Abstract

Background: Acquisition of research skills provide the forum for incorporating Nigerian graduate students with disabilities and university lecturers into the international scientific culture and the developing knowledge economy. Aim: This study investigated the prediction of self-concept and anxiety on the tendency of postgraduate students with Learning Disabilities (LD) to acquire research skills in two Public Universities of Cross River State, Nigeria: Implications for counseling. Two objectives of the study were stated to guide the study and to achieve the purpose of the study. Two research questions were formulated, which were converted to two statements of hypotheses. A literature review was carried out based on the variables under study. Method: The survey research design was considered most suitable for the study. A stratified random sampling technique was adopted in selecting the 49 respondents sampled for the study. A validated 20 items four-point modified Likert scale questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The face and content validity of the instrument was established by experts in Test and Measurement. The reliability estimates of 0.81 of the instruments were established using the Cronbach Alpha method. A simple Linear regression statistical tool was used to test the hypotheses formulated for the study. The hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of significance. Results: The results obtained from the data analysis revealed a significant prediction of self-concept and anxiety on the tendency of postgraduate students with Learning Disabilities (LD) to acquire research skills in the study area. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the study, it was therefore recommended, among others, that internal seminars and workshops should be organized by Graduate schools every quarter of the year, where each postgraduate student delivers a standard paper, and this should be made compulsory. This will encourage sharing knowledge and increase skills and zeal for using knowledge and more research publications.
自我概念和焦虑对尼日利亚克罗斯河州两所公立大学学习障碍研究生获得研究技能倾向的预测:心理咨询意义
背景:获得研究技能为尼日利亚残疾研究生和大学讲师融入国际科学文化和发展中的知识经济提供了论坛。目的:本研究调查了自我概念和焦虑对尼日利亚克罗斯河州两所公立大学学习障碍研究生学习技能倾向的预测:对咨询的启示。本研究的两个目标旨在指导本研究和实现本研究的目的。提出了两个研究问题,并将其转化为两个假设陈述。根据所研究的变量进行了文献综述。方法:调查研究设计被认为最适合本研究。采用分层随机抽样技术对49名被调查者进行了抽样调查。一份经过验证的20项四点修正Likert量表是用于数据收集的工具。该仪器的表面和内容有效性是由测试和测量专家确定的。使用Cronbach Alpha方法确定了0.81个仪器的可靠性估计值。使用简单的线性回归统计工具来检验为研究制定的假设。这些假设在0.05的显著性水平上进行了检验。结果:数据分析结果显示,自我概念和焦虑对学习障碍研究生获得研究领域研究技能的倾向有显著预测作用。结论:根据研究结果,除其他外,建议研究生院每年每季度组织一次内部研讨会和讲习班,每个研究生都要提交一份标准论文,这应该是强制性的。这将鼓励分享知识,提高使用知识和更多研究出版物的技能和热情。
