    (University of Lagos,Nigeria, 2020) BELLO, Ganiyu; ALABI, Hafsat Immam; AHMED Aduke, Rihanat; SULAIMAN, Musa Mohammed; BELLO, Zakariyau Adebayo
    Nigeria has been experiencing various socioeconomic and environmental challenges such as unemployment, poverty, insecurity and climate change within the past few decades. These challenges are traceable to a lack of synergy between capital and nature. Knowledge and skills in various fields of biology such as Bioeconomics and Bio-entrepreneur are potent tools for building a strong synergy between capital and nature to enhance sustainable socio-economic development in the nation. This paper focuses on how biology education can be utilised to develop and promote Bio-entrepreneur opportunities among Nigerian youths for sustainable national development. The paper provided overviews of concepts such as biology education, bio-entrepreneur, bioeconomics and so forth. The millennium development goals and the 21st-century skills within the context of sustainable development in Nigeria. Finally, the paper advocated for urgent realignment of biology and science education for sustainable national development.

    Study Technology is an activity-based strategy that could be used as panacea for any learning difficulties in any subject because it can enhance efficient learning with full mastery. Studies have established that senior school students experience difficulties in learning some basic concepts in Biology. Such concepts are Genetics, Embryology, Evolution and Ecology among many others. This study, therefore, investigated the effects of Study Technology Learning Strategies on Senior School Students‘ Achievement in Ecology in Ilorin, Nigeria. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design involving pre-test, post-test control groups, with a 3x3 matrix. The sample was made up of purposively selected 399 Senior School 1 Students, comprising 171 males and 228 females from three schools. Content validated Teacher Training Package; Systematic Lesson Plans and Ecology Achievement Test were used as instruments. A reliability coefficient of 0.71 was obtained for EAT with Pearson Product-moment Correlation involving SPSS Statistical package of version 22. Three hypotheses were tested with ANCOVA at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study were that: learning with Demo kit combined with learning on a gradient had a significant effect on the students‘ achievement (F (1,175) =50.30, p<0.05); (ii) learning with Demo kit combined with word clearing had a significant effect on the students‘ achievement (F (1,140) = 92, 98, p<0.05; there was a significant effect of the combined variables on students‘ achievement in Ecology based on score level (F (1,157)= 8.308, p<0.05). The study concluded that when students learnt with Demo kit combined with learning on a gradient and word clearing, they achieved better. It was therefore recommended that Biology students should be assisted to learn Ecology by using many Study Technology learning strategies to improve their achievement.

    The Roles of STEAM Teacher Education in the Emerging E-Society and Sustainable Development Goals
    (IADITI – International Association for Digital Transformation and Technological Innovation, PORTUGAL, 2019-12-22) AHMED Aduke, Rihanat; ALABI, Hafsat Immam; BELLO, Ganiyu; BELLO, Zakariyau Adebayo; SULAIMAN, Musa Mohammed; BELLO, Agboola Abdurazak
    : The ever increasing applications and widespread use of digital Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in every aspect of human interactions has become a dominant culture in the current post-modern society. Consequently, it is almost impossible for individuals who are e-illiterate to survive in the emerging smart cities and e-societies, in general. Sustainable development in any nation now rests largely on the level of mastery and use of ICT, as well as, the degree to which citizens are eliterate. The task of developing human potentials needed to power sustainable socioeconomic development as well as producing eliterate citizens, is a core function of the education industry. Here in lies the significance of education, especially teacher education in the achievement of sustainable development goals. This paper therefore, addresses the role of STEAM teacher education in the emerging smart cities, e- societies, and sustainable development goals. The concepts of smart cities, e-societies, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and STEAM teacher education were discussed in the paper. The role of STEAM teacher education in the attainment of SDGs, was critically examined, and the paper calls for the restructuring of the Nigerian education system in line with the basic tenets of STEAM education as parts of measures to attain the SDGs in Nigeria.
