Abstract: This study examines how Ibibio oral traditions, specifically folktales and myths, cultivate environmental awareness. While substantial research exists on the linguistic and anthropological aspects of these narratives, their ecological significance and potential contribution to modern sustainability conversations are often overlooked. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, this research gathered narratives from elders, storytellers, and cultural custodians in several Akwa Ibom State communities. Facts gathered from interviews and archival sources from 60 participants from the study area reveals that Ibibio stories are deeply embedded with ecological principles, addressing forest and water conservation, wildlife protection, and land stewardship. These lessons are conveyed not through direct instruction, but through moral sanctions, symbolism, and spiritual accountability. The study also finds that the transmission of this indigenous knowledge is threatened by urbanization and formal education. It concludes that Ibibio oral literature is a vital, though endangered, source of ecological wisdom. The paper recommends its documentation and integration into educational and environmental policy frameworks to preserve cultural heritage and promote locally relevant sustainability practices.

Keywords: Ibibio oral literature, environmental consciousness, folktales, myths, Indigenous knowledge, sustainability, Nigeria.

Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted among secondary school students (SS1–SS3). Data were collected using a semi-structured self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were summarized using frequencies and percentages. The study report also included linear regression analyses to examine whether sexual health education predicted attitudes/practices and whether information sources predicted SRH knowledge; statistical significance was reported using p-values.

Results: One hundred students participated (mean age 16.08 years); 57% were female. SRH concept awareness was high: 97% reported knowing what SRH means and 97% understood puberty changes. However, only 45% could identify sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Awareness of contraceptives was 60%, and 90% reported knowing how to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Attitudes were generally favorable: 94% agreed abstinence prevents STIs and pregnancy, and 83% reported that sexual health education helped delay sexual activity. Nonetheless, only 39% would consider contraceptive use if sexually active. Teachers (91%) and school seminars/workshops (90%) were the most common SRH information sources, followed by parents/guardians (84%) and the internet (64%). The study report indicated that sexual health education significantly influenced attitudes/practices (p=0.000) and that information sources significantly influenced knowledge (p=0.002).

Conclusion: School-based sexual health education was associated with positive attitudes and self-reported practices, but specific knowledge gaps (STIs) and low willingness to use contraception persisted. Strengthening comprehensive sexuality education, improving STI-specific content, engaging parents, and linking students to youth-friendly services are recommended.

Abstract: This study explored the influence of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) literacy on college students’ participation in climate change mitigation activities. Anchored on SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), the research highlights the role of education in fostering environmental awareness and sustainable practices. Using a descriptive-correlational design, purposive quota sampling was employed to survey 100 NSTP-enrolled students from the Department of Teacher Education. Data were collected through questionnaires assessing SDG literacy and participation in climate mitigation initiatives. Results revealed a high mean score for SDG literacy (M = 4.27, SD = 0.47) and similarly high participation in climate mitigation activities (M = 4.12, SD = 0.49). Among the dimensions, social perspective and knowledge of climate change obtained the highest mean scores. Statistical analysis indicated a strong positive correlation between SDG literacy and climate mitigation participation, accounting for 49.1% of the variance. These findings underscore the importance of integrating sustainability-focused education to enhance student engagement in environmental programs.

Keywords: SDG literacy, climate change mitigation, teacher education, environmental awareness, SDG 4, SDG 13.

Abstract: This research examined differences between urban and rural teachers in their participation in professional development programmes and their application of classroom management strategies in public secondary schools within Delta State, Nigeria. Prompted by increasing concerns about teachers’ continuous professional growth and effectiveness, the study concentrated on two main areas: the classroom management strategies in use and the extent of professional development engagement based on school location. Two research questions and two corresponding null hypotheses guided the investigation. The study adopted a descriptive survey design and targeted a total population of 11,988 teachers, from which 410 participants were selected through a multi-stage sampling procedure. Data collection was carried out using a validated and reliable instrument titled Teachers’ Professional Development and Classroom Management Strategies Questionnaire (TPDCMSQ). Descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, were applied to address the research questions, while independent t-tests were used to test the hypotheses at the 0.05 significance level. The results showed statistically significant differences between urban and rural teachers, both in their classroom management practices and in their levels of involvement in professional development activities. Descriptive statistics highlighted a general preference for reinforcement and relationship-building as key management techniques among both teacher groups. The study concluded that school location does have a significant influence in teachers’ approach to classroom management and in their engagement in professional learning. It recommended that policy makers promote diverse professional development activities that foster improved classroom management techniques applicable across and unique to urban and rural contexts to ensure equity and consistency in teaching effectiveness. It is hoped that improved classroom management techniques will foster increased students engagement and consequently improved teaching - learning process resulting in improved students’ academic achievement.

Keywords: Professional development, classroom management, urban-rural disparities, teacher effectiveness.

