    Development of Online Degree During the Pandemic; Case Study on the Role of International Open University in Indonesia
    (Academia Letters, 2021) Maspul, Kurniawan Arif; Amalia, Fina
    Education is a crucial individual need, regardless of the level of wealth and status in society (Ogbu, 1983; Subotnik et al., 2011). As through a circular from the Ministry of Education and Culture in 2020 by Nadiem Makarim urging him to cancel the teaching and learning process during the pandemic. Shifting habits that are formally run traditionally in the classroom now have to be done online. Moreover, Indonesia has had impromptu online lectures for the past year, and each has a different application in conveying the teaching and learning process. Even their names are different, such as online learning, e-learning, online lectures (Arifani, 2021; Faisal, 2021; Syamsuddin et al., n.d.). Meanwhile, seeing the current state of the pandemic in Indonesia is pretty alarming; from 2020 until now, the nation's economic condition has fallen apprehensively (Peterman et al., 2020; Sparrow et al., 2020). This has negatively affected the development of education in Indonesia, where significant dropouts and discontinued studies occurred. On the other hand, there are several challenges for students who need quite a long time in adapting to online lectures that have been implemented for the past year (Teräs et al., 2020; Yarrow et al., 2020). In the current pandemic conditions, it is necessary for students or prospective students who want to continue their studies to see the costs incurred in participating in teaching and learning activities at a higher school level. Likewise, it is appropriate for universities to follow the current conditions, namely reducing costs for students who want to continue their studies at the undergraduate level (Chang & Fisher, 200

This study examined the relationship between character education and value reorientation as a means for the control of insecurity in Nigeria. The study adopted a correlation research design, the sample of the study consisted of one hundred and eighty-one (181) participants. The study reported that character education should be built into the Nigerian curriculum as a subject of study in schools and school counselors and educational psychologists should be facilitated to organize seminars and conferences in schools on value reorientation about changes in values and human behavior. The originality of this study lies in the correlation of character education and value reorientation in the quest for the control of insecurity in Nigeria. The results of this study asserted the inculcation of character education into Nigerian schools' curriculum with the components of value reorientation. The finding of this study is pertinent to the government, private school proprietors, curriculum developers, textbook writers, and individuals in our collective quest for the control of insecurity in Nigeria

    This study determined the effects of two instructional strategies (Project and Inquiry) on students' achievement in selected abstract concepts of Biology. The study adopted the pretest-posttest control group, a quasi-experimental design. 120 SS II Biology students from six co-educational schools in two Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kwara state were randomly selected. Participants were randomly assigned to treatment groups. The instruments used were: the Biology Student Achievement Test (r= 0.88) and Teachers Instructional guides on Project and Inquiry strategies. Two hypotheses were formulated and tested at a 0.05 level of significance. The data collected were analyzed using analysis of covariance, the treatment had a significant main effect on students' achievement on some selected abstract concepts in Biology (F (2, 107)= 12.061; p< 0.05, partial ?2= 0.184). Project strategy (PS) treatment group 1 has the highest adjusted mean achievement scores (x ?= 23.21) than those in the Inquiry Strategy (IS) treatment group11 (x ?= 17.81) and the students in the Conventional Strategy (CS) control group have the lowest adjusted mean achievement scores (x ?= 17.20). This order is represented as PS> IS> CS. The male students showed greater improvements in mean gain of achievement scores by 21.94 and female students by 17.13. Based on the findings Project and Inquiry strategies should be adopted for the improvement of students' achievement in abstract concepts in biology.

    Integrating world experience through interdisciplinary learning in Nigerian universities
    (ASEAN Journal of Educational Research and Technology, 2024) Muraina, K. O.; Musa, H. A.; Tinuke, K. R.
    In the current context, higher education faces the challenge of preparing future professionals to respond to society's increasingly complex problems. However, the search for solutions means adopting new ways of working that promote multidimensionality through collaboration and an interdisciplinary outlook. Despite the advances made in interdisciplinary research, innovation development, and interdisciplinary teamwork, however, the implementation of this approach in higher education is still very slow, and further efforts are required. This article considers the opportunities for an interdisciplinary approach to student learning in university settings. In Nigeria, it is common knowledge that the educational system in it is not what it ought to be. This is evidenced by the fact that, above all, a good number of graduates from this system are unemployable, leading to so many ills in society. It is not unconnected with this fact that national policy on education was formulated to correct the anomaly. A juxtaposition of the policy with the state of higher education in Nigeria shows that the policy is far from actualizing its ends. The paper, therefore, suggested that core subjects should be integrated into the curriculum across levels that involve interdisciplinary learning in Nigerian universities.

    Education inclusiveness among children with learning disabilities in Nigeria: Implications for counseling
    (Multidisciplinary Humane Perspectives on Education, 2024) Muraina, K. O.
    Education is seen as the cornerstone of every development forming the basis for literacy, skill acquisition and technological advancement, as well as the ability to harness the natural resources of the state. Participants in the World Conference on Education for All pointed out that education is a fundamental right of all people of all ages throughout the world. Learning disabilities occur when the learning process is hampered due to problems within the central nervous system which results in an inconsistency between the individual's intelligence quotient and academic achievement. Education for All programmes emanating from UNICEF, UNESCO and the World Bank have had some positive results for non-disabled children. School enrolment and literacy rates have risen in almost all countries to date; however, the same cannot be said for children with disabilities. Despite the numerous meetings, declarations and encouraging developments that have followed over the years, this progress has certainly not been matched. The development of education inclusiveness can be viewed in three stages: segregation, integration and education inclusiveness. Successful inclusion is less to do with the individual factor such as amount of support for the child; rather, it is the interaction of certain key factors that brings about the likelihood of a more successful inclusion outcome for the child.
