it was discovered that it was only Adam that was moving up and down in the Garden of Eden. Marriage is for companionship, sexual satisfaction and protection. But as man mingles with world there are now issues in marriage. Marriage can take any form to be legally acceptable in society. They are customary marriage, traditional marriage, religious marriage and civil marriage, any forms of these marriages without the touch of the people’s custom and tradition is not bounding, items requested by the bride family depends on the belief and tradition of the parent. Issues in marriage ranging from religious, culture, physical, economic and emotional.

The WeLClass was designed as a school management system, such that learners can interact with instructional contents uploaded; teachers and school administrators can take attendance and conduct online assessment; and parents can monitor their wards academic progress. This study adopted a design-based approach as its methodology, while the sample size included purposively sampled: 3 Computer Programmers; 3 Educational Technology experts, 3 students’ parents, and 15 computer study students.
