Abstract This study looked at employing technology integration to enhance students'
academic achievement in Mathematics. The study focused on technology-based
tools, such as online platforms, interactive software, and digital resources, to
enhance learning outcomes. The conventional learning-specific model has become
old and is considered the opposite of the technique of teaching. It makes students
uncomfortable and not interested during class. Students become more engaged when
they feel the learning medium is suited and according to their needs. As such, the
ability of a teacher to teach using dynamic, innovative, and a comprehensive method,
become a factor to academic success. By examining the concept of mathematics, its
relevance in Science and Technology, and the barriers of technology integration, the
study synthesized key findings related to the effectiveness of integrating technology
into the classroom in enhancing students' achievement, engagement, and critical
thinking skills. The study discussed barriers and benefits associated with
integrating technology into teaching and learning and suggested recommendations
for educators and policymakers to maximize the benefits of technology
integration in enhancing academic achievement.

Abstract This study investigated the influence of
incessant strikes on the functionality of
university education among mathematics
education students in South-South Nigeria.
Three research questions guided the study,
and three hypotheses were formulated and
tested. A descriptive analytic survey was
used as the study's design, and the study
population was 1251. A purposive sample
was used to select a sample size of 120 for
the study. A 4-point rating scale
questionnaire containing 30 items validated
by experts was used for data collection.
Using Cronbach Alpha, the internal
consistency gave a reliability coefficient of
.898. The research questions
They were answered using mean and
standard deviation, while a t-test was used
to test all the hypotheses at a 0.05
significance level. The study revealed that
incessant strikes influenced the functionality
of university education among mathematics
education students in South-South Nigeria
as evidenced in the poor academic
performances of students, disruption of the
academic calendar, extension in the study
year of students, brain-drain, and half-
baked graduates, among others. Based on
these findings, the study recommends that
the government should create a forum where
they can dialogue with the university
management from time to time to resolve
their disputes. Education should be well
funded to enhance practical skills that would
influence the functionality of university
education in South-South Nigeria.

Abstract This study investigated teachers' perceptions of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
(STEM) and Science education as veritable tools for national development. The study was carried out in
Delta north senatorial district of Delta state, Nigeria. The purpose of this study is to find out the perceptions of
teachers on STEM and Science education by examining their knowledge and perceived competence; in Delta
North Senatorial District of Delta State, Nigeria. Two research questions and one hypothesis guided the
study. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The sample size of the study was 100 Science
teachers. Data was collected using the research instrument titled Teachers'perception of STEM education
questionnaire (TPSEQ), which was validated, and gave reliability co-efficient of 0.72 as a measure of
internal consistency which was estimated using Cronbach Alpha. Results of the study revealed that science
teachers have good perceptions regarding STEM education and are willing to integrate STEM education in
their teaching. The findings also showed that Science teachers, have good content knowledge regarding
STEM education and their perceived competence, is relatively high. It was concluded by reason of
thesefindingsthatScienceteachershavegoodperceptiveknowledgeandcompetenceofSTEMeducation.lt
was therefore recommended amongst others that curriculum planners and the government should
encourage and motivate Science teachers' perceptions to keep aligning to STEM integrated approach to
enable them continual development on their existing knowledge and competence of STEM Education
