Full textAbstract:
Purpose: This work examined Business-Information Technology Alignment and Sustainability of State-Owned Tertiary Institutions in Rivers State, Nigeria. The objective was to investigate the relationship between strategy-driven alignment and sustainability of state-owned tertiary institutions in Rivers State, Nigeria.
Methodology: To achieve this, two research questions and hypotheses were designed to guide the study. The population for this work comprised 1,224 staff between grade level 11 and above in the five state-owned tertiary institutions in Rivers State. The sample size of this study consisted of 302 selected using the Taro-Yamane sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was the questionnaire. The test for the internal regularity of the instrument was conducted using Spearman Rank Order correlation. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions; Statistical Package for Social Science out version 23.0 was used to test the null hypotheses.
Findings: It was found that strategy-driven alignment significantly influenced the sustainability of quality service delivery of the state-owned tertiary institutions in Rivers State, Nigeria; the study therefore concluded that adopting the concept of business-information technology alignment will invariably result to sustainability in tertiary institutions.
Recommendation: The study recommended among other things that: Federal and state governments as well as tertiary institution’s management should, as a matter of urgency, develop credible strategy-driven alignment approach that will ensure that the unique objectives of the tertiary institutions are derived seamlessly while using IT, that tertiary institution management should fore-handily train all IT staff on the objectives of the institution so that everyone in IT has a visceral understanding of the institutions intention with regards to quality service delivery.

Purpose Abandonment of construction projects is still a burning issue in Nigeria. Beside the poor financing of educational infrastructure, abandonment of construction projects remains a significant contributor to the inadequacy of facilities in Nigerian public tertiary educational institutions. The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to assess the causes of abandoned projects specific to public institutions of tertiary education in Nigeria, with a view to providing empirical data that are generalizable to enhancing successful delivery of teaching and research facilities. Design/methodology/approach Primary data used for the study were obtained through questionnaires administered to 47 professionals comprising 8 architects, 12 mechanical and electrical engineers, 15 civil/structural engineers, 4 builders and 8 quantity surveyors who were involved in physical development of construction projects in public tertiary educational institutions in Osun State. The data were analyzed using mean analysis, factor analysis and the Kruskal-Wallis (K-W) test. Findings The factors most significant to abandonment of tertiary educational institutional projects were delayed payments, fund mismanagement, inadequate budgetary allocation, inadequacy of finance, inflation and bankruptcy of the contractor. Findings also showed that not all factors causing abandonment were significant to tertiary institutional projects. The significant factors clustered under stakeholders’ response capacity, poor financial management, inadequate planning and monitoring, and unexpected occurrences. The K-W test showed significant differences among the categories of tertiary institutions on the ranking of the most significant causes of abandoned projects. Research limitations/implications The study was limited to public tertiary educational institutions in Osun State. Further studies could focus on public health institution projects and private tertiary educational projects to improve the body of knowledge on the subject of causative factors for project abandonment. Practical implications The study provided implications for effective contract management of public tertiary educational institutional projects, which is a significant step to improving the available teaching and research facilities in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Originality/value The study provides implications for effective contract management systems of projects for public tertiary educational institutions, thereby improving the available teaching and research facilities.

This paper focuses on corruption in tertiary institutions and how it can be tackled through introducing courses and approaches via curriculum development that will build integrity among students, as well as, institutional quality through citizenship and social cohesion. The paper also discussed the concept of corruption, forms of corruption, causes and corruption in tertiary institutions such as bribery, fraud, embezzlement, favouritism, nepotism, among others and its implication for curriculum development in the country. In order to check and eliminate corruption in tertiary institutions, the paper recommended that, social studies, citizenship and value education should be implemented in tertiary institutions to teach about the negative effects of corruption and to create resilience against corrupt practices. Also, stakeholders in education should organize conferences in tertiary institution to re-orientate them on the dangers of corruption with the action statement ‘‘change begins with me’’ in our educational system, effective classroom implementation of curriculum content and the introduction of courses that will imbibe moral consciousness in the business of education at the tertiary level.

