Abstract Digital technology has unified the world into a global village by communication. The merits and demerits of digital technology are highly debatable on issues bordering on academic achievement, gambling, yahoosm, Bet 9ja and morality of tertiary students. Hence this study investigated these issues among students in the College of Education Agbor. The study was a case study involving 100-300 level students in the college, with a population of 3,000. A sample of 300 students represented the entire population. Instrument used for data collection was digital technology on academic exercises and moral behaviour questionnaire (DTAEMBQ). Three research questions were raised and answered using mean (x) and standard deviation (SD). The findings indicated a high rate of interest in social networking and moral decadence of student in the college against academic exercises. The paper therefore recommended among others: that government's intervention by creating awareness through conference organizations (local and international) to address digital technology, content and discount is imperative.

The study critically examined the influence of the curriculum on academic achievement of junior secondary school students from 2011-2017 and primary school pupils in mathematics and English language in Sapele Local government area of Delta State. The ex-post factor research design was used for the study. Samples of 40 primary three pupils' school records were obtained to analyze the data. Two research questions were raised and answered using the mean (x) and standard deviation (SD) while one hypothesis was tested at 0.05 alpha level. The findings showed that a complex and overloaded curriculum can contribute to low academic achievement of pupils and students in schools.

Abstract Children thrive successfully in almost all facets of life when they belong to two parent families. But the reverse is the case in many aspects of life when they belong to one parent families. Hence the study examined the influence of single parenting and socio-economic status on academic achievement of primary school pupils in Warri Local Government Area of Delta State. The cross-sectional research design was used for the study. A questionnaire on socio-economic status of parent, QSESP was used to collect primary data, while test-scores from pupils report cards were collected for secondary data. The sample of the study was 500 primary school pupils. The mean (2) and SD were used to answer the research questions while the t-test was used to test the hypothesis. The findings showed conclusively that single parenting has negative influence on academic achievement of pupils in the primary school. The study therefore recommended that single parents should seek help from relatives, NGO, Government and even religious institutions to help cater for their children instead of involving them in petty businesses that may endanger their lives.

Abstract This study technically looked into the differential academic achievement of the physically and non-physically challenged students based on allotted time for task completion. The study adopted a quas-experimental research design. Thirty physically challenged students and fifty non-physically challenged students from fourteen secondary schools in Okpe local government Area of Delta State, were used for the study. One research question and one null hypothesis which was tested at 0.05 alpha level guided the study. The instruments used for data collections were English Language Achievement test (ELAT), mathematics Achievement test (MAT), and basic Science Achievement test (Bsat). The mean (X) and standard deviations (SD) were used to answer the research question while ANOVA was used to test the hypothesis. The result of the findings after the analysis indicated that the physically challenged students on motor skill disability, can equally have high academic achievement like the non-physically challenged students if special attention is given to them on an allotted time for teaching and learning and for task completion such as test and examination. Based on this, some recommendations were given such as: separate testing time or extra time be given to the physically challenged students by WACE, NECO, and NABTEB during their examinations.
