Similarly, apart from health hazards, many deaths have been recorded as a result of use of diesel or fuel dependent generators, Additionally, the production of electrical power via solar energy is increasingly gaining more awareness, but the cost of its installation in residential buildings is not affordable by an average Nigeria. Hence, the need to design and construct a more environmental-friendly and less expensive generator for average Nigerians. This study therefore adds to electrical power generation to design and construct a 1.2KVA fuel-less generator. The study employed an experimental design approach following designs procedures for constructing generator. The construction employed some resources such as alternator, bridge rectifier, capacitor, stator winding. Having constructed the Fuel-less generator with an external solar power source, it shows that its performance evaluation is 1,200W (1.2KVA) Fuel-less generating set with a minimum time of six hours.

type: item
description: Improvisation can be an essential skill for teachers, especially in resource-constrained educational environments. The study investigated the skills of teachers in Egor Local Government Area of Edo State to improvise instructional materials for teaching when conventional resources are unavailable. Using a descriptive survey research design, the study sampled 102 teachers from 12 public Junior secondary schools. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire divided into sections addressing demographic information and the variable of interest. The instrument, validated by experts, achieved a reliability coefficient of 0.780 through Cronbach's Alpha. Mean and standard Deviation was used to answer research question 1, t-test was used to test hypothesis 1 and ANOVA was used to test Hypothesis 2. at a 0.05 significance level. The findings revealed that teachers in the study area possess adequate improvisation skills, enabling them to adapt their teaching methods effectively in diverse situations. Teachers demonstrated the ability to create alternative instructional materials and found no variation in these skills based on gender, as male and female teachers exhibited similar proficiency levels in improvising teaching resources among others. Moreover, the study concluded that educational qualifications do not affect teachers' improvisation abilities. Teachers across various qualification levels were equally adept at creating instructional materials. This uniformity suggests that the ability to improvise is a skill that transcends formal qualifications.

Academic Resilience, Academic Stress, and Emotional Regulation as Predictors of Secondary School Students' Achievement in Chemistry in Anambra State
type: item
description: This study investigates the relationship between academic resilience, academic stress, emotional regulation, and chemistry achievement among secondary school students in Anambra State, Nigeria. Correlational survey research design was employed with a sample of 420 senior secondary school students (SS2) selected through stratified random sampling from government schools across three education zones with a total population of 27,530 SS2 students enrolled in the 148 public schools in the zones. Data were collected using standardized instruments: the Academic Resilience Scale (ARS-30), Perceived Academic Stress Scale (PASS), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), and Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT). Multiple regression analysis revealed that academic resilience (β = 0.42, p < 0.001) positively predicted chemistry achievement, while academic stress (β = -0.31, p < 0.001) negatively predicted achievement. Adaptive emotional regulation strategies (β = 0.28, p < 0.01) positively predicted chemistry achievement, while maladaptive strategies (β = -0.19, p < 0.05) showed a negative relationship. Together, these variables accounted for 47% of the variance in chemistry achievement. Significant gender differences were found in academic resilience and adaptive emotional regulation, with female students scoring higher. The study concludes that interventions aimed at enhancing academic resilience, reducing academic stress, and promoting adaptive emotional regulation may improve chemistry achievement among secondary school students. The findings highlight the importance of psychological factors in science education and recommended the integration of psychological interventions into chemistry education to enhance student achievement