The impact of globalization on tertiary educational institutions (TEIs) in Ghana demands that they (TEIs) harness and leverage knowledge from the global knowledge basket to remain competitive. This paper examines the concept of knowledge management (KM) and how it is being managed in Ghana's TEIs for institutional advancement. The key challenges identified include the corporatisation of academic faculties, weak structures for KM, the intrusion of 'managerialism' as a style of leadership, absence of strong teamwork in knowledge creation and dissemination, and the erosion of the spirit of collegiality in academic staff relations. Suggestions made for the enhancement of knowledge management processes in TEIs include making adequate budgetary allocations for KM and integrating KM centres in established structures of TEIs. The paper concludes that knowledge is an indispensable asset for institutional advancement in higher education and therefore, TEIs should invest in the area to remain competitive globally.

Nowadays more and more pronounced demand for tertiary education appears as an output of the labor market and the real labor market needs coordination of intention. A necessary condition for the long-term sector strategies, conscious coordination. In Hungary – the sector management level – headed tertiary education training structure and the transformation of the institutional network. There is a close relationship between training supply and research and development potential, as an institution typically the same disciplinary education and research base continues. Based on this, we assume that the structure of the training may influence the development of the restructuring of the research and development potential as well. The institutional network reorganization (merger, liquidation, establishment of new institutions) is expected to result in a former spatial structure of tertiary education in the modification, which in itself is a training and research supply spatial rearrangement may apply. Against this background, questions have been raised as to how the objectives in the current tertiary education strategy for economic operators serving the needs of each territorial unit, how the institution fits into network transformation of economic structure and labor market needs of the regions.
In order for the Hungarian tertiary education can meet the requirement for industry standards, an essential part of the structure of industries, and the changes occurring in the economic structure, trends and industry relations in the investigation. On the other hand, we do not ignore those factors are not, which have a determining influence on the tertiary education institutions in training and R&D supply. As part of this study in tertiary education institutions will be examined possible factors influencing education, research and development demand and supply, which gets a prominent role in the economic structure of relations between the territorial dimension in the evolution of discount factors and the nature of particular sectors.

Full textAbstract:
This paper focuses on sport as panacea for cultism in Nigerian tertiary institutions. The vices that stigmatized the tertiary institutions today are traceable to the uncontrolled behaviour of students. School authorities and concerned government over the years have applied measures to check the excesses of students in tertiary institutions without noticeable success. Sports stand to provide the needed solution to these linger problems of cultism in tertiary institutions. Sports is perceived as wholesome pursuits for students in tertiary institution which channel their thinking and disposition toward worthwhile goal. Sports provide students the opportunity to cultivate sportsmanship qualities, which is necessary for school discipline. The paper focused on the educational values of sports to include self discipline and control, obedience to and co-operation with constituted authorities among others. Similarly, sports provide students with safety value of letting off excessive energies, which ordinarily could have been mischievously channeled towards acts that are opposed to school discipline. The sports programme organization in schools were highlighted the components of a sound sports programmes in Nigerian te rtiary institutions from which students can benefit in building up desirable behaviour were also discussed. Finally, recommendations were made on how participation in sports by students can help solve the problems of cultism activities in tertiary institutions.

Employee job satisfaction and organisational commitment are directly influenced by leadership styles. Despite the fact that the good elements of leadership have already been explored, the bad sides of leadership must be addressed as well. This study examined the relationship between school toxic leadership, teachers’ job satisfaction and organisational commitment in Lagos State tertiary institutions. Two hypotheses were set to serve as guides for the study. Correlational and descriptive research designs were adopted while the population comprised all lecturers in Lagos State owned tertiary institutions. The sample size was 240 lecturers after stratifying the population into the institutions nomenclature and thereafter selected through purposive sampling technique. Analysis was carried out using inferential statistics of Pearsons Product-Moment Correlation Analysis. Findings indicated that a negative relationship existed between toxic leadership and teachers’ job satisfaction in Lagos State tertiary institutions and also a negative relationship existed between toxic leadership and organisational commitment in Lagos State tertiary institutions. According to the findings of the study, toxic leadership exists in Lagos State higher institutions.

