Abstract Many practitioners do not clearly understand the nature and scope of assessment in the early years. This study, therefore, focused on Practitioners' understanding of the assessment of infants, toddlers and preschoolers. The descriptive research method was used for the study. The study's target population was all the Delta North Senatorial District nursery teachers. However, one hundred and eight teachers were purposively selected for the study from 2 Local Government Areas in the District. Three research questions were raised, and one null hypothesis was formulated to guide this study. The instrument used for data collection was developed and validated by the researcher; it was tagged 'Practitioners Understanding of Assessment in Early Years'. The result established no relationship between what they think they know and what they should know. In actual practice, most of the practitioners sampled do not understand the nature and scope of assessment in early years. Recommendations were made amongst which that practitioners working with children below age six in both public and private settings should be retrained on the nature of assessment in the early years to avoid the challenge of over schooling children.

Abstract It is not enough to teach children with ICT tools, and there is the need to scale up and expand the use of these tools in assessment. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to analyze teachers' perceptions of the prospects and challenges in using ICT tools in assessment in elementary schools in Delta State. A quantitative survey research design was used to collect the data randomly from a sample of 183 school teachers in 18 elementary schools in the three senatorial districts in Delta State, Nigeria. The results showed that teachers responded positively to almost all the twelve likely benefits of digital assessment to students; ranging from the fact that digital assessment will help learners live in the reality of their age, be equipped gradually with relevant skills needed at a higher level. The study also established the likely challenges schools will encounter in the journey to digital assessment, and these include, lack or inadequate computers, connectivity, network and classroom space. Therefore, it is recommended that relevant authorities implement new technologies into the school assessment system.

Abstract Statistics show that more girls drop out of school between primary and the tertiary levels of
education than males. One of the major causes of female dropout is untimely pregnancy. This
paper focuses on the consequences of untimely pregnancy, strategies that can be employed
in the prevention of teenage pregnancy and reduction of school dropout because of
pregnancy. The actual fact is, the impact of adolescent pregnancy is not only felt by the girl,
her family but the society at large. Educating and keeping girls in schools or empowering
them with adequate skills and vocations are imperative for national development. It is
therefore recommended that systematic and accurate sex education should be introduced in
the school curricular from Junior Secondary One.

Abstract The impact of verbal and psychological abuse of children may not be immediate but lifelong. Many parents and teachers take verbal abuse as normal without considering the emotional wounds and pains it leaves on young children. This study focused on preschoolers’ experiences of verbal and psychological abuse by their teachers. One hundred and one preschoolers in five public ECCE centres in Delta North Senatorial District were purposively selected for the study. The instrument used for the study was preschoolers’ Verbal and Psychological Abuse Questionnaire developed and validated by the researchers. The result of the study established the prevalence of verbal and psychological abuse on preschoolers. It was recommended that schools should put strategies in place to identify and sanction teachers and caregivers who abuse children verbally or psychologically.

Abstract One of the globally acclaimed means of strengthening family relationship is marital stability. It is viewed as a very important and essential element in sustaining the growth of societal and engendering sustainable national development. Globally, marriage as an institution is facing unmatched instability, which is a threat to family life. Some elements have been acknowledged as prognosticators of marital stability. While some have been empirically tested, some are mere theoretical postulations. Therefore, this study explored the degree at which psychological well-being predicts marital stability among women in the study location. The study made use of the survey design. For data collection, a questionnaire form labeled Psychological Well-Being and Marital Stability Scale was use with 540 married female secondary school teachers and married female commercial bank workers randomly selected for the study. One research question and two research hypotheses were raised. Findings revealed a more occurrence of psychological well-being among employed women and a significant influence of psychological well-being on marital stability (R=.184, R2=0.034, F=3.104, p<0.005). In addition, there was no significant difference in participants’ marital stability. Recommendations were made in line with the findings. We concluded that positive relation with others as an indicator of psychological well-being is positively related to marital stability. Also, the 69.8% prevalence of marital stability and 30.2% instability, as shown in the study, calls for public concern.

