Information And Communication Technologies (Icts) Usage And Household Food Security Status Of Maize Crop Farmers In Ondo State, Nigeria: Implication For Sustainable Development., Olumuyiwa Akin Olaniyi O.A., Kayode O. Ismaila
Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)
The poor performance of agricultural sector as a result of insufficient information has lead to food availability, access and utilization problems at the household and national levels. However, farming households have not maximally explored the full potential of ICT for accessing information related to food security. This study therefore, assessed ICT usage and household food security status of Maize crop farmers in Ondo State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling technique was employed in selecting 212 maize farmers who were household heads. Structured interview schedule was used as data collection instrument. Descriptive statistics (frequency counts, percentages, Mean) and inferential statistics (binary logit regression) …
Effects Of Parent Child Interaction And Language Stimulation On Children's Language Development, Rachel E. Timm, Helen Raikes
Effects Of Parent Child Interaction And Language Stimulation On Children's Language Development, Rachel E. Timm, Helen Raikes
UCARE Research Products
Research Questions:
- Does parent positive regard relate to a child’s receptive language development?
-
Does language stimulation relate to a child’s receptive language development?
-
Does parent bookreading behavior (reading fluency, reading intonation/animation, comfort level, and child involvement) relate to a child’s receptive language development?
Measures:
- Preschool Language Scale-5 (PLS-5)
- Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-4 (PPVT-4)
- HOME Language and Literacy Scale
- Video Codes from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care
Results:
- Positive regard was not significantly related to the PLS-5 or the PPVT-4.
- The HOME Language and Literacy Scale was a significant predictor of the PPVT-4 and was related to the PLS-5 …
The Effects Of Scaling On Trends Of Development: Classical Test Theory And Item Response Theory, Weldon Z. Smith
The Effects Of Scaling On Trends Of Development: Classical Test Theory And Item Response Theory, Weldon Z. Smith
College of Education and Human Sciences: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The scale metrics used in educational testing are often arbitrary, and this can impact interpretation of scores on measurements. Both classical test theory sum scores and item response theory estimates measure the same underlying dimension, but differences in the two scales may lead one to be more preferential than the other in interpreting data. Mismatch between individual ability and test difficulty can further result in difficulties in correctly interpreting trends of development in longitudinal data. A previous limited simulation by Embretson (2007) demonstrated that classical test theory sum scores result in misinterpretation of linear trends of development, and that item …
Challenges Of Respecting Riparian Rights Around Hydroelectric Dams In Cameroon Since 1949, Séverin Nwaha
Challenges Of Respecting Riparian Rights Around Hydroelectric Dams In Cameroon Since 1949, Séverin Nwaha
Journal for the Advancement of Developing Economies
The impact of electric energy on socio-economic development has attracted the attention of all categories of people in society. This is because of the role power plays in the economic and industrial sectors of any country. Public authorities seem to be more concerned with protecting capitalist interests at the detriment of the riparian population. Despite regulations and legal provisions, authorities are still not able to implement a rigorous policy in this sector in Cameroon due to administrative bottle necks, among other factors. Furthermore, the existence of multiple regulatory and management bodies creates confusion. Legislation related to this issue is usually …