This study determined the administrative staff rating of the adequacy of accommodation in tertiary institutions in Yobe State. Two research questions guided the study and two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The design of the study was descriptive survey. Population of the study was 1,032 administrative staff of federal and state tertiary institutions in the study area. A proportionate sampling was used to select a sample size of 310 administrative staff. A structured questionnaire containing 15 items validated by three experts was used for data collection. Cronbach alpha method was used to establish the internal consistency of the instrument. Correlation coefficients of 0.83 and 0.81 for two clusters (B1 and B2) with an overall coefficient of 0.82 were obtained.Two hundred and ninety eight duly completed copies of the instrument were retrieved and used for data analysis. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions and to determine the homogeneity of the respondents’ ratings while the t-test was used to test the hypotheses. Findings revealed that administrative staff of tertiary institutions in Yobe State rated office accommodation and conveniences in their offices lowly adequate. The findings also showed that ownership of tertiary institution was a significant factor on the mean ratings of administrative staff on the adequacy of accommodation while ownership of tertiary institution significantly did not influence their mean ratings on the adequacy of conveniences provided in their offices. Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that researcher concluded that there is need to improve the provision of office accommodation and conveniences in tertiary institutions in Yobe State, Nigeria. It was recommended among others that, administrators of tertiary institutions in Yobe State should collaborate more with private sectors in the areas of office accommodation and conveniences provision. This will encourage the private sectors to support the universities by providing some of these infrastructures to the institutions.

INTRODUCTION: Anecdotal evidence of increasing competition for field education placements has raised concerns about the availability of quality learning opportunities for students and so it was considered timely to examine stakeholder perspectives.METHOD: In late 2014, 15 tertiary educators from 11 tertiary institutions and 31 social work students from three Aotearoa New Zealand tertiary institutions engaged with the researcher in individual or focus group interviews on aspects of quality field education.FINDINGS: Overall, the tertiary educators revealed considerable pressure on them to secure quality student placements due to competition with other tertiary providers, limited placement opportunities in some locations, high workloads and inadequate funding. Students recognised these pressures but questioned whether the educators are adequately supported by the tertiary institution. Placement availability was also affected by organisations experiencing funding pressures, placement fatigue, limited space and physical resources, and high workloads.CONCLUSIONS: These qualitative findings raise questions for all the key stakeholders in field education: tertiary institutions, educators, social service organisations, the professional associations, the regulatory body and students. The findings from this study signal the need for a comprehensive, sector-wide examination of the social work field education context in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The study examined information and communication technologies usage among agricultural students of tertiary institution in Southwest of Nigeria. Multistage sampling procedure was used to select 300 agricultural students from tertiary institutions. Structured questionnaire was employed to elicit information on students’ socioeconomic characteristics, availability of ICTs, accessibility and purposes of ICTs usage. Data were subjected to percentage, chi-square, the Pearson Product Moment Correlation and the Analysis of variance at p=0.05. Findings revealed that the most available ICTs among students were internet and mobile phone (95.0%) respectivelywhile they had access to mobile phone (Weighted Mean (WM)=0.58) and radio (WM=0.51), they used ICTs for information (WM=0.77), academics (WM=0.70) and entertainment (WM=0.70) purposes; with high level of availability (71.0%), access (56.7%) and ICTs usage purpose (51.3%) respectively. There were significant relationships between respondents’ monthly stipend (r=0.200), state of institution (χ2=8.000), religion (χ2=222.660), marital status (χ2=211.680), category of students’ programme (χ2= 320.4608), type of institution (χ2=56.000) and their purposes for using ICTs but with a significant difference across the states (F=23.821; p=0.00). Students used ICTs for information, academic and entertainment purposes based on their age and type of their institutions. Since ICTs are used for beneficial purposes, it is recommended that ICTs should be adapted, applied and incorporated into tertiary institutions’ curricula across the nation.

The Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education or UniFAST is the government agency in charge of implementing the Universal Access to Quality Tertiratry Education Act (RA 10931). The UniFAST was created in 2015 by virtue of RA 10687 as a system to unify existing government student financial assistance programs for Tertiary Education in the Philippines. It will ensure that deserving Filipinos are given equitable access to educational opportunities. One of these, the Tertiary Education Subsidy or TES. Subsidy as a form of financial assistance plays an important role to augment financial incapacities of students enrolled in Higher Education Institutions or HEIs (Avery, 2014). Through RA 10931 which was passed into law on August 3, 2017, the citizens were allowed full access to quality education by providing adequate funding and increasing participation rate in the tertiary education. This further gives chances to the poor but deserving students to reach their goals and finish a degree. The Implementing Rules and regulations (IRR) of this law recognizes the complementary roles of public and private Higher Educations Institutions and Technical-Vocational Institutions in the tertiary education system, and the invaluable contribution of private tertiary institutions to the education system. As been embedded in our Philippine Constitution, the quality education is an inalienable right of all Filipinos and it is the policy of the State to protect and promote the rights of students to quality education at all levels.

Full textAbstract:
Initially, research regarding student admission to fields of study at tertiary training institutions focused primarily on a search for mechanisms to decrease the number of at-risk students significantly – an extremely complex matter. Recent changes in South African society compel tertiary institutions to reflect on their own character and aims in an innovative way. At the moment the focus is mainly on possible ways of giving the traditionally disadvantaged part of South African society a fairer chance of gaining access to, and achieving success at tertiary institutions. The pressure on tertiary institutions to ensure that the demography of the student population becomes more representative of the population in general is increasing dramatically. Since the ratio black : white students who are admitted to these courses is still totally unsatisfactorily (to the disadvantage of black students) and not at all in line with the aims of the government, student selection in fields of study such as Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering and Psychology will probably remain in the firing line in the foreseeable future. In this article, the researchers investigate the achievement of senate-discretionary students at the Education Faculty of the University of Pretoria and arrive at the conclusion that neither a minimum M score of 11, nor an admission test score accurately predicts success at a tertiary institution. Outcomes-based Education and changing ways of assessing and ‘scoring’ in Grade 12 create an even more complex situation. In order to facilitate the escalating challenge of fair selection and admission to tertiary institutions, a national two-year strategy is advocated.

Full textAbstract:
Tertiary education institutions are established to provide quality post-secondary education. Tertiary education institutions have established quality assurance units to guarantee that clients are served appropriately according to predefined quality indicators. Despite this guarantee, the quality of tertiary education is being questioned. This paper discusses the quality of tertiary education largely from the perspective of clients. It explores the concept of quality, examines a model of the path to quality tertiary education, and states the challenges of institutional massification with respect to quality. The discussion points to the key roles of leadership and management and institutional massification play in student engagement. Leadership and management have to set the stage for the process of achieving quality tertiary education, and sustain the process by harnessing human and material resources to meaningfully engage students. Leadership provides the physical infrastructure, recruits qualified staff, operationalizes sound employability and entrepreneurship strategies, and creates a democratic environment to promote accountability and productivity. At the heart of quality tertiary education is good student engagement. While massification has improved access and equity, it has put pressure on physical infrastructure and staff and reduced the quality of student engagement.

The study sought to examine how public tertiary educational institutions in Ghana can make use of organizational learning in order to improve upon their performance. Although organizational learning has proven to be beneficial to some organizations, it is not being utilized by public tertiary educational institutions in Ghana. The phenomenological research methodology was used to describe the experiences of the researcher in relation to the subject. Secondary data was also reviewed and analysed. The study concluded that for public tertiary educational institutions in Ghana to benefit from organizational learning, they must fully embrace Information Communication Technology while appointing leaders who understand the need to adopt organizational learning as a means of encouraging teamwork.

Full textAbstract:
The study was necessitated by the need to provide strategies for effective protection of electrical installations in tertiary institutions in Rivers State. Three research questions and hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The entire population of 109 security guards in tertiary institution in Rivers State was studied without sampling. A structured questionnaire validated by experts was used for data collection. Cronbach Alpha reliability method was used to establish the internal consistency of the items which yielded an overall coefficient of 0.79. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while ANOVA was used to test the hypotheses at .05 level of significance. Findings revealed that security guards agreed that solar powered security lights, camera and alarm system are effective strategies for the protection of electrical installations in tertiary institutions in Rivers State and year of experience did not significantly influence there opinion. It concluded that the adoption of these strategies will provide effective protection of electrical installations. The study recommended among others that, Management of tertiary institutions should be encourage to install solar powered security lights, cameras and alarm system in all critical electrical installations in their institutions.

