    • 3.0.6 Validity of the instrument
      Face validity was established by giving initial drafts of the instrument to experts in measurement and evaluation departments in college of education.
      These experts subjected the instruments to vigorous scrutiny considering the purpose of the study and research questions. The aim was to ascertain the clarity appropriateness of the language of the respondent and courage of the research questions.
      The items and wordings in the questionnaire were checked. The researchers produced the final version of the instrument after the correction of errors found in their supervision. The instrument is valid because it was not gotten from one variable.
      3.0.6 Reliability of instrument
      The researchers ascertained the reliability of the instrument by using a test re-test method. As test-retest method demands, questionnaires were administered to 2 teachers from each of the three (3) selected schools summing up to 6 teachers and five (5) students from each of the three (3) selected schools summing up to fifteen (15) students randomly selected in Ogbaru Local government Area, separately at intervals of two weeks.
      Method of data collection:
      The researchers personally administered the questionnaire to the respondents by visiting the three (3) secondary schools selected in Ogbaru Local government Area.
      The personal administration of the questionnaire helped the researcher to explain clearly, the purpose of the research and to answer questions that were raised by some inquisitive respondents. The completed questionnaires were collected at the spot after the filling of the written responses of the respondents.
      Method of Data Analysis:
      The mean scores used in the analysis of the responses of the research questions are thus;
      Strongly Agree ------------SA = 4 Points
      Agree-------------------------A = 3 Points
      Disagree --------------------D = 2 Points
      Strongly Disagree--------SD= 1 Points
      Cut off mean = (4+3+2+1)/4 =   10 /4    = 2.5
      Hence, the cutoff mean is 2.5. This implies that every mean score which is exactly or above 2.5 agrees with the decision thus accepted while any score below 2.5 disagrees with the decision thus not accepted.
