Abstract The study focused on determining the influence of curriculum models and school type variables on students’ cognitive learning outcome in science. Opinions vary as to variables that affect science learning outcomes among boys and girls. Research reports have also contradicted one another on the disparity that exists between the sexes in achievements in science and in participation in science occupations. This study is an attempt in establishing empirically the effect of these variables on science learning outcome as well as proffer possible remedies to poor science achievement among learners. Four null hypotheses were tested in the study. Two hundred and ten (210) SS2 science students in nine intact classes from three secondary schools (one from each senatorial zone) in Delta state, Nigeria were taught six concepts in biology using three curriculum models (Traditional Expository Approach (TEA), Hypothetico-Predictive Learning Cycle (HPLC) and Descriptive Learning cycle (DLC)) for ten weeks. The three sampled schools consist of one All-boy, one All-girl and one co- educational school respectively. A 3x3x2 factorial design was employed while data was collected using three instruments (Test of scientific reasoning skill, test of attitude towards science and test of achievement in science). The resulting data was subjected to Analysis of Variance ( 2-way ANOVA) with repeated measures as well as graphical display. Result showed that while outcome varied along test types, with attitude most favoured, there was no interaction with either school type or gender. However, HPLC proved more effective in improving students’ learning outcome across school types and gender. It was concluded that while all school types had the same effect on learning outcome of science students, there is need to employ adequate curriculum models that afford learners opportunity to learn science the way scientist do as well as provide adequate and conducive physical, social and psychological science learning environments for all school types and for both sexes.

Abstract 120 fingerlings of Clarias gariepinus were fed five different experimental 35% isoproteic diets, a
control (0% water hyacinth) and four diets containing different levels of water hyacinth (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) in
place of fish meal as protein source at %% of the body weight for 70 days under laboratory condition.
The study revealed a decrease in the growth performance indices as the level of water hyacinth increases. The
highest weight gain (3.67g/fish) and specific growth rate (0.84%) and lowest weight gain (3.08g/fish) and specific
growth rate (0.54) were recorded from fish fed the control diet and 40% water hyacinth inclusion respectively. There
was no significant difference (P?0.05) between the weights gains recorded for the fish fed all the experimental diets.
The cost of feeds production decreases as the inclusion levels of water hyacinth increases. Highest Net Profit of
N224.07 was recorded from fish fed 30% water hyacinth supplemented diet.
Based on the result of this experiment,
the 40% inclusion levels of water hyacinth as fish meal supplements is recommended in a practical diet of C.
gariepinus for good yield and profitability.

Abstract Western media reports have on different occasions cited
that most Nigerian families live on less than one dollar per
day. An AL.Jazeera's report aired during the national strike
on January, 2012, occasioned by the removal of subsidy on
premium motor spirits (petrol) in Nigeria supported the
above assertion and regretted that the purchasing capacity
of Nigerians would further be made worse by the present
disposition of the central government. The above reports
presuppose that availability and access to quality nourishing
foods at affordable costs would further drift beyond the
reach of most families and more would precipitate beyond
the poverty line. Food inadequacy is used in this paper to
mean a condition in which families are not able to afford
foodstuff for balanced diets in their right mix

Abstract Clarias gariepinus fingerlings (1.25g+0.05) were fed with eleven isonitrogenous diets with varying levels of Eichhornia crassipes (water Hyacinth) inclusion (0% congtol diet), 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100%) to assess the effect of replacing fishmeal with water hyacinth in fish s diet. The fingerling were fed twice daily at 5% body weight for ten weeks and growth performance and nutrient utilization were determined.The study revealed that growth rate i.e .weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) decreases with increase in the water hyacinth inclusion level. The highest weight gain(3.76g/fish) and SGR (0.84%) were recorded for Diet A control while Diet K(100%water hyacinth) had the weight gain (1.98g /fish) and SGR (0.31%). There was no significant difference in weight gain between the control diet (0%) and those fed with10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%, water hyacinth inclusion diets. There was a non-significant p>0.05) but positive correlation (t = 0.3) between weight gain and food intake in all diets. The highest FCR of 4.37 was recorded for fingerlings fed 709% inclusion diet while the lowest of 3.30 was recorded for 20% water hyacinth inclusion diet. The FCR values showed a non-significant correlation with the levels of inclusion of water hyacinth(r= 0.117, p>0.050. Therefore, it can be concluded that the feed of C. gariepinus fingerlings be replaced with 10% 50% water hyacinth inclusion levels for adequate growth performance and nutrient utilization.

Abstract Information technology has aroused more curiosity than ever before in teaching. This paper reviews areas of instruction where the teaching of Integrated Science could benefit from the use of information and communication technology (ICT) and notes that such areas are many and are capable of facilitating the study of concepts that ordinarily could not have been possible. However, the resource-poor capacity of most Integrated Science robs them of the mental readiness to use computer for quality teaching due to the financial problems that stop many from getting their personal computers or laptops. It was further noted that certain problems hinder the effective use of Information Technology in Integrated Science. The solutions towards ameliorating those problems were proffered.