Full textAbstract:
The paper investigates whether or not parents influence their children’s choice for tertiary institution to attend. Education has increasingly become more important in this present age to the extent that, without higher qualifications, employment and success become very difficult to achieve. Parents are trying to send their children to tertiary institutions so that these children will be employable. But the question is: Do parents choose the tertiary institutions for their children? The paper wants to find out whether or not parents have a say in their children’s choice for tertiary institution; and if so, look at factors that could play in the choice. A survey was conducted at the University of Venda from February 2015 to June 2015 and 500 students were conveniently sampled and interviewed. Using some statistical analyses, including Generalized Linear Modelling (GLM), the study concludes that age and the campus environment are the only factors that determine parents’ influence on their children’s choice for higher education. The study further shows that female students are more influenced by their parents than males in the choice of higher institution.

Full textAbstract:
One defect that is easily noticed among some students of university, polytechnic or college of education in Nigeria in contemporary time is their inability to communicate effectively in both spoken and written English even though they are taught English for Academic Purposes (EAP) either in form of “Use of English” or “General English” depending on the institution before they graduate. Linguistic scholars have considered the defect as one of the major factors responsible for poor academic performance among some students of tertiary institutions in Nigeria. In recognition of this fact, this paper primarily reviewed the state of affairs with regard to the implementation of the EAP curriculum in tertiary institutions and pointed out some of the anomalies. The paper, however, highlighted some measures considered to be adequate and appropriate for the effective implementation of the EAP curriculum in tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
Philosophy of education sets out a guideline to an educational system and/or institution. By the philosophy of education, a direction of the educational system and institution is identified. And the philosophy of education itself brings in a basis to define principles of realization as well as to keep all institutional activities in alignment with the philosophy of education. Thus, the philosphy of education is so important and indispensable to an educational system and institution. Moreover, it is the reciprocal relationship between the educational philosphy and its principles which forms up institutional activities in line with the direction set by the educational philosophy. As one of the early tertiary institutions of Binh Duong Province, Binh Duong University provided the province in particular and the country in genral with around 40,000 bachelors, engineers and masters during its 20-year function. One of the factors to account for the school’s success lies in its educational philosphy and follow-up principles upon the basis of 4Hs (study-ask-understand-act) in the process to create responsible citizens of 4Ts (resonsibility for oneself, responsibility for family, responsibility for society, responsibility for nature) towards the open world. As one of the early tertiary institutions of Binh Duong Province, Binh Duong University provided the province in particular and the country in genral with around 40,000 bachelors, engineers and masters during its 20-year function.

Full textAbstract:
Physical activity behaviors tend to decline while weight gain and psychological distress tend to increase during college. Physical education requirements (PERs) can help college students acquire and practice healthy lifestyle skills while overcoming barriers to unhealthy behaviors, shaping positive and healthy future habits. The majority of colleges and universities in the U.S. throughout the 20th century developed and implemented PERs; however, in the early 21stcentury, they dropped to an all-time low of 39%. Since their all-time high of 97% during the 1920s/1930s, a downward trend has been observed. The purpose of this study was to examine the current status of PERs in Oregon’s 2-year and 4-year institutions (N = 35). Results revealed that only 14.29% (i.e., 5 of 35) of Oregon’s institutions fully required PERs, while 28.57% (i.e., 10 of 35) did not require PERs for graduation. The majority of the sample (57.14%; i.e., 20 of 35) partially required physical education courses, meaning that not all degrees offered at the institution listed a PER or it was an option among a list of choices. Whereas all 2-year colleges required partial (n = 17) PERs, the majority of 4-year institutions did not require PERs (n = 10). Given the downward trend, there is an urgent need for updated state and national data on the status of PERs in U.S. colleges. Such data could help those in kinesiology and other wellness-related disciplines better advocate for the continuation of PERs and/or to understand the factors associated with their successful continuation.

