    Measuring Students’ Dimensional Analysis Knowledge of Mechanics Concepts of Physical Quantities in Kwara State, Nigeria
    (Department of Educational Studies, University of Okara, Pakistan, 2023) Yahaya W. O.; Akanbi A. O.; Mohammed R. E.
    To measure and examine the students’ knowledge and understanding of dimensional analysis of mechanics concepts of physics’ physical quantities of two or more dimensions, a questionnaire tagged “Mechanics Concepts of Physics Physical Quantities’ Dimensional Analysis Questionnaire” was administered to five hundred (500) post-basic III students selected through multistage sampling technique. Descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistic (t-test) was used to analyze the collected data. The results of the study revealed that students have average knowledge and understanding of dimensional analysis and its procedure of all observed mechanics concepts of physics’ physical quantities. In addition, the study revealed that gender does not influence the understanding and knowledge of dimensional analysis of physics’ physical quantities. The study recommended that the students should be exposed to dimensional analysis and its procedure of all observed mechanics concepts and other branches of physics and further investigation should be launched on the students’ knowledge and understanding of other branches of physics like thermodynamics, electricity, and magnetism’s concepts’ dimensional analysis.

    Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling and Necessary Condition Analysis of the 21st Century Digital Literacy and Awareness of Physics Application of our Everyday life in Kwara State, Nigeria
    (Faculty of Education, Tanta University, Egypt, 2023) Akanbi A. O.; Yahaya W. O.; Mohammed R. E.; Yahaya Q.
    The present study search on 21st century digital literacy and its relationship with students’ awareness of the physics application in our everyday use of lens, optics, electricity and energy. The study sampled four hundred and eighty-four (484) education students’ across all teacher-producing colleges and universities in Kwara state, Nigeria using a convenient sampling technique. An adapted and researchers’ designed instruments were used to elicit data from the respondents. A Partial least square structural equation modeling approach was used and the data collected were analyzed via Smart PLS software version 4.0.9.2. The results of the study revealed that all three dimensions of 21st digital literacy were significantly related to students’ awareness of physics applications in our everyday life. The study also found that necessary condition analysis and partial least square p-values result indicated that 21st digital literacy can influence significantly the students’ awareness of physics applications in the use of lens and optics, and electricity and energy.
