Applicability of Archetypes and the Folkloric Panacea on Societal Ills and Degradation of Morality
(International Conference on Humanities, Literature and Management, 2015-01-10) Okeowo, Adegoke; Okeowo, Abigail Olufunmilayo
Technological advancement in this contemporary age has, obviously, turned the world into a global village. The art of news gathering and dissemination has become phenomenal. All one needs do is punch the right buttons on the computer or mobile phone and the world is, as it were, at your feet! This has brought to fore an endless stream of disturbing news of chaos, violence, brutality and absurdity across the nations of the world – all of which are, surreptitiously, pushing the human society towards the precipice of self-annihilation. Over the ages value system in most societies seem to be changing at an amazing rapidity, resulting in a gradual but alarming erosion of societal morality. In this respect therefore sociologists, social crusaders, educational psychologists, guidance counselors, opinion leaders, and significant others must put hands on deck to arrest a worsening scenario. The foregoing background forms the premise of this paper which seeks to examine the nature of archetypes as embedded in African folklore in particular, and as obtained in cultures of the world in general. The paper submits that, by reason of its universality, archetypes can be employed through the use of folklore (which is essentially didactic) to bring about a reawakening of sensibilities, self-awareness and re-embrace of all that is noble, virtuous and humanistic, towards the much needed sanitization of our society in these unsettling times

(DEPARTMENT OF EDUCTIONAL MANAGEMENT, UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN , NIGERIA, 2014) Ajayi, o. Samson; Halima, Sarkin Fada; Shobayo, M. A
Building a peaceful and secure Africa should start from the home front of the constituting nations. Education remains the most vibrant means through which culture is transmitted from older generations to the younger ones. School culture has been regarded as the fulcrum through which other activities in school revolve. The objectives of this study were to identify the prevailing culture in the public schools as well the various aspects of student engagement. The study also sought to determine the relationship between the school culture factors and student engagement and investigate the predictive ability of the school culture on student engagement. A descriptive survey design was adopted. A total of 200 teachers and 200 students in 8 public schools completed School Culture Survey and Classroom Engagement Inventory respectively. Unity of purpose, learning partnership, and collegial support received higher rating. Students were found engaged more in behavioural engagement-effortful and cognitive dimensions. School culture factors were found not adequate in predicting student engagement. The results implied that school culture had no significant influence on student engagement. It is therefore recommended that teachers should be more proactive in discharging their professional functions in schools.

(KDU Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies, 2023-07-11) Monsurat Abiodun, Shobayo; Oluwagbemiga Samson, Ajayi; Joy Ifeoma, Ajero
The study investigated teachers’ understanding of student discipline in public secondary schools in Oyo State, Nigeria. It examined the public secondary school teachers’ knowledge of student discipline in the 21st century. It further determined the appropriateness of strategies adopted by teachers in enforcing discipline in schools and as well examined the challenges facing the enforcement of discipline in public secondary schools. The study adopted a survey design. The population of the study comprised all the public secondary school teachers in the Oyo central senatorial district of the state. The sample size comprised 200 senior secondary school teachers selected across public schools in the Oyo East Local Government Area of the state using a simple random sampling technique. A questionnaire titled Discipline Knowledge and Strategies Assessment Questionnaire (DKSAQ) was used to collect data for the study. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, and ranking were used to analyse the data. The results showed that public secondary school teachers had incomplete knowledge about student discipline in the 21st century. The results showed that secondary school teachers adopted both appropriate and non-appropriate discipline strategies. Students’ unfriendly home environments, parents’ inability to provide basic needs, and fear of reprisal from students or their gangs were some of the identified factors militating against the enforcement of discipline in schools. The study, therefore, concludes that public secondary school teachers’ knowledge of school discipline in the 21st century is inadequate and recommends that modalities through which teachers can have access to new knowledge and skills be put in place by their employers.
Parents and issues of sexuality education in the Nigerian secondary schools
(Indian Journal of Health, Sexuality and Culture, 2022-12-01) Monsurat Abiodun, Shobayo; Oluwagbemiga Samson, Ajayi
A cross-sectional survey was conducted to explore parents’ perspectives on sexuality education among 800 parents in Southwestern Nigeria. The data were collected via a validated questionnaire. The results showed that 82.9% of the parents supported sexuality education for both male and female children. The majority (82.3%) would have encouraged teachers to openly discuss sexuality education in the school with their children, while 17.8% opposed it. Parents expressed sexuality education to be handled by Health Education teachers (41.6%), Biology teachers (41.0%), and school guidance/counsellors (35.8%) than any other teachers in the schools. While gender ( = 8.577, p<.05) and location ( = 10.941, p<.05) significantly influenced parents’ perspectives of children’s sexual education, level of education did not. The study concludes that parents are increasingly embracing school-based sexuality education as appropriate for both male and female children but preferred it to be exclusively handled by relevant teachers within the school setting.