AbstractObjective:To review experience with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in tertiary acute-care teaching hospitals on the Canadian prairies.Design:Retrospective review for a 36-month period, 1990 through 1992.Setting:Five tertiary acute-care teaching hospitals in three Canadian prairie provinces.Methods:MRSA isolates and susceptibility were identified through the clinical microbiology laboratory at each institution. For each patient, data collected included duration of institutional residence prior to isolation, patient ethnic background, age, sex, and antimicrobial susceptibility. Epidemiologic typing of strains used restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.Results:Two hundred fifty-nine MRSA isolates were identified in 135 patients during the 36 months, with substantial institutional variation in number of isolates. No consistent increase in yearly numbers of isolates was apparent. Patients usually had MRSA identified at admission (62%); only one of five centers had the majority of isolates acquired nosocomially. Patients with MRSA present at admission were more frequently of aboriginal (First Nations) ethnicity (62% compared with 14% of nosocomial; P<0.001). Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of 167 isolates from 135 patients revealed 46 different strains with little interprovincial or inter-institutional identity of strains.Conclusions:MRSA isolated in patients in tertiary care institutions in these three Canadian provinces usually is acquired prior to admission. A disproportionate number of isolates are identified in aboriginal Canadians. Epidemiologic typing was consistent with a polyclonal origin of MRSA in this geographic area.