Abstract Purpose: Nigeria is experiencing an increased rate of drug use among young people. Studies have shown a very high
rate of drug use and addiction among university undergraduates and this study was aimed at examining the
experiences and meanings associated with drug abuse and addiction among university students, while also
identifying the causative factors of the use of psychoactive substances.
Methods: The study, which is a mixed method, made use of an adapted and validated version of the drug abuse
screening test (DAST-10) scale to measure drug use and emotional intelligence questionnaire was used to measure
an aspect of psychosocial functioning and interviews were used to explore the subjective experiences of six
participants. Both purposive and snowball sampling techniques were employed. The quantitative data
generated were coded and entered into the statistical package for social sciences and results were presented using
descriptive tables.
Results: The results showed no significant relationship and a negative correlation between drug abuse and
emotional intelligence (r = -0.229, p> 0.05). The qualitative data was transcribed and coded using thematic coding
where themes are extracted from each transcript. The most commonly used substances were codeine (85%),
alcohol (75%), cannabis (70%), tramadol (65%), rohypnol (65%), and tobacco (50%). Qualitative data shows that
the participants exercised some sort of willpower over the use of psychoactive substances and the major reason for
use was to seek a new experience.
Conclusion: This study brought to the fore the evidence that personal meanings and experiences come into play in
taking decisions on drinking or substance use, and this should be considered when interventions are planned.

Abstract Alcohol is the most widely used substance of abuse among youths in Nigeria. Underage drinking poses a serious public health problem in most colleges, and despite the health and safety risks, consumption of alcohol is rising. Having recourse to the public health objective on alcohol by the World Health Organisation, which is to reduce the health burden caused by the harmful use of alcohol, thereby saving lives and reducing injuries, this data article explored the nature of alcohol use among college students, binge drinking, and the consequences of alcohol consumption. Secondary school students are in a developmental transition, and this comes with debilitating effects such as risky alcohol use, which affects their health and educational attainment [1], [2]. This data article consists of data obtained from 809 (ages 14–20) participants from selected schools in Ota, near Lagos State, Nigeria. For data collection, the youth questionnaire on underage drinking was employed. This data article presents information on participants' alcohol demographics. Analyses of the data can provide insights into heavy episodic drinking (HED), ever-drinkers, the prevalence of alcohol consumption, strategies to reduce alcohol use, reasons for underage drinking, and the effects of alcohol consumption. The data will be useful for public health interventions.

Abstract Background and Objective: Studies have linked young people with various risky behaviors such as smoking, drunk-driving, risky sexual
behaviours and alcohol abuse. In reality of the increases in prevalence and incidence of alcohol consumption among students in urban
areas in Nigeria, this study was structured to explore alcohol use and abuse among high school students in Ota with emphasis on
determining the socio-cultural factors predicting alcohol use and abuse. Materials and Methods: The survey was a multistage stratified
sampling survey of students in Ota, a popular suburb in the outskirt of the metropolitan city of Lagos. The participants comprised of
678 students (mean age = 15.59, SD = 1.96) who volunteered for the study. The Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening
Test (ASSIST) and a structured questionnaire was used to collect data on the variables of interest. Results: This study revealed that parents
use of alcohol, peer use, age at first use and community reactions (how elders reacts to young people’s alcohol use or misuse) were
significant predictors of alcohol use and abuse among young people. However, community reaction to drug use was the most significant
predictor of participants alcohol use and abuse. This was closely followed by parental use, participant’s age and peer influence.
Conclusion: The sociocultural factors identified in this study exert tremendous influence on student’s alcohol use and subsequent abuse.

Abstract BACKGROUND: School bullying has become worrisome all over the world. There is no adequate information
on bullying in schools in Nigeria, especially regarding the prevalence and treatment programme. Therefore, this
descriptive study examined the efficacy of therapeutic role-plays on bullying perpetration among secondary school
students in Lagos State.
AIM: This descriptive study examined the efficacy of therapeutic role-plays on bullying perpetration among secondary
school students in Lagos State.
METHODS: The study adopted both survey and experimental designs. The study was in two phases and covered
the two of the six educational districts of Lagos State. One thousand, four hundred and forty (1440) participants took
part in the prevalence study, while one hundred and thirty-eight participated in the second phase, which was an
experimental study.
RESULTS: The finding revealed a significant effect of therapeutic role-play in treating bullying perpetrations among
secondary school students (t = 72.822, df = 68; p<0.05).
CONCLUSION: The study concluded that therapeutic role-play effectively reduces bullying perpetrations. Therefore,
counsellors should adopt psychological interventions like therapeutic role-play to reduce bullying perpetrations in
secondary schools

