As the demand for admission in tertiary instructions rapidly outstripped available institutional space, it increasingly became doubtful whether the traditional institutions in their structure and resources capacity would cope with the aspiring thousands of Nigerians who sought tertiary education. Hence the need for distance education (National Open University of Nigeria) where those who are workers can snugly fit in also. The paper examines the students' perception of National Open University of Nigeria scheme using Calabar study centre as a case study. A sample of two hundred and fifty students was used and with a single hypothesis formulated, a t-test analysis of the scores derived from the respondents was done. The result shows that the calculated t was lesser than the critical t at 0.05 level of significance. Hence the conclusion that male and female students in National Open University of Nigeria, Calabar study centre do not differ in their perception of the scheme.
The study investigated the effect of cooperative small group instructional mode on the cognitive achievement of boys and girls in primary science. Eighty-two pupils (41 girls and 41 boys) were drawn from 2 randomly selected primary schools and from 2 intact primary 5 classes in Uyo Local Government Education Authority. The subjects were exposed to 5 weeks of instruction in selected science concepts from primary 5 curriculum module. Two modes of instruction used were the cooperative small group and the whole class instructional modes. Instrument for collecting the data was the Primary Science Achievement Test (PSAT). Data analysis involved the use of t-test statistic. Results revealed no statistically significant difference in the achievement of boys and girls in primary science. The paper claims that cooperative small group instructional mode could remove gender bias in female pupils' achievement in science.