Abstract Among several factors identified for the low level of scientific, technological, and economic growth is the persistent low participation of women in technological development. This paper surveyed gender barriers and challenges among 96 selected in women who excel in successful technology and mathematics-based occupations, and their success stories that made them great role models. It was found that these groups of women when brought into close and regular contacts with Nigerian school girls will boost their interest in science subjects and science-based occupations, to complement the male efforts in contributing to the technological development of Science. The place of Science, Technology and Mathematics Education (STME) in the life of any nation is one, which is inextricably tied with the pace of development. In fact the STME growth of a nation can be used as reliable indices of the potential for sustainable development. Presently there is a wide disparity between men and women in the production inputs in developing countries including Nigeria with a high women census figure (Wasagu (1993). Addic (1995). Gwaran (I997) and Ogwuazor (2001). Over the years the importance of bridging the educational gaps between the males and females has been stressed worldwide. One of the Millennium Development Goals in UN summitin September. 2000 is: Promote gender equality and empower women. Eliminate gender disparity in primary school and at all level by 2015, the wide gap between males and females appears to have persisted for centuries with women lagging so much behind their male Nyeran

Abstract In Nigeria, most wastes (solid and liquid) are indiscriminately disposed of with partial treatment or untreated. While some wastes are dumped directly into the rivers, others are left on the earth surface and may later be moved through runoff into the rivers and pollute them. This
unwholesome and non-environment-friendly practice necessitated this study which investigated the impact of urbanization and seasonal variation on the water quality in Ikpoba River, Benin City, Nigeria. Eight water samples were collected at d?fferent stations, namely pre-urban, Urban 1. Urban 11 and post-urban. Four water samples were collected at each station during the dry season months of December 2005 and February 2006 and the rainy season months of June and September 2006. Samples were analysed in a laboratory for physicochemical and microbial parameters such as PO, . Fe, Ca and BOD among others. A total of S00 questionnaires were administered and 492 (98,4%) well-filled questionnaires were analyzed to determine the perception of the water quality by the respondents and also to what use they put the water. The data were analyzed using percentages, correlation, and ANOVA. The results show significant spatial and seasonal variation in the water quality. with pre-urban and dry seasons waters are better in quality than the urban and rainy seasons. Urbanization was also observed to have negatively affected the water quality. The respondents used the water most for washing (30%), followed by swimming and bathing (24%) and drinking (19%). The constant and prolonged use of the polluted river water resulted in health problems like intestinal diseases, typhoid fever and skin diseases among others. It is recommended among others that the Ministry of Environment should stop both the industrialists and waste management agencies from using the river and its valley ds dumping sites.

Abstract There are indications that the amount and quality of science teaching and learning that take place in schoolsare mediated by teacher- related factors. Notable among them is the nature of teacher - pupil interactionsthat take place in the classroom. This study is designed to investigate the causal paths and directions ofthreshold time among integrated science teachers in Delta state, Nigeria. An ex-post facto design wasadopted by hypothesizing a theoretical causal relationship model. The sample consisted of all 147 qualifiedintegrated science teachers in the 25 local government areas in Delta state. Intact classes of students werepurposively sampled and taught by the integrated science teachers. Five instruments were used in thestudy. They are the Classroom Interaction Sheet (CIS),Teachers' Attitude Towards Integrated ScienceTeaching Questionnaire (TATISTQ), Locus of Control Scale (LCS), Self-concept Rating Scale (SCRS) and Sigel'sCognitive Style Test (SICOST). Data was collected in two phases. During the first phase, classroomobservation of the teaching process using the CIS was done and recorded at fifteen seconds interval acrossall categories while in the second and third phases, TATISTS, LCS, SCRS and SICOST were administered on theteachers. Data collected were analysed using time-series analysis of frequency and cumulative frequenciesacross the different behaviour categories of the CIS. The mean of the threshold time and its associatedstandard deviation were calculated. Data generated from the questionnaires were analysed using multipleregression on the 8-teacher factors. A parsimonious model was produced with sixteen surviving paths at0.05 level of significance. This model explained the pattern of correlation of the causal interaction betweenthe predictor and the criterion variables. The study also found 27 out of the 136 pathways through whichthe predictor variables caused variation in the criterion variable as significant. The study recommended thatintegrated science teachers should be exposed to the ·knowledge and benefits of threshold time throughteacher education and in-service courses to enable them manage instructional time.

Abstract This study was carried out to investigate the extent of awareness, access and the utilization of Information and Communication Technology in secondary schools in Delta state. To achieve this, five research questions were
formulated and answered. Survey research method was adopted for the study while structured questionnaire
was the instrument used for data collection. Data colleeted were analyzed descriptively. The data were
presented in Frequency tables and percentages. The respondents were asked questions on the following
technologies; Computer, telephone, internet, television, radio, and Video Compact Disc Players (VCD). The
findings revealed that both teachers and students in the secondary schools that were studied were more aware
of the use of computers in education than any other technology they were asked. It was also discovered that the
computer was the most available technology in the schools and both teachers and students had access to them. However, the study further revealed that not all of these computers that were available were fully
operational and above all, the computers are not used as technology in education (teaching and learning of other subjects) rather, they are used for technology education (teaching the students how to operate the computer only).
