ECONOMIC FUNDAMENTALS AND NOMINAL EXCHANGE RATE IN AFRICAN OIL PRODUCING COUNTRIES: EVIDENCE FROM ASYMMETRIC COINTEGRATION
No full textThe role of exchange rates is very important in the international market, and the variability of exchange rates, in appreciation or depreciation, is directly connected with a country's economic performance. Exchange rate variations in oil-producing African countries have been too high, resulting in volatilities due to domestic and foreign shocks. High exchange rate volatility may translate into reduced. Several studies on the relationship between economic fundamentals and exchange rates focused more on Africa or country-specific countries, with limited focus on African oil-producing countries using asymmetric cointegration. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between some economic fundamentals and exchange rates in African oil-producing countries. The dynamic panel nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag and linear autoregressive distributed lag were used to investigate the relationship between economic fundamentals and nominal exchange rate (NER). The NARDL result shows that that there is evidence of both short and long-run asymmetric relationship between economic fundamentals and the nominal exchange rate. The study recommended that policymakers in African oilproducing countries should encourage strong and stable currencies that will stabilize each country's econom

EKSUJOE JOURNAL OF EDUCATION: Influence of Classroom Learning Environment on Secondary School Chemistry Students’ Achievement in Edo Central Senatorial District in Edo State
No full textThis study examined the influence of classroom learning environment on chemistry students\u27 academic achievement in secondary schools in Edo Central Senatorial District in Edo State. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The study adopts a survey research design and Expo Facto. The population consists of 2,500 secondary school students taking chemistry in Edo Central Senatorial District in Edo State. A total sample size of 300 SS11 Chemistry as selected, proportionally representing the various strata. The instruments for data collection were a structured questionnaire titled Influence of classroom learning environment on Chemistry Students\u27 Academic Achievement Questionnaire. (CLEQ) and Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT). The instruments were validated by three experts. The Reliability was determined using a pilot study and data collected were analyzed Cronbach’s alpha statistics for the questionnaire and Kuder- Richardson 21 formula for the CAT , with a reliability coefficients of 0.78 and 0.77 respectively obtained. The data collected were analyzed using frequency and percentage for research question one, mean, standard deviation for research question 2 and 3, and independent samples t-test to test hypothesis one. The findings of the study showed that: most schools have unconducive physical, social and psychological learning environments; the classroom learning environment significantly affects students\u27 academic achievement in chemistry; and there is a significant difference in male and female chemistry students\u27 achievement based on the classroom learning environment they are exposed to. The study recommends that classroom conditions should be enhanced by ensuring adequate lighting, proper ventilation, and comfortable seating arrangements; efforts should be made to foster a supportive and inclusive classroom culture that encourages interaction and collaboration among students
