Eight hundred and two secondary school teachers from South West states of Nigeria served as the sample for the study. The Teachers in Politics through Mass Media Questionnaire with Cronbach coefficient alpha of 0.86 was used in the collection of data that was analyzed with t-test and Analysis of
Variance at a .05 significant level. The use of print and broadcast mass media in creating awareness about political parties’ activities and the electoral process had a combined effect on the teachers’ participation in political party activities.
Similarly, the use of print and broadcast mass media in creating awareness about the political parties’ activities and the electoral process had a combined effect on teachers’ participation in the electoral process, but the use of print and broadcast
mass media for awareness of the electoral process was a prominent predictor of teachers’ participation in the electoral process. In view of the above findings, it was however suggested amongst other things that teachers’ condition of service should be reviewed to encourage teachers’ comfortable and convenient living. Likewise, government should reduce the time span of the electoral process to reduce teachers’ rate of a

The Lecturers Perception Questionnaire (LPQ) and the Students perception Questionnaire with reliability coefficient of 0.75 and 0.82 respectively were used for the collection of data. The two null hypotheses generated for the study were tested at 0.05 alpha level using the ttest statistical tool. It was discovered that years of experienced played a major role in the perception of the less and highly experienced lecturers about the use of ClosedCircuit Television for effective communication in large classes. Students and lecturers were found to be positively unanimous in perception on the subject of the study. It was suggested that lecturers should not be phobic about achieving effective communication in large classes; rather, they should focus more on timely utilization of the appropriate technology that can enhance effective communication in large classes.

The sample involved a male teacher in a public secondary school teaching computer studies to 45 students. Data were collected qualitatively through video and audiotape recording. The data were transcribed and analysed descriptively. The findings of the study revealed that the teacher explored various repair strategies such as reformulation, repetition, clarification, elicitation, paralinguistic signal and explicit correction to prompt students' involvement in the classroom discourse. Implications of the findings to teaching were discussed and recommendations were made accordingly.

Three hundred and fifteen (315) undergraduates from the Faculty of Education of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Nigeria served as the sample for this study. The instruments used for the data collection were Computer Access and Usage Scale (CAUS) and Computer Proficiency Scale (CPS). The data collected were analysed using simple percentages, standard deviation, Analysis of Variance and Multiple regression statistics. Meanwhile, the findings revealed that gender, access to computer and computer usage jointly predicted the student's computer proficiency. However, gender had the least predictive power of the criterion variable. Recommendations based on the outcome of this study were highlighted in this paper.

A total of 1972 (Male=987, Female=985) students randomly selected from the two state-owned universities in Ogun State of Nigeria participated in the study. The data for the study were collected through the use of Students' Cognition Scale (SCS), Students' Emotion Scale (SES) and Students' Computer Frustration Scale (SCFS). Data analysis involved the use of mean and standard deviation as descriptive statistics as well as Pearson Product Moment Correlation and regression analysis as inferential statistics. The research findings revealed that students encountered various frustrating experiences during e-registration, when a combination of the predictor variables (cognition and emotion) significantly accounted for 2.5% to the variance of the students' level of frustration during e-registration. Meanwhile, cognition was found as the potent contributor of students' frustration during e-registration. The results of this study further indicated that there was a statistically significant difference in the level of computer frustration among students of different universities. Recommendations were made according to the findings of the study.

differences in primary school teachers’ use of Information and Electronic Technologies for stress management. 706
primary school teachers (176 males, and 530 females) with (Mean Age= 34.7; SD = 8.52), from Ogun-East senatorial
district of Ogun-state, Nigeria constituted the sample of the study. Meanwhile, three research hypotheses that guided
the study were tested at 0.05 level of significance using t-test and Analysis of Variance. Technology Usage and Job
Stress Scale was used to collect the data. The results showed that teachers’ use of Information and Electronic
Technologies for stress management was not gender driven, while academic qualification and marital status of the
teachers influenced their use of Information and Electronic Technologies as stress coping strategy. By implication,
the findings of this study direct that teachers should be responsive to the increasing technological innovations that
serve as preventive and proactive coping strategy that will minimized excess workload that have direct and indirect
ripple effects on teachers’ mental and physical health as well as quality of education

This study examined the predictive power of teachers' perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU), behavioural intention (BI) to use Personal Response System (PRS) and computer experience (CE) on teachers' acceptance and attitude towards using PRS in improving communicative competence in the classroom where English is taught as a second language (ESL). Seventeen (17) teachers constituted the sample for the study. A self-report questionnaire and a semi-structured interview-guide were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics such as simple percentage, mean and standard deviation as well as inferential statistics such as Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple regression were used for data analysis at 0.05 significance level. Results indicated that teachers were generally positively disposed to integrating PRS in ESL classrooms. Moreover, teachers' disposition was not significantly dictated by gender. Except for CE, constructs like PU, PEU and BI showed significant positive correlation with attitude to PRS. The results of regression analysis indicated that the set of variables combined to predict teachers' acceptance and attitude towards using PRS. Relatively, PU was the potent predictor of the dependent variable.

It touches every aspect of human life including politics, economy, arts and culture, and education. From ticketing at train stations, operating a television set, reaching out through the general system of mobile communication (GSM), to booking and paying for an airline’s flight, and many more, there is hardly any activity that can be accomplished in today’s world where some level of technological know-how would not be required. The twenty first century is therefore justifiably described as ‘the age of technology’ in view of its increasing technological transformation of human life.
