The two public Colleges of Education in Osun State (Federal Colleges of Education, Iwo and Osun State College of Education, Ila-Orangun) were the study focus. The population of the study comprised 375 lecturers in the two institutions. Stratified sampling technique was used to group the institutions into federal and state.
