Classroom questioning as an invaluable teaching strategy in Social Studies
(Department of Educational Foundation, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2014-02-02) Fan, Akpan Fan; Mayange, Levi Terzungwe; Aminu, Shammah
Questioning is a teaching technique that indispensably pervades all teaching methods and the other techniques. Questions are sentences used in getting information; the information given indicates the respondent’s knowledge of something or lack of it. Teachers may pose questions to students or vice versa. This work explores questioning techniques, types of questions, the importance of questioning, teachers’ questions and wait-times, and how a teacher can field students’ questions. Questioning, the paper observes, can be a rewarding technique in teaching provided the teacher understands its purposes and warns that questioning should not be used for filling up time such as when the teacher has completed work and there is nothing left to be done. Questions asked at such a time are usually illprepared, as are answers given. It is recommended, inter alias, that teachers need to possess the mastery of knowledge and skills in asking good questions in class. Such mastery will stimulate inquiry and reflective thinking among pupils.

Counselling Anti-Social Behaviours among Students of Tertiary Institutions for Transformation Aganda in Nigeria
(Department of Guidance and Counselling,Nasarawa State University Keffi., 2015-03-10) Mayange, Levi Terzungwe; Ayuba, Iya Haruna.
One of the most pressing issues in the minds of people in Nigeria today, as far as students' behaviour is concerned is antisocial activities carried out by our youth. These behaviours affect the quality of the products or graduates of our tertiary institutions, and by extension, the society at large. These antisocial behaviours seem to be militating against the graduation of students that are worthy in character and learning to merit the certificates obtained at the end of their studies. Some of these antisocial behaviour include cultism, drug abuse, examination misconduct, obscene dressing, sexual promiscuity/ harassment and vandaiization, to mention but a few. Each of the above, its causes and likely social and academic implications are explained in this paper It is recommended that the responsibility of preventing or curbing general students' antisocial behaviour is a collective one resting on counsellors, parents, teachers, religious leaders, school authorities and the government. This can be done through appropriate upbringing counseling and necessary sanction for offenders/ culprits.