Abstract Introduction: The use of alcohol dates back to time immemorial. The use of alcohol and other substances such
as cannabis, nicotine, ecstasy and other amphetamines among students in tertiary institutions is widespread. Use
of alcohol and other substances has negative effects both on its user and the society at large; hence, the urgent
need to identify factors that contribute to the continued use of these drugs
Methodology: 431 students between ages 15 and 25 (n=431, mean=18.7 (+/-2.3 years) were randomly selected
from four private tertiary institutions in Southwest Nigeria. An adapted and validated version of the World Health
Organization (WHO) questionnaire on drug use surveys was employed for data collection. Data collected were
analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: Amongst the respondents, cigarette smoking (81%) and alcohol (72%) use had the highest prevalence
followed by use of coffee, energy drinks and kolanut (69%). Past and current use of alcohol occurred more
among the males. There was no significant contribution of parental use (? = -.145; t = 1.813; p>0.05) and peer
influence (? = 0.006; t = 0.164; p>0.05) on student’s use of alcohol, however, age (? = -.338; t = 4.140;
p<0.005) was a strong predictor of students use of alcohol and other substances.
Conclusion: There is need for urgent public health preventive intervention on our campuses. More educational
campaigns on the negative consequences of alcohol and substance use is advocated. The use of alcohol and other
substances poses a grave challenge to the future of our future generations. It should be discouraged by all.

Abstract Mental health problems are becoming a major concern among Nigerian secondary school students,
hence the need for relevant and dependable metrics for evaluating these problems. The psychometric
qualities of the DASS-21 scale must be assessed in this population to ensure its utility. The study
validated the scale's dimensionality, item fit, suitability of answer categories, and reliability using
Rasch Model. Participants included 950 secondary school students from different schools across the
three senatorial districts of Delta State, Nigeria. The scale showed a single dimension
(unidimensionality), indicating that the items are moderately difficult and appropriate for the target
population. The scale is sensitive to differences in emotional distress levels among respondents.
Also, the person reliability value wass 0.806 and the item reliability value wass 0.9315, indicating
that the Rasch model reliably measured the latent trait of interest in the amongst of secondary school
students in Nigeria. The study recommended that the DASS-21 scale can be used as a valid tool for
the assessment of mental health problems in secondary school students in Nigeria

Abstract Research findings are vital to a country's progress; hence, conducting research is essential. Numerous online
research resources (ORRs) are available to assist with the research process in the twenty-first century. Apps and
websites that researchers can utilise to aid their research are known as online research resources. Online research
resources have been known to affect the research process positively. Nevertheless, researchers in developing
countries seem not to be using them. This paper explored the reasons for not using them and how to correct the
errors. The population of this study comprised lecturers in tertiary institutions in three states in Nigeria. The
sample consisted of 54 lecturers (48% female and 52% male). The study used a semi-structured interview
technique to gather the data, which was analysed using the thematic technique. The findings indicated that the
causes of low utilisation of online research resources included an inadequate demonstration of the needed skills,
awareness, interest, and willingness to embrace new technologies. Others are that online research resources were
not included in tertiary institutions curriculum and poor mentoring process. In addition, poor internet services,
poor sensitisation, irregular electricity supply, and few experts in that area were other reasons. The remedies
identified by the respondents include workshops, seminars, and training that institutions and academic
associations should carry out. Creating more awareness, personal development, and productive mentorship
should be addressed by academia. Others were that the online research resources should be included in the
curriculum of tertiary institutions and WIFI services should be provided in all tertiary institutions. If these
remedies are implemented, there will likely be an increase in the utilisation of online research resources during
the research process. This study's findings have implications for Nigeria and other developing countries.
Replication of this study in other developing countries will improve the validity of our findings