Within the conditions of rapid development of internationalization processes, the scale of international cooperation between tertiary educational institutions is growing at a quick rate. Currently, the practice of international cooperation between tertiary educational institutions is the most commonly encountered in the form of: international exchange of apllicants of tertiary education (students), teachers (educators), scientists; holding conferences, round tables, symposiums; exchange of information and data on improving the efficiency of the educational process. Therefore, the list of the above mentioned types of international cooperation between tertiary educational institutions is not exhaustive and is constantly updated. Based on the foregoing, the aim of the scientific article is to study the theoretical and practical aspects of international cooperation among tertiary educational institutions in the framework of determining current trends and future prospects for the development of such relations. Methods of analysis, synthesis, observation, description and comparison have been used to disclosure the theoretical and practical aspects of international cooperation among tertiary educational institutions in the framework of determining current trends and future prospects for the development of such relations. The scientific article has discussed and analyzed the dynamics of the students’ mobility from abroad, enrolled in tertiary education, as well as the level of students’ mobility in areas of the corresponding level of higher education in such countries, as: Germany, the Czech Republic and Sweden. The peculiarities of the functioning of the following international networks and university wide projects and platforms have been determined, namely: ACCESS, CALIE, European University Association, Eutopia, Inspireurope, International Association of Universities, MIRAI, Nordic Association of University Administrators, Nordic Centre India, Nordic Centre Fudan University, Nordic Institute of Asian Studies, SGroup European Universities’ Network, SANORD, Scholars at risk, SASUF, which have been formed as a result of international cooperation among tertiary educational institutions. According to the data of the European University Association, it has been established that tertiary educational institutions of Ukraine also take an active part in the system of international cooperation. For instance, 26 tertiary educational institutions of Ukraine act as Individual Full Members and Individual Associate Members of the European University Association. It has been established that the basic areas of international cooperation among tertiary educational institutions include: the development of international mobility in the framework of the exchange not only of students, but also of educators, researchers, and administrative staff; joint teaching and investigation activities; research cooperation.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the determinants of sports participation in extramural competition by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Descriptive research design of the survey type was used for this study. The population of the study comprised all athletes in 5 private and 4 public tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. The research is descriptive because it is concerned with the collection of data for the purpose of describing and interpreting existing condition on practice, beliefs, and attitude regarding athletes’ participation in sporting activities. The choice of this design is aimed at collecting data on and observing in systematic manner, the characteristics, feature of facts about determining factor to sports participation by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. Therefore, this design is considered appropriate for this study. The sample of this study comprised 300 athletes selected from tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. Proportional stratified random sampling technique was used to select 3 publics institutions and 1 private institution in Ekiti State while simple random sampling technique was used to select athletes from each institution which comprised 125 Ekiti State University athletes, 75 Federal Polytechnic athletes, 50 College of Education athletes and 50 Afe Babalola University Athletes, making a total of 300 athletes selected altogether. A questionnaire developed by the researcher titled ‘Athletes Sports Participation Questionnaire (ASPQ)’ was used to elicit information for the study. The questionnaire is made up of four (4) sections, A, B, C and D. Section A was used to collect bio data of respondents (to include age, level, Department, Faculty and name of institution). Section B addressed participation level of the respondents in extramural sports competitions such frequency of participation in the last 4 years and the type of sporting events performed. Section C was used to measure the level of availability of standard sports facilities such as soccer field, basketball court, volleyball court, handball court, hockey pitch, badminton court, athletic track, athletic field, swimming pool, cricket pitch and tennis courts. To determine the respondents view in this section, ordinal scale of ‘available and not-available responses were used. Section D was designed to address determinant of participation variables such as provision of incentives by institutions. To determine the respondents’ views in this section D, four points likert scale type of responses raging from Strongly Agree (SA) 4 points, Agree (A) 3 points, Disagree (D) 2 points and Strongly Disagree (SD) 1 point was specified against each item. In order to ensure face and content validity of the instrument, a draft copy of the instrument was presented to experts in sports administration as well as Tests, Measurement and Evaluation for criticism, correction and modification. The copy of corrected and modified version of the instrument was prepared for final use. The reliability of the instrument was ascertained through pilot study, which involved 20 copies of the instrument administered on the respondents in Federal University Oye which is not part of the selected institutions. The internal consistency (or reliability) of the instrument was established. This was done by test-retest procedure in which the version of the instrument was administered on the earlier selected sample. At the interval of two weeks, the same instrument was re-administered on the same set of respondents. The scores of the two tests (i.e. test and re-test) were correlated using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Analysis and the reliability coefficients of 0.67 was obtained. This was adjudged to be high enough for the study. Specifically, this study examined the level of participation in extramural sports by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State; determined the extent to which availability of sports facilities improve participation in extramural sports by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State and determined the extent to which availability of coaches improve participation in extramural sports by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. The findings of the result also shown that availabiity of standard facilities accounted for about 2.4% (R2 ×100) of the proportion of variability in sports participation by athletes.Thus, availability of facilities significantly determine sports participation by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. The findings of the result also indicates that attitude of coaches only account for 0.6% (R2 ×100) of the proportion of variability in sports participation by athletes. Therefore, attitude of coaches is not a significant determinant of participation in extramuralsports by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti state. The findings of the result further showed that Attitude of coaches explained not less than 7.6% (R2 ×100) of the proportion of variability in sports participation by athletes. Thus, availability of coaches significantly determined sports participation in extramural sports by athletes in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. Based on the findings of this study, it was concluded that the available facilities in tertiary institutions in Ekiti State are basketball court, tennis courts, volley ball court, soccer field, athletic track, hand ball court, athletic field and badminton court while swimming pool, hockey pitch, cricket pitch and gymnasium were less available facilities; it was also concluded that, availability of standard facilities, availability of coaches, parental influence and peer influence determines participation in extramural sports by athletes. It was further concluded that, attitude of coaches, provision of sports incentives and lecturers’ attitude to sports that could be expected to determine participation in sports by athletes are not sufficient condition for participation in extramural competitions in tertiary institutions. No single tertiary institution stand the better chance to participate more than the other because the condition of facilities and equipment are almost the same. Therefore, it was recommended based on the findings of the study that Sports coaches should be encouraged to develop attitude that conform with the rules and regulation guiding their professsion. This will enable them to inculcate the spirit of sportmanship in atheltes during their training period and also Sports week should be offically launched in all tertiary institutions to encouraged athletes mass participation in sports. Sports Participation Taskforce should be authorised by the institutions to ensure compliance from the lecturers who usually engage student during sports lecture free periods.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents and focuses on the Institutional Support Questionnaire (ISQ) that was developed and validated to complement the Learning Needs Questionnaire (LNQ). While the LNQ, validated and published earlier, assessed students’ perceived learning needs, the ISQ assesses students’ psychological perspectives of their institution, particularly how they perceive their institution supports their learning. Both questionnaires work in tandem to support resource optimisation efforts in establishing targeted academic support structures within teaching-focused tertiary institutions. This study found that the 42-item ISQ had adequate psychometric properties and that institutional support could be represented by four factors (i.e., academic competency support, teaching practices, tutors’ characteristics, and use of technology in instruction) that reflected in large part the factors characterised by the LNQ (i.e., perceived academic competency, time management, preferred tutors’ characteristics, and use of technology). Practical applications of the use of both the ISQ and LNQ (i.e., how both could be applied in a tertiary education setting to identify perceived students’ learning needs and whether an institution is providing adequate support to meet these needs) and limitations on their use are discussed.