Résumé: Ce travail porte sur l’étude d’implantation d’un frein automatique de parking sur un véhicule automobile en prenant le véhicule Toyota hilux Vigo comme champ d’investigation. En effet, pour obtenir un meilleur fonctionnement du frein de parking ou de stationnement qui fait office de frein de secours, il faut des meilleures conditions ergonomiques pour une meilleure utilisation. Il est question dans cet article d’optimiser le blocage des roues lorsque le véhicule est à l’arrêt afin non seulement de rendre efficace le stationnement mais aussi améliorer l’utilisation du frein.

Concepts clés: véhicule automobile, frein automatique, parking.

Résumé : L’objectif de cette recherche est d’étudier les déficiences qui sont retrouvées dans les fiches de préparation des leçons et leur impact sur l’encadrement pédagogique des élèves des écoles secondaires techniques de la ville de Likasi en général et en particulier les établissements qui organisent la filière mécanique automobile. Au terme de la recherche, le constat est amer. En effet, nombreux sont les enseignements qui se complaisent dans des préparations bâclées, faites à la hâte. Pire encore d’autres se présentent dans les salles de classes sans avoir préparé leurs leçons et cela engendre la mauvaise qualité des enseignements et des apprentissages. Le résultat en est donc le sous- enseignement que l’on décrie tant.

Mots clés : déficiences, leçon, élèves, encadrement pédagogique

Abstract: The objective of this research is to study the deficiencies found in the lesson preparation sheets and their impact on the educational supervision of students in technical secondary schools in the city of Likasi in general and in particular the establishments which organize the automotive mechanics sector. At the end of the research, the observation is bitter. Indeed, many teachings indulge in sloppy, hasty preparations. Worse still, others show up in classrooms without having prepared their lessons and this leads to poor quality teaching and learning. The result is therefore the under-teaching that we decry so much.

Keywords: deficiencies, lesson, students, educational supervision.

Abstract: Organizational commitment is a vital factor in strengthening educational institutions through enhanced teacher performance, retention, and engagement. This study determined the best-fitting structural equation model of organizational commitment among public school teachers in Region XI, Philippines. Specifically, it examines the influence of four exogenous variables—professional development, quality of work life, work engagement, and work values—on the endogenous variable, organizational commitment. Employing a descriptive-correlational design using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the study surveyed 400 public school teachers selected through stratified random sampling. Results revealed very high levels of professional development, quality of work life, work engagement, and organizational commitment, while work values were rated high. Correlation analyses showed significant positive relationships between all four exogenous variables and organizational commitment. Further findings identified Model 3 as the best-fit model, which demonstrated direct causal relationships between the four exogenous variables and organizational commitment. After model modifications, professional development was best represented by thematic knowledge and educational technology. Quality of work life was measured by two indicators: organizational culture and climate, and training and development. Work engagement was described by two indicators: emotional engagement and social engagement with colleagues. Work values were measured by two indicators: social status of the job and upward striving. Organizational commitment was most accurately described by continuance and normative commitment. These findings offer a valuable foundation for policymaking and institutional reforms to improve teacher commitment and educational outcomes through teacher development programs. The study contributes to the pursuit of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 3 which promotes teachers’ well-being through healthy and supportive work environments, and SDG 4, which advocates inclusive and equitable quality education through the empowerment of teachers and the enhancement of professional practices.

Keywords: professional development, quality of work life, work engagement, work values, organizational commitment, SEM, Region XI, Philippines, SDG Indicators: #3 Good Health and Well-being; #4 Quality Education.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyse the impact of sustainable knowledge management and educational innovation in Nigerian higher education institutions. Nigeria, like other countries of the world, recognises education as the major instrument for effecting national development. Education is critical for the social, economic, and political development of Nigeria. These educational goals can be fully achieved if quality delivery is ensured in higher education in Nigeria. Higher education of good quality is critical for Nigeria to become globally competitive. This article identified and discussed the challenges of quality in higher education in Nigeria in the 21st century. The findings of this study reveal the need for sustainable knowledge management and innovation technology in the Nigerian higher education institutions. Lack of implementation of educational research findings, corruption in higher education institutions, lack of adequate electric power supply, and lack of sustainability are determinants for a major decline in the Nigerian higher education institutions. Also, the study’s analysis is motivated by the observation that, due to the increasing unpredictability of educational policy makers, corrupt practices, and the inability to implement research findings, the Nigerian higher education institution has suffered a lack of innovation. Therefore, the authors recommend that the Nigerian government should meet the 26 per cent education funding as recommended by UNESCO. Besides, reform in existing higher education institutions in Nigeria can be attained via collaborative efforts between the government and other sectors of the Nigerian economy.

Keywords: Nigerian higher education, knowledge management, educational innovation, and sustainability development.
