- ItemEffect of Instructional Animation on Pupils’ Academic Performance in Literacy(Journal of Education Technology, 2025) Azeez Arisekola SalmanThis study was motivated by the persistent problem of low literacy performance among primary school pupils in Nigeria, which is often attributed to teacher-centered instructional methods and limited use of technology in classrooms. The purpose of the research was to examine the effect of instructional animation on pupils’ academic performance in literacy, with specific attention to gender and school type. The study involved 95 pupils from four selected public and private primary schools in Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State, consisting of 53 pupils from public schools and 42 from private schools. A pre-test, post-test, non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design with a 2×2×2 factorial structure was adopted for the study. Data were collected using the Pupils’ Literacy Performance Test (PLPT), the Instructional Guide for Instructional Animation (IGIA), and the Instructional Guide for Conventional Method (IGCM). The instruments were validated by experts and the PLPT yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.74. Data obtained were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to test the main and interaction effects of instructional animation, gender, and school type on pupils’ literacy performance. The findings revealed that instructional animation had a significant positive effect on pupils’ academic performance in literacy, as those taught with animation outperformed their peers taught with the conventional method. However, there were no significant interaction effects among instructional animation, gender, and school type, indicating that the strategy was effective and inclusive across different learner groups. The study concludes that integrating instructional animation into literacy instruction can enhance pupils’ learning outcomes and promote equitable, technology-based education in primary schools.
- ItemEffect Of Personalized Instruction Strategy On Pupils’ Academic Achievement In Numeracy In Ilorin West Local Government Area Of Kwara State(International Journal of Educational Research & Social Sciences, 2024) Azeez Arisekola Salman; Ojo Ajibola ElishaThis study focused on effect of personalized instructional strategy on pupils academic achievement in Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State. The study adopted pre test post-test control group quasi-experimental research design. A factorial design of 2X2 was adopted for the study. The population comprises of all public and private primary schools pupils. The sample size were four primary three classes. First, all the schools were divided into two strata (Private and Public), and Purposive sampling technique was used to select (2) public and (2) private schools using intact class. Three research instruments were used titled: Pupils’ Numeracy Achievement Test (PNAT) with two treatment packages, Instructional Guide for Personalized Instruction (IGPI) and Instructional Guide for Conventional Method (IGCM). Instruments were subjected to face and content validity by some selected numeracy. Test re-test method of reliability was used. Thereafter, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to determine the reliability index of (r=.71). Three research hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The demographic data of the participants, were analyzed using frequency counts, mean, and percentage while the research hypotheses were tested, using analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. The finding revealed among others that there was a significant main effect of treatment on pupils’ academic achievement in Numeracy in Ilorin West Local Government, Kwara State (F (1; 129) = 10.175, P< 0.05). Those exposed to Personalized Instruction (15.726) performed significantly higher than those exposed to conventional method (14.667). Based on the findings of this study, it can be explicitly stated that personalized instructional strategy can enhance better performance in Numeracy than the traditional method of teaching and learning. Recommendation were made among others, Numeracy teachers should be enlightened on the effectiveness of personalized instructional strategy on pupils’ academic performance in Numeracy.

This study examined the impact of single faith schools on pupils’ interfaith understandings. The research investigates whether exposure to a single-faith school environment fosters interfaith understanding or reinforces religious boundaries. Descriptive, survey research design was used. 174 pupils were selected for this study from privately owned single faith and conventional schools using stratified sampling technique. Rating scale was used as the research instrument. One research question and two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that pupils from single faith schools have a low level of interfaith religion understanding. Also, there was no significant difference in interfaith religion understanding of pupils’ based on gender. The researcher therefore recommends that the unintended consequences of the rising numbers of single faith schools in the metropolis should be evaluated as Nigeria remains a country which is largely still sensitive to religious issues. Also, single faiths should make deliberate effort to teach and promote interfaith dialogue in their schools and the country needs all her citizens to understand and be tolerant to other religions.
