Abstract: An action research was carried out to create a condition for a class of Year 6 students in their early-middle childhood stage to individually and collectively improve their learning by developing higher-order critical thinking skills in the Environmental Studies (ES) subject. In applying the Six Thinking Hats method, with the incorporation of the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy, an active teaching and learning process was seen in the enquiry classroom. Mixed methods of both quantitative and qualitative were conducted in this study to explore and identify the effectiveness of the Six Hats in encouraging higher-order thinking skills and enhancing learners' interests, leading to better academic performances. While results proved the concept to be a successful thinking skill strategy, learners' interests differed in relation to a range of different factors such as values and attitude. Then again, positive responses were seen in pupils' academic progress. Recommendations are thence made regarding these features to maximize learning outcomes and for further research.

Abstract: With the advent of Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization, the students of higher education are the vital Human Resources and playing a significant role to achieve a tremendous success in the development of a country. The teaching methodology which is used within a higher education course is an important ingredient in creating a course with soul-stirring interest to students. Today's competitive world demands good quality education. In order to fulfill the aspirations of the present day fast changing society, efficient resource management, development of quality of higher education are required which is possible by Virtual Learning. Virtual Learning provides good communication skills, teamwork, effective time management, critical appraisal skills, research ability, long term learning capacity, application and to sustain a quality culture as internal and organizational parameter as well as learning management. Many studies report the virtual learning environment as more effective, efficient and satisfying than the traditional learning situation. In Paschim Medinipur, higher education is faced with great challenges and difficulties. A recent study shows that, here the student community has least aspire to be empowered and endowed with knowledge, skills, application and competitiveness to compete in the global society.

Abstract: Some schools appear with warm and pleasant atmosphere where students feel independent. But in some other schools it is hostile and prison like, where students and teachers are in strain at all times. There are schools with good building, play ground, good Library and Laboratory facilities, and they provide many opportunities to the students to participate in activities according to their taste and thus they can develop their talents. On the other hand there are schools where some or all these facilities are denied to the students. Such a difference in the school atmosphere can have serious effects on students, attitude towards schools and their achievement.

Abstract: The work is the use of audio-visual resources in Colleges of Education in Benue State: with specific reference to the College of Education, Katsina-Ala. The study was based on achieving the following purposes: To evaluate how the library meets the needs of the teachers in supply of audio-visual materials; the types and quality of audio-visual materials available in the college, their frequencies of use and inhibitions and finally what steps the librarian has taken in promoting or creating an awareness of the available audio-visual resources in the library. Two sets of questionnaires were administered to lecturers and staff in order to elucidate the needed information. The researcher also went to the college to observe and also to administer the questionnaire. Through the questionnaire and observation made by the researcher, data were collected, organized and analysed using non-parametric statistical techniques like percentages and frequencies; mean was also used in research question three for easy analysis and discussion because of the number of the items involved. It was finally discovered that:The College collection of audio-visual materials is fairly adequate. The lecturers in the college rarely use audio-visual resources in teaching. The chalkboard is the only audio-visual material frequently used by the lecturers. Non-availability, lack of supporting infrastructures and human factors are hindrances to the use of audio-visual aids in the college. There are numerous benefits that students derive from the use of audio-visual aids. The awareness of available audio-visual resources created by the librarian is not impressive.

Abstract: This research work examined the use of kitchen resources in the teaching of Thermochemistry to SS2 Chemistry students in rural and urban schools. Kitchen resources were used to perform experiments; fermentation of five sample of fruit juices, heating capacities of five samples of wood, induced thermal decomposition of five samples of shellfish shell powder and dissolution of five samples of glucose. A total of 100 senior secondary two chemistry students were involved in the study. There were 60 males and 40 females from two secondary schools in Ikom Local Government Areas in Cross River State, Nigeria. A pre-test post-test design was used for the study. Chemistry Achievement Test (Cat) was used to collect data for the study Kinder Richardson Formula 21 was used to establish reliability of Cat. The result gave a reliability coefficient of 0.84. Analysis of covariance and descriptive statistics was used for data analysis. Findings showed a non-significant difference in relation to school location and gender. It was recommended that teachers be innovative and resourceful using materials in the kitchen to teach as resources in Chemistry classes.This is so as location does not affect learning but materials used in teaching.
