    The emergence of new technological innovations in classroom has brought about greater changes in pedagogy especially in concepts related to abstraction such as Geography. Geography teaching and learning particularly elements of physical Geography, is mostly approached in a conventional pedagogical manner even as the concept consist abstractions. Physical Geography comprise abstractions leading to students’ conceptual difficulties, leading to poor academic performance and low retention. On this basis, this study engaged a visualisation technology; Augmented Reality Instructional Tool (ARIT) to examine Geography learners’ performance and retention when they are exposed to its’ use in learning Physical Geography concepts. Four research questions were answered, while, one hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. A mixed method research approach of an experimental and survey designs was adopted. A multistage sampled intact class served as the participants. Three test instruments: an open-sourced AR mobile application (ARSJA); an adopted performance and retention test on physical geography (PRTPG); and a validated 7-Item questionnaires with a reliability value of 0.82 were employed as the research instrument. A retention rubric adopted based on the Brown-Peterson Task of Memory was used as the qualitative content analysis tool. The major finding of the study was that ARIT enhances learners’ performance and retention and equally embraces gender equality. The study concluded, that the teaching and learning of Geography can be enhanced with the use of ARIT.

    Availability, Accessibility, and Utilization of Intelligent Tutoring System for Instruction Among Secondary School Teachers in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria
    (Indonesian Journal of Multidisciplinary Research, 2022) Nuhu, Kehinde Muritala; Onojah, Amos Ochayi
    The concept of Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) is used to describe any computer-based educational systems that provide immediate and personalized instruction and feedback to learners, usually without the intervention from a human teacher. This study examined the availability, accessibility, and utilization of ITS applications for teaching among selected secondary schools in Ilorin, Kwara state. The research was a descriptive type using the survey method. A random sampling technique was used to select 150 teachers from 5 secondary schools in Ilorin, Kwara state. Intelligent tutoring systems are not available to secondary school teachers in the Ilorin metropolis; the reaction of the respondents towards the use of ITS application software for instruction was Positive. From the findings of this study, it was concluded that Teachers do not have access to ITS application for instruction as a result of the availability of ITS instruction application. The implication is that if teachers have access to the ITS application for Instruction it will further foster education security. The study recommends that Government and School administrators should ensure adequate power supply and Internet facilities for easy access and utilization of ITS applications for Instruction in the classroom, also teachers who are not in ICT compliance should be encouraged to study further to meet up with the current technological trends.
