The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a severe globalhealth crisis that has spread to practically all sectors of human life. The education sector has been severely hit due to the closure of schools, alternative learning arrangements and concerns about access to learning by indigent students. It was therefore the purpose of this study to investigate the academic performance of students in STEM subjects of the senior secondary school exams conducted by the National Examination Council (NECO)amid the challenges and issues in teaching and learning in Nigeria caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Data regarding students' grades in;Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Technical Drawing, Basic Electricity, Auto Mechanics, Home Management, and Food and Nutrition,within four years (2017-2020)were sourced from the National Examinations Council. The study employed a longitudinal technique in an ex post facto research design to look at the grades obtained by candidates that sat for SSCE in STEM subjects in the period. Quite surprisingly, it was found that the students performed better in 2020 when compared to 2017, 2018, and 2019. This was suspected to be attributed to resilience on the part of the students who may have put extra effort to beat the odds introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the activities that take place behind the scenes as part of the steps taken by examination bodies to standardized tests is the determination of the psychometric properties of the items in a process referred to as item analysis. This study analysed the adequacy of the basic science and technology test items used for the 2019 Basic Education Certificate Examination in terms of difficulty levels, discriminating powers, guessing, and distracter indices. The study adopted evaluation and descriptive survey research designs. A sample of 976 students was selected from 59 schools across Niger State for the study using a multistage random sampling procedure. A 60-item Basic Science and Technology test administered by the National Examinations Council for the 2019 BECE was used to collect data for the study. The item difficulty levels, discriminating powers, guessing, and distracter indices of the items were generated based on a four-parameter Item Response Theory model using Xcalibre software package. The items adequately satisfied unidimensionality and local independence, when statistically examined using confirmatory factor analysis and tetra–chronic correlation respectively. The findings revealed that all the items satisfied the difficulty, discrimination, distracter and guessing indices criteria to be used for the 2019 BECE. It was recommended among others that school proprietors and the government should endeavour to sponsor teachers to attend item generation workshops to be up-to-date with how to generate test items that meet the criteria for final examinations.

This paper examined the role of computer simulation software packages in enhancing the learning experiences and satisfaction of students undertaking electronics technology course.

This study investigated the correlation between emotional intelligence and effective classroom management among radio, television and electronic works trade teachers. The study adopted correlational survey research design. The emotional intelligence of the 58 radio, television and electronic works teachers in the 20 technical colleges accredited for the trade were obtained using Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire and correlated with their classroom management obtained using Teachers' Classroom Management Self-Assessment Questionnaire. Pearson's product moment correlation and multiple regression were used for data analyses. Findings revealed that emotional intelligence when treated together have a strong positive and statistically significant correlation with the teachers' effective classroom management. It was concluded that radio, television and electronics works teachers with high emotional intelligence are better able to effectively manage their classrooms. Therefore, it was recommended that ministries of education should periodically organise training programmes capable of enhancing the emotional competencies of their teachers. Introduction The skills of a teacher in piloting the activities that goes on in the classroom, often go a long way in determining the success of all other things that comes out of it. Since, the teacher, like other professionals, is an emotional being, the way he relates with the people (including his; colleagues, students and their parents) he encounters in the course of discharging his daily duties, is to a large extent a function of his emotional disposition. Raymond and Hassan (2015) noted that emotionally intelligent people recognize the fact that their success or failure can be influenced by their emotional disposition and therefore make use of their thinking skills to manage their emotions in order to come out successfully in any situation they find themselves. Emotional Intelligence is a relatively new construct in the research space of Technical and Vocational Education in Nigeria. It is the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships (Goleman, 1998). The four domains of emotional intelligence developed by Goleman were further expanded to include a total of 19 emotional competencies, they are: emotional self-awareness, accurate self-assessment, self-confidence, emotional self-control,

This paper examined the role of computer simulation software packages in enhancing the learning experiences and satisfaction of students undertaking electronics technology course. Emphasis was laid on defining learning experience as all the activities and interactions within the school system from which students can learn. As well as student satisfaction, which is students' perceptions of learning experiences and perceived value of a course. The factors affecting electronics technology students' learning experiences and satisfaction such as: quality of staff, student teacher relationship, socio-cultural background, teacher-student ratio and admission standards were highlighted. It was established from the literature reviewed that, electronics technology is capital intensive and the funds required for procuring equipment and consumables are not often readily available.
