Recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has aroused interest in the growth and development of educational AI tools (EAITs). Teachers’ adoption of EAITs in classrooms has helped in shaping instructional decisions taken by them in an attempt to promote intelligently and actively students’ meaningful learning of contents areas. Nevertheless, s...
For Nigeria to attain her Vision 20: 2020, the school curricula must change in line with the development in technology. Teachers should be able to adapt technology into the teaching and learning process. Three non-intellectual elements that affect the degree of integration of technology into teaching and learning are attitude toward computer, compu...
Relationships between approaches to learning and achievement in mathematics are well established in the foreign literature. However, studies on relationships between approaches to learning and achievement in mathematics in Nigerian mathematics education community are scarce. Thus, the goal of the present study is to showcase empirical evidence for...
Science, technology and mathematics (STM) education in Nigeria is bedeviled with numerous challenges including poor performance, dwindling enrolment rate, and little integration of technology into teaching. Nevertheless, former investigations have proven the effectiveness of mobile learning (m-learning) in mitigating the difficulties encountered in...
Learning engagement is a multifactorial paradigm that forecasts content achievement. Yet, learning engagement is rarely assessed in conjunction with mathematics. Therefore, this study explored a survey of learning engagement as a predictor of students’ performance in mathematics. A stratified random sampling technique was deployed to choose a sampl...
The study investigated primary teachers’ mathematics anxiety as related to mathematics teaching anxiety and students’ performance in mathematics among 480 primary teachers from twenty public primary schools. The study adopted the quantitative research method within the blueprint of the descriptive survey design. Findings revealed that test anxiety,...
This study examined the influence of programme of study and gender on students' anxiety in mathematics. Descriptive survey research design was adopted. Preservice teachers from a University of Education in Nigeria were used. A total of 160 second year (200 Level) students (87 male and 73 female) were selected using stratified, proportionate random...
This study through a quantitative research methodology investigated mathematics productive disposition as a correlate of senior secondary school students' achievement in mathematics in Nigeria. A correlational research design was implemented for the study in which three research questions were answered. The sample consisted of 1600 senior secondary...
p>This study investigated the disparities in the mathematics cognitive failures of future mathematics teachers based on learning style inclination. As a descriptive survey study, the sample included 480 future mathematics teachers from four universities in south-west Nigeria. Two research questions were involved and two instruments were used for th...

The emergence of COVID-19 in Wuhan, the Peoples Republic of
China in December 2019 and it spread to Nigeria on February 27,
2020, has made the closure of educational institutions in the
country a must and homeschooling inevitable. Aside from social
distancing and putting on of the armour of basic health hygiene
and using nose masks, COVID-19 p...
Conception of mathematics held by pre-service teachers is a very critical factor which ought to be considered in any attempt aimed at improving the understanding of and performance in the subject. The study assessed university pre-service teachers' conception of mathematics in Ogun state. A descriptive survey research design was used for the study....
Smile detection has attracted considerable amount of research interests in the domain of computer vision. It possesses several potential applications in gaming, human-to-computer and human-to-human interaction. This paper investigates the challenging problem of smile detection from face images acquired under unconstrained conditions. First, a local...
The study examined the perception of science teachers (pre –service and in- service) on the use of stories and games in science classes as these two strategies have been documented to be gender sensitive in favour of girls. For the purpose of the study, a 24-item questionnaire was administered on teachers. The research design was a pre-test post-te...

The study investigated the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) on senior secondary school students' beliefs about Further Mathematics in Nigeria within the blueprint of pre-test-post-test non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design. Intact classes were used and in all, 96 students participated in the study (42 in the experimental grou...
Introduction. The stability of the achievement goal orientation across different contexts has been a source of further research since the new millennium. Through theoretically-driven and empirically-based analyses, this study investigated the psychometric properties of the Elliot and McGregor 2×2 framework for achievement goal questionnaire within...
The purpose of this research study was to examine the relationships between and among the conceptions of mathematics, mathematics teaching efficacy beliefs and mathematics anxiety of pre-service students with mathematics as their major subject (mathematics majors). Participants were 130 mathematics majors enrolled in a college of education in South...
This study investigated the influence of Gender, need-achievement and assertiveness on conceptions about math among senior secondary school students in Ijebu-Ode Local government area of Ogun state. Using an ex-post facto survey research design and multiple sampling methods, a total of 350 participants participated in the study. 127 (36.3%) were ma...
A global view of Mathematics as a subject reveals that it is widely recognized as a problem area and most students have phobia for it. In view of this, the present study examined correlates of math anxiety among single-sex and co-educational schools in Nigeria. The study adopted an ex-post facto descriptive survey research design, and a total of 45...
Research findings have not yet formally established that Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) offers a significant improvement over conventional method of teaching. However, in a meta-analysis of 254 comparative Computer-Assisted Instruction studies, Kulik and Kulik found that the students of varying ability levels all displayed significant positive le...
Preliminary studies confirmed that teaching profession has long been dominated by women. The study therefore examined the implications of gender inequalities in the training of teachers in Ogun State with particular reference to the Premier University of Education otherwise known as Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ijebu-Ode. The quest...
The purpose of this study was to assess differences between Nigerian junior and senior preservice teachers’ science teaching efficacy beliefs. Data in this study were collected from a total number of 221 preservice teachers enrolled in junior and senior secondary science teacher education programs in Nigeria using Science Teaching Efficacy Belief I...
The psychometric characteristics of the 20-item computer anxiety scale (CAS) were examined in a Nigerian sample of 181 preservice teachers (62 men and 119 women). Results indicated a two-factor solution, consistent with those from other studies. The two factors accounted for 41.6% of the total variance in the solution. The internal consistency reli...
The 20-item Computer Anxiety Scale was administered to a Nigerian sample of 162 undergraduates in education (53 men and 109 women). Analysis indicated that the construct of computer anxiety appears to be invariant with respect to sex, year of study, or group (science/nonscience). In addition, a high prevalence of computer anxiety was observed as ab...
Two mathematics Anxiety rating scales, MARS and Phobos, were administered on 136 prospective teachers to examine the prevalence of mathematics anxiety. Results showed that, though mathematics anxiety was not generally prevalent among the prospective teachers in the study, the non mathematics majors amongst them exhibited slightly higher level of ma...
The Conceptions of Mathematics Questionnaire by Crawford, et al. was administered to 130 southwest Nigerian undergraduate education majors who took mathematics. Coefficient alphas of .86 and .84 for the Fragmented and Cohesive subscales were similar to prior values. There were no statistically significant mean differences between men and women or b...
