Environmental Information Utilization and Requirements In Solid Waste Management Organisations. (A Case Study of Oyo State, Nigeria).
The study among other things investigated the availability and accessibility of environmental information to their information requirements and the sources consulted. A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. A purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample and method produced 205 respondents that consisted of 185 policy implementers (P.I) and 20 policy formulators (P.E). A total of one hundred and forth seven cases were finally analysed which included 16 policy formulators (8% of the total sample) and 131 policy implementers (71% of the total sample). Two research questions addressed in the study were analysed using descriptive statistics such as percentage and frequency counts. The findings revealed that both the policy formulators and implementers consulted environmental – related journals and publications from international organizations such as UNESCO, WHO, UNICEF, UNDP, and World Bank. However, both the policy formulators and implementers rarely consult important government documents.

The affective domain is the main focus of social studies as a subject. This should be reflected in the teaching and assessment of social studies. It would appear that, there is a cognitive orientation to the teaching and evaluation of the subject among social studies teachers in Junior Secondary Schools in Ogun State. this paper sets out to find, if social studies teachers generally evaluate the affective domain to an acceptable level and the proportion of teachers who meet the acceptable level of evaluation as specified by the study. The population of the study was made up one hundred and forty three social studies teachers out of which eighty-four (84) teachers were finally randomly selected for the study. Ten public secondary schools were randomly selected for the study. Two hypotheses were generated for the study. Based on the findings, it was recommended among other things that all stake-holders in Education should place more emphasis on the affective evaluation of social studies.

It was in the context of enhancing learning outcome through Inquiry Method that this study was undertaken. The study examined the relativeness of Inquiry Method and Teacher Guided Discussion method as against the conventional and traditional methods in teaching and learning outcome of some aspects of social studies in secondary schools. A pre-test, post-test, control group experimental design involving two experimental groups and one control group was used in the research work.
