Gender Autonomy as a Feminist Premise of Identity and its Impact upon Female Protagonists in Fictional Narratives
Get PDFThis paper examines ethnic identity in selected narrative works, namely, Tanushree Podder’s Escape from Harem (2013), R. K. Narayan’s The Guide (1958) and Dipika Rai’s Someone Else’s Garden (2010). The study argues that the ethnic groups could be grasped in terms of their identity features, which are blatantly portrayed in the novels. The study of any ethnic group, furthermore, leads directly to the understanding of its people, culture, tradition, manner and so forth. In this respect, the concept of identity will be approached as an implicative conceptualization of any community. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the complexities of identity and its effects on the characters in the selected novels. First, it will study the conceptualization of identity in Escape from Harem (2013). In this novel, the notions of identity will be elaborated in relation to feminism. Second, it will apply the concept of identity in terms of the main character’s life in The Guide (1958). Third, it will discuss women poor conditions in Someone Else’s Garden (2010) to identify the author’s depiction of gender autonomy as a way of gaining identity in the novel

Get PDFThis study aims to evaluate Technical and Vocational, Education and Training (TVET) programme in the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro using Kirkpatrick model. The model provided a very reliable and valuable framework of evaluating education and technical training or programmes with four levels of Behaviour, Learning, Reaction and Outcome/Impact. The study population is 14290 students registered during the 2021/2022 academic session of the Institution. Krejcie and Morgam (1974) sampling technique was adopted to have 375 sampled sizes for questionnaire administration purpose. The study purposively selected 375 sample size among the graduating classes in three out of five faculty, in which the institution was divided, to represent fifty percent of the stratification. The choice of graduating classes is to have those that is about to complete their academic programme, and have gone through TVET inclined programmes for self-evaluation on the changes in their behaviour, learning, reaction and noticeable outcome-impact of TVET programme on them in their immediate business environment. Descriptive and inferential statistics were adopted for analysis. The result of the findings through regression analysis produced Adjusted R-Square of -0.005, F Statistics of 0.363 and significant value of 0.780, which indicate that Learning, Behaviour and Reaction has not influence the Outcome or Result of TVET programme. It was concluded that learning, reaction and behaviour were adequate in the TVET programme with most respondents agreeing to the variables used to test the three levels, but has no influence on the Outcome/Impact on the improvement in the trainee’s life at the completion of the programme in the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Nigeria
