    Effect of the Mother Tongue on Students' Performance in Senior School english in Ogbomoso, Nigeria
    (Institute Journal of Studies in Education, 2017) Ogunniran, V.O; SURAJUDEEN, A. B
    Abstract This research examined the effect of the Mother- Tongue on students’ performance in the Senior Schools English in Ogbomoso South Local Government, Oyo State. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the role of the Mother Tongue as a complementary medium in English language class. Mother tongue is one’s first language; it is an instrument for the development of the human mind, it can help to get proficiency in other language, especially English language. English is the language of education, mass media, politics, commerce and socio-cultural life. It is very imperative to find out whether mother tongue has relationship with the English Language usage and performance in English. The Non-equivalent Control Group design was adopted for the study. Two groups were involved, one group constituted the Experimental Group while the other served as the Control Group. One hundred and eighteen students and five teachers were involved in the study. The instruments for data collection were pre-test multiple choice questions; teaching packages; and post-test multiple choice items in English language. The instruments were validated and used to collect data for the study. Two Hypotheses were postulated and tested using the Analysis of Co-variance at the 0.05 level of significance. The result of the study showed that a systematic use of the MT in the English class will present the teachers with the opportunities to equip learners with explicit knowledge of the language systems and ultimately aid mastery of the language. There is a significant difference in the performance of students in English when they are taught through the medium of English and the Mother Tongue than their counterparts in the control group. Again, there was no significant gender effect on the performance of students in English, when they were taught through the medium of English and the Mother Tongue. On the basis of these findings, it was recommended that teachers of English should incorporate the Mother Tongue of learners to effectively explain the content of the English when necessary.

    Effect of the Mother Tongue on Students' Performance in Senior School mathematics in Ogbomoso, Nigeria
    (Department of Adult and Primary Education, 2017) Ogunniran, V.O; SURAJUDEEN, A. B
    The woeful performance of the students in Mathematics has been the concern of the students, parents, teachers, government and the society as a whole. It was the compelling issue that led to this study, and discovered that the mathematical concepts, terms and scales are difficult, and the fact that Nigerian students have to be taught in a second language compounds the problem. this research work examined the effects of the mother tongue (mt) on students performance in the senior secondary school mathematics in Ogbomoso South Local Government, Oyo State. Two purposes of the study, two research questions and hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The non-equivalent control group design was adopted for the study. Two senior secondary schools were sampled from Ogbomoso South Local Government Area of Oyo State. One of the intact classes constituted the experimental group while the other served as the control group. One hundred and eighteen (118) students and five (5) teachers participated in the study: 62 students were in the experimental while 56 students were in the control group. The instrument for data collection were pretest, multiple choice questions; teaching packages and post test multiple choice items. The instruments were validated and tested for reliability at 0.693 and was used to collect data for this study. Two hypotheses were postulated and tested using the analysis of co-variance at 0.05 level of significance. The result of this study showed that there was a significant difference in the performance of students taught mathematics through the medium of English and the MT, and their counterparts (i.e. the 56 students in the control group) taught through the medium of English without the Mt. Thus, the study favoured the initial 62 students in the experimental group who learnt Mathematics through the medium of English and the MT. On the basis of these findings, it was recommended that teachers of Mathematics should use the MT and the language of instruction by code mixing and code switching to teach Mathematics effectively and to explain the content of the subject where necessary.

    (AL-HIKMAII JOURNAL OF EDUCATION, 2020-12) Ogunniran, V.O; SURAJUDEEN, A. B
    Learners have different social and intellectual background, and not all the available materials can meet their needs and interest. The provision of locally produced instructional materials is a logical action for balancing activities among the different categories of learners. This study examines the difference between student-teachers and in-service teachers in the usage of improvised instructional materials in teaching senior school Yoruba language. Questionnaire vi>as employed to elicit data from the respondents. The population involved teachers of Yoruba in senior secondary schools in Qyq State, out of which 110 student-teachers and in-service teachers were sampled. The reliability of the instrument was established through the split-half reliability procedure where a value of 0.69 was obtained. Four research hypotheses were tested using the t-test. The results indicated that there was no significant difference in student-teachers and in-service teachers' perception of improvised instructional materials; there was no significant difference in student-teachers and in-service teachers' awareness of improvised instructional materials (df(108) t=.115, p > 0.05.); there was no significant difference in student-teachers and in-service teachers' production of improvised instructional materials; and there was no significant difference in student- teachers and in-service teachers' utilisation of improvised instructional materials in leaching senior school Yoruba in Oyo State. It was therefore recommended that both the student- teachers and in-service teachers of the Yoruba language should improvise instructional materials to arouse the senior students' interest in learning the subject.