Abstract Existing literature has shown that violence against women (VAW) is still
common in Africa. Harmful traditional cultural norms have contributed to VAW. The
identification and the awareness of the negative effect of these socio-cultural norms
(SCN) will reduce VAW in Nigeria. This work looks at the socio-cultural norms (SCN) that
lead to violence against rural and sub-urban Nigerian women. A mixed research
approach involving 400 people from Ikaland of different age levels, marital status, and
educational attainment was adopted. More than 75% of the respondents agreed that
blaming the wife for her husband’s angry outburst, not prospering, and his mysterious
death are the leading promoters of VAW. Others are; that a woman is not accorded
respect if she is not married, and it is not proper for a wife to deed any landed property
in her name. Participants suggested that schools could minimise these SCN by using
the teaching-learning process, mass media, and professional academic associations to
carry out public campaigns. This investigation adds to the current body of information
on SCN that promote VAW in the various ethnic groups and provides ways the schools an contribute to combating these norms. Educational stakeholders should implement
the recommended school ways of eliminating these identified socio-cultural norms.

Abstract Early Childhood and Care Education (ECCE) has attracted global focus as governments of
members of United Nations (UN) strive to meet target 4.2 of the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), to ensure that all girls and boys have equal access to quality care and
preprimary education by 2030. ECCE specialists and stakeholders in Nigeria are involved in
various ways, including the organisation of workshops for carers and teachers to meet
the target. In this paper, we present the perceptions of trainees on their learning experiences
in a 3-day workshop organised for carers and teachers, focusing on child-centered
approaches and methodologies in the early years Using a descriptive survey design, all the trainees
rated the extent to which they learned the methodologies in a Likert-questionnaire. The results
suggested that the trainees’ perceptions on the learning of all the methodologies were
positive and were neither influenced by their teaching experiences nor their age.
Furthermore, their positive perceptions were highest for the following:
approaches/methodologies.
? Using circle time.
? Developing children’s physical domain
? Making children learn through play
? Developing children’s cognitive domain.
Moreover, their perceptions were lowest for the following:
o Developing practical ideas for including communities and parents in the classroom
Principles of the Montessori approach
o Preparing assessment reports in the early years
Based on the result of this study, we concluded that the workshop enhanced the
competence and confidence of the trainees to render care and teach in their schools
and made recommendations for sustaining the gains.

Abstract The adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, that children in Nigeria are exposed
to have a significant influence on their behaviour and emotional health. This study
investigates the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in Nigeria and
highlights the factors that contribute to their occurrence, such as poverty,
socioeconomic inequality, and unhealthy family dynamics. The adverse impacts of
adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on children's behavioural issues, such as
aggression, impulsivity, and problems with self-regulation are investigated, as are
the consequences on children's academic achievement, their social relationships,
and the dangers of engaging in dangerous behaviours. The study also focuses on
potential interventions that can be used to reduce the negative effects of adverse
childhood experiences (ACEs). These interventions include increasing awareness,
increasing access to child-friendly mental health services, strengthening social
support systems, implementing child protection laws, and promoting parenting
programmes, and integrating trauma-informed care This paper recommends the urgent
need for collaborative efforts and the prioritising of children's well-being in order to
build a caring environment where Nigerian children may thrive and overcome the
problems associated with ACE.

Abstract : Driving under the influence of alcohol has been identified in past studies and reports as the major cause of road accidents and other public health issues. Commercial cyclists (popularly known as okada riders in Nigeria) pose a great danger to the public in most part of Nigeria because of their reckless riding behaviours. This study therefore examined the prevalence and problems of drinking among okada riders in Delta State, Nigeria. It is a cross sectional study of 250 okada riders across Delta State. Two sets of scales were used to collect data from the various parks. The AUDIT scale was used to establish the prevalence of alcohol drinking while the second scale teased out the problems associated with drinking. The results showed the prevalence of drinking, their perception about the problems associated with drinking and the number of accidents they have had in the past. The regression analysis showed drinking prevalence and occurrence of accidents and other public health concerns... It was therefore recommended that the drinking-driving policy in Nigeria should be strengthened as the advocacy on harm reduction is gaining global concern.