The sample for this study consisted of 1,324 academic staff selected from 12 public tertiary institutions (Federal and State) in the Southwest, Nigeria. Multi – stage sampling procedure was used in the selection of the sample for the study. The data for this study were collected through the use of two sets of self – designed questionnaire tagged “Human Resource Management Questionnaire (HRMQ)” and “Academic Staff productivity Questionnaire (ASPQ)” The instruments were subjected to screening by experts in the areas of Tests and Measurement and Educational Management. The reliability of the instruments was carried out using the test re-test method which yielded reliability coefficient of 0.80 and 0.76 for HRMQ and ASPQ respectively. The data obtained for the study were analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that performance appraisal, employee relation and job design were significantly related to academic staff productivity. It was recommended among others that the job roles of each academic staff should be clearly spelt out by management of tertiary institutions. And, job performance of academic staff should be continually appraised by management of tertiary institutions through the Head of Departments. Again, the management should continue with the trend of communication flow among academic staff and between academic staff and other stakeholders in the institution to foster cordial relationship.

The paper attempts to highlight the importance of entrepreneurship education in the quest for sustainable development and the role of tertiary institutions in promoting sound entrepreneurship education. In Nigeria, just like other developed and developing countries, tertiary institutions, through research and innovation, have been saddled with the responsibility of integrating sustainable development into their teachings and learnings. As societies look for solutions that could lead to sustainable development, entrepreneurship education, being offered in tertiary institutions, is becoming increasingly more appealing. Thus, given their primary role as knowledge producers, tertiary institutions, through research and innovation, can serve as powerful means to help create a more sustainable future by engaging in entrepreneurship education. Going forward, this paper also highlights the role of tertiary institutions in this very important subject of sustainable development, the reasons why people choose to be entrepreneurs as well as the importance of entrepreneurship education. The paper concludes by proffering suggestions on the way forward.

Nigerian public tertiary institutions have been plagued with incessant industrial conflicts that are always pronounced in form of strike actions and these had led to long closure of these public institutions with attendant negative effects on overall developments of these institutions. This study, therefore, examined the impact of industrial disharmony on sustainable development goal of state government-owned tertiary institutions in Southwest Nigeria. Two hypotheses were raised, and a descriptive survey research design of the ex post facto type was adopted for the study. The population for the study comprised of all the staff of three selected public tertiary institutions across three states in Southwest Nigeria (Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta; Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Ijanikin, Lagos and Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso). Simple random and proportionate stratified technique was used to select the respondents based on staff classification into academic (302), senior non-teaching (103) and junior non-teaching (280) cadres totalling 685 respondents. A self-designed questionnaire entitled Industrial Disharmony and Sustainable Development Goals Questionnaire (IDSDGQ) was used to collect information from the respondents. Data were analyzed using regression analysis to test the two hypotheses raised for the study at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that industrial disharmony had a significant impact on sustainable development goals of state government-owned tertiary institutions in Southwest Nigeria. It is, therefore, recommended that state governments as proprietors of these tertiary institutions should strive to increase the funding of these institutions since a lack of adequate funding has been identified as a major source of industrial disharmony in public tertiary institutions.
