Item Assessment of technology integration by senior secondary school teachers of science and mathematics(ATBU Journal of Science, Technology and Education. Faculty of Technology Education, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi, 2018-11) Badmus, Olalekan T.; Sulaiman, M. M.; Imam, B. T.; Omosewo, E. O.Qualitative education is a correlate of technological development in many countries. The trend of scholastic studies in technological integration in classrooms have reported better performance from students taught using technology. Integration is mostly done by teachers with a view to improve students’ performance, hence, this study investigated technology integration by senior school science and mathematics teachers in Ilorin, Nigeria. Forty-two females and seventy-three male teachers were sampled. Teachers’ Technology Integration Assessment (TTIA) questionnaire elicited data to answer four research questions generated in this study. Descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage and charts were employed. Thirty one percent of teachers’ use technology in their classroom against 69% who do not. Twenty-three percentage indicated weekly, 32% monthly and 45% occasionally integrated technology in their classrooms. Also, less experienced teachers integrated technology most among experienced, moderately experienced and less experienced teachers. Male teachers integrated technology more than the female teachers in this study.Item Biology education and bio entrepreneur opportunities in Nigeria(NIGERIAN ONLINE JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY (NOJEST), 2020) Bello, G; Alabi, H. I.; Ahmed, A. R.; Sulaiman, M. M.; Bello, Z. A.; Bello, A. A.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.Item Biology education and bio entrepreneur opportunities in Nigeria(NIGERIAN ONLINE JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY (NOJEST), 2020) Bello, G; Alabi, H.

S. B.; Abubakar, M.; Ezeamagu, M. U.; Ezeamagu, C. E.; Sulaiman, M. M.Computers have been in use in facilitating teaching and learning in Nigerian institutions of learning over the years. The study investigated the magnitude of the effects of Computer Assisted Instruction on secondary students’ performance in sciences through meta-analysis of the effect sizes of the studies done in Science Education Department, Federal University of Technology Minna. Descriptive survey design precisely using Meta-analysis was adopted in the study. The population of the study consisted of 545 projects conducted in science education department F.U.T. Minna for the years 2006-2015. 78 research reports were selected using purposeful sampling technique considering only CAI studies. The results revealed that the average effect size of Biology across the years was 0.46 (46%), Chemistry was 0.05 (5%), Geography was 0.48(48%), Mathematics was 0.40 (40%) and Physics was 0.57 (57%) across the years. The average effect size of the five basic science subjects was 0.52(52%) which is a large effect size. The study found out that there was no significant difference among the effect sizes based on nature of subjects and there was no significant difference among the effect sizes based on the years of the studies. It was recommended among others that use of CAI should be encouraged in schools as it enhances teaching and learning especially in science subjects. Effect sizes should always be reported in experimental studies to display the quantum of effects of treatments for decision making
