This study examined the influence of ICT on vocational and technical skills acquisition among polytechnic students in Osun State. The sample of the study was 350; consisting of undergraduate students from 2 Polytechnics in Osun State. Self-developed questionnaires were made and validated through pilot testing and administered to the sample for the collection of data. The researcher personally visited respondents, thus 100% of data were collected. The collected data were tabulated and analyzed by using percentage, frequency count and t-test analysis. The major findings of the study were that there is a significant difference in the impact of ICT on vocational and technical skills acquired by students of Polytechnics in Osun State, ICT has a greater impact on vocational and technical skills acquired by male students than that of females. It was also concluded that there is a significant difference in the impact of ICT on vocational and technical skills acquired by students of Polytechnics in Osun State based on specialization. Based on the findings of the study, major recommendations were enumerated as the government should develop ICT software that will be applicable to their indigenous cultures so as to make ICT more relevant to the local needs of the people, educators should be sponsored to attend workshops, seminars, and conferences, both locally and internationally, and educational programmes should be restructured to make them utility oriented, among others.
The study was conducted with statical analysis of data (828 data in 2010, 752 data in 2012, 648 data in 2014) in order to evaluate laboratory awareness difference of research employees working in different types of universities.
Results of the study were as follows: First, university institutes in the order of polytechnic colleges, university, and junior college showed the highest laboratory safety awareness in 'awareness and education of laboratorial safety regulation' and 'awareness in laboratory risk factors'. Second, the difference in safety awareness of universities by year(years that conducted current status survey) was the highest in year 2014, then in 2010, and in 2008. Third, the difference of research employees working for laboratory safety management by year(years that conducted current status) showed that university had the highest laboratory safety awareness in year 2010, but it changed to polytechnic colleges in year 2012 and 2014.
Through this study, we could recognize the difference in safety awareness of research employees working in university institutes
이 연구는 기술대학 학생들의 사회인구학적 변인과 체육활동 수준에 따른 웰빙의 차이를 알아보고, 주요 변인들의 상대적 공헌도를 규명하여 기술대학의 체육프로그램 개발과 생활지도를 위한 기초정보를 제공하는데 목적이 있었다. 연구대상자는 전국 37개 한국기술대학에 재학 중인 학생들이었으며, 사용된 검사도구는 Abbot와 Jones(2006)의 웰니스검사지(the Wellness Inventory)를 연구자가 우리문화에 맞도록 번안하여 신뢰도와 타당도 검정을 거친 한국판 웰빙검사지였다. 자료처리는 SPSS Version 14.0 통계 프로그램을 이용하여 연령대, 신체질량지수(BMI), 체육수업 시수, 체육수업 참여적극성, 방과후 체육 참여빈도, 방과후 체육 참여적극성, 웰빙의 평균과 표준편차를 산출하였다. 다변량분산분석(MANOVA) 결과 연령대가 높을수록 웰빙이 높은 것으로 나타났으며(p<.001), 정상수준의 BMI에서 웰빙을 높게 인식하였다(p<.001). 또한 체육수업과 방과후 체육 참여빈도와 참여적극성이 높을수록 웰빙수준이 높게 나타났다(p<.001). 동시입력방식 중다회귀분석(enter multiple regression analysis)을 통해 총웰빙에 영향을 미치는 주요 변인들의 공헌도를 알아본 결과, 체육수업 참여적극성, 방과후 체육 참여적극성, 방과후 체육 참여빈도, 가족월평균수입, 흡연량 순으로 나타나 신체활동 변인들이 웰빙에 중요한 결정 요인임을 시사하였다.