Currently, underage drinking has become a serious public health problem in most colleges and despite the health and safety risk, consumption of alcohol is rising. Having recourse to the public health objective on alcohol by the World Health organization, which is to reduce the health burden caused by the harmful use of alcohol, thereby saving lives and reducing injuries, this study explored the nature of alcohol use among college students, binge drinking and the consequences of alcohol consumption. Secondary school students are in a transition developmentally and this comes with its debilitating effects such as risky alcohol use which affects their health and educational attainment (Loukas, Cance, & Batanova, 2016; Adekeye, 2012).
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 809 college students (ages 14–20 years) using the research survey method. For data collection, an adapted and validated version of the youth questionnaire on underage drinking was employed.
Results: Bivariate analysis found that more male students consume beer and spirits while wine was the reported preference of female students. Heavy episodic drinking (HED) was discovered among few male students while 50.2% of the sample had their first drink between ages 14 and 17. 81% of the sample had ever drank alcohol while more than half (65%) of the sample consume alcohol once in a month. Further analyses show prevalence of alcohol consumption, strategies to reducing alcohol use, reasons for underage drinking and effects of alcohol consumption.
Conclusions: A majority of underage students supported increasing efforts to control underage drinking. The students reported that an effective approach to decreasing alcohol use could be public presentations by people who have been seriously hurt or impaired by alcohol use. This will be a veritable public health intervention

Abstract The family plays a key role in young people’s behaviour both now and in the future. This study examined the influence of parents’ drinking habits on in-school adolescents’ present and future drinking habits. The research design is a cross-sectional descriptive study of 337 senior secondary students randomly selected from ten high schools in Delta North Senatorial Districts, South-South, Nigeria. A self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain data from the respondents. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result showed the number of parents who drink, how and where the adolescents were introduced to alcohol or ‘tasted ‘alcohol for the first time and those who have continued after their first experience. The results also indicated those who have not tasted alcohol but intend to do so in the future. There was a significant association between the alcohol drinking status of respondents and that of their parents. Parent-child dynamism should be considered on alcohol harm reduction among young people.

Abstract Introduction: This study sought to investigate the prevalence of bullying as well as to identify gender differences that exist in bullying behaviour. Bullying occurs mostly among children and adolescents in several settings such as schools and on the streets. The thrust of this study is on bullying that occur in schools.
Methodology: Four hundred secondary school students (mean age = 17.8, SD = 1.2) were randomly selected in four urban secondary school students in Lagos. The descriptive survey research design was employed for this study. A research question and one research hypothesis were raised and tested. The Bullying Prevalence Questionnaire (BPQ) by Rigby and Slee was adopted for data collection in this study.
Results: There was a high prevalence of bullying behaviour among the participants’. The result showed a significant gender differences in the prevalence of bullying behaviour (t = 3.135, df = 398, p < 0.05), the perpetration of bullying behaviour (t = .349, df = 156, p < 0.05) and in being a victims of bullying behaviour (t = 1.332, df = 171, p < 0.05).
Conclusion: To prevent psychopathological tendencies among victims of bullying, educational administrators are encouraged to put mechanisms in place to check incidences of bullying behaviour before they fester and to encourage victims to report acts of bullying, with perpetrators sanctioned accordingly.

Abstract Background: The study examined the effect of individual versus group learning experiences on the task achievement among pupils. For pupils, how the learning occurs and what goes on while they are learning impacts on their academic performance. In doing this, teachers use several means to enhance their teaching so as to ensure that the pupils are able to understand what they are taught.
Method: The design was experimental in nature. Data were obtained from twenty four (24) primary six pupils. Two hypotheses were tested using the Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: Results revealed there was a significant difference in the performance of task given to those who were exposed to group learning and those who were exposed to individual learning (U= 20,000, N1= 12, N2= 12, p= 0.000), but there was no significant difference in the performance in task achievement between males and females exposed to individual learning (U= 11,000, N1= 6, N2= 6, p= 0.310) and group learning (U= 16,000, N1= 6, N2= 6, p= 0.82).
Conclusion: From the study, pupils who were exposed to group learning performed better to those exposed to individual learning. Teachers are to encourage pupils to use group learning to improve performance. It is recommended that teachers create a classroom environment that facilitates children’s interactions and collaborations. At this stage, collaborative learning may be more beneficial.
