originality and uniqueness of ideas, concepts, techniques or skills that
possibly lead to production and innovation. Little attention is paid to
the uniqueness and originality of an idea but rather dominant on the
recall, repetition and reproduction of ideas, concepts, techniques or
skills. The research was guided by two research questions with
equivalent null hypotheses. Quasi-experimental design entailing
pretest and posttest was employed. This research's target population
comprises all senior secondary school students (SSS 3) in the State.
Two hundred sixty-seven students were selected using simple
random sampling through balloting. A Mathematical Creativity Test
(MCT) was employed to collect data. The instrument was validated
by the experts and reliability index was found to be 0.72 after pilot
testing. The data collected was sorted based on the dimension of
creativity as stated by Torrance. The data was analyzed using
independent sample t-test. The result indicated a significant
difference in the mean creativity score in favor of the experimental
group. While it further shows no gender disparity. The researchers
recommended that Van Hiele learning model should be embedded in
teaching mathematics concepts related to geometry such as longitude
and latitude as well as trigonometry.
The research “Availability, accessibility and usability of electronic-learning tools in north-west Nigeria universities amidst covid-19 and rural banditry” was guided by three (3) objectives and three (3) research questions. A cross-sectional survey research design was employed in the study. The study used both quantitative and qualitative methods for data collection. The population of the study were 175,928 participants comprising of 10,402 academic staffs and 165,526 undergraduate students in 17 public universities (federal and state own) in north-west, Nigeria. Cluster sampling technique was employed in selecting three (3) public universities as a sample. The entire sample chosen were 537 consisting of 31 academic staff and 506 undergraduate students in faculty of education from three (3) public universities in north-west, Nigeria. The instruments used were questionnaires for quantitative data collections and interview schedules for qualitative data collection. Frequency count, mean and simple percentage were used to answered the three (3) research questions stated. The major findings of the study revealed that, there was an adequate available, favourable access policies and moderate used of e-learning tools in teaching and learning at the universities of north-west Nigeria amidst covid-19 and rural banditry. Similarly, also it shows that some of the academic staffs and undergraduate students encountered different challenges in using e-learning tools for teaching and learning where by lack of constant electricity supply, bureaucratic bottleneck of the ICT centre’s administrator in terms of accessibility policy, lack of ICT skills, etc. are some of the Major challenges. Moreover, the study recommended that the university vice chancellors and head of ICT units should try to consider and suspend accessibility policy in usage of e-learning tools to enhance effective use of e-learning tools in the teaching and learning in universities.
