    Analysis of Questioning Pattern and Validity of Secondary School Geography Teachers in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State
    (Journal of Educational Studies, 2009) Dickson, s. Dakur
    The purpose of the paper was to analyse the evaluation questions of geography teachers as contained in their lesson plans. in terms of how well they cover the objectives of the lesson and the types and forms of the question with respect to Blooms (/964) and Franenkel (/973) classifications. The simple random sampling was employed to select the lesson plans of twenty-one geography teachers of the study area from a sample frame of thirty-eight teachers. which served as the sole instrument used for data collection for the study. The statistical techniques of proportion. chi-square and Pearson product moment correlation coefficient were used for the analysis of the data. The result of the analysis revealed that while a large number of the teachers asked appropriate and adequate questions. majority of them could not ask diverse questions. Moreso, those who asked appropriate questions. such questions were not necessarily adequate. Thus. no significant relationship existed between the appropriateness and adequacy of the evaluation questions of the teachers. Most of them were able to ask both low and high level questions with a slight difference between qualification groups. Appropriate recommendations were therefore made based on these findings.

    Contaminants In Local Alcoholic Beverages: Zinc And Manganese Contamination
    (International Journal of Biological and Chemical Sciences, 2008) S. Y. Gazuwa; J. D. Dabak; G. A. Ubom
    Abstract The Extent Of Leaching Of Zinc (Zn) And Manganese (Mn) From The Vessels Used During The Preparation Of Two Local Alcoholic Drinks, Pito And Burukutu Has Been Assessed. Leaching Of These Metals During The Four Phases Of Fermentation Was Monitored By Determining The Levels Of The Metals In Each Phase Using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric Technique; In Each Complete Fermentation Protocol, Metallic Or Clay Container Was Used. Contamination Appeared To Be Due To The Fermentation Process, Container Used Or A Combination Of The Two. Comparatively, There Was Increase In The Levels Of These Metals From The Initial To The Final Phase Of Fermentation For Both Types Of Vessels; In Each Case, Appropriate Controls Were Used. Compared To Control Values, The Average Increase In The Level Of Zinc In Burukutu And Pito For Metallic And Clay Containers Is 343%; 325% And 295%; 252% Respectively; Whereas For Manganese The Increases Are 815%; 1438% And 1292%; 1150% In That Order. The Differences In The Levels Of These Metals Among The Phases In Each Of The Drinks Were Significant (P<0.05)
