Osayande Eric Iyobo, Erhabor Norris
Abstract :
The study examined ethnicity and students with regard to the development of environmental health content. The study also examined the differences between the variables of students and teachers as they affect their choice of requirements necessary for validation and development of environmental health content. In the same vein the influence of variables of objective content, teaching aids and teaching methods on the independent variables was also examined. The descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population of the study consisted of health and physical education, geography, biology and agricultural science teachers and students in selected secondary schools in Edo State. The sampling method used was the multi–stage sampling technique which was employed to select 1000 participants for the study. The instrument used for the study was a questionnaire. The data collected were subjected to statistical analysis using Pearson Product Moment correlation, Spearman correlation coefficient for two independent sample mean, the Scheffe post hoc test. They were used to test the null hypotheses formulated to solve the problem of the study at 0.05 alpha level of significance. Results of the study revealed a significant relationship between students and ethnicity perceptions towards the course content of environmental health with a calculated mean of 1.9081, standard deviation 1.20724 and rho value of .880 (P<0.05). Conclusively, the identified culture by the students should be taken into consideration in the development of environmental health content. On the findings made, it was recommended that there is need to study the culture of the people since the content is expected to be a selection of issues from the people culture.
