Development of a valid and reliable summative test in Plane Trigonometry

Abstract

The study was carried out to develop a valid and reliable test in Plane Trigonometry for college students. Four research questions were drawn to guide the establishment of validity and reliability for the Plane Trigonometry summative test. It is a multiple choice objective test of four options with 50 items. All students enrolled in plane trigonometry were used as participants to determine the reliability of the test. Three (3) experts/judges were used for the content validity of the test. After validation to the three experts/judges, the result showed that the Plane Trigonometry test has a very high validity. The test item validity was determined through difficulty and discrimination indices. The test has a reliability coefficient of 0.909 established through the use of Cronbach’s Alpha. The test is valid and reliable for assessingstudents’ content knowledge in Plane Trigonometry. Thus, the constructed test can be used for institutional entrance examination in the field of mathema.....

The influence of corruption and the underground economy on the relationship between oil rent and economic growth in Negeria

Joseph, David

Abstract

This study examines whether the effect of oil rent on economic growth in Nigeria depends on the levels of corruption and the size of the underground economy (UE) over the period 1990-2022. Relying on the Sachs-Warner resource‑curse theory, it employs the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach, as well as the fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS), canonical cointegration regression (CCR), and dynamic OLS (DOLS) estimators. The estimation results show that oil rent contributes positively to both short- and long-term growth, whereas reductions in corruption and an expanding UE exert immediate and sustained negative effects on growth. Moreover, the study reveals that the impact of oil rent on growth varies with both the level of corruption and the size of the UE. Specifically, the marginal effect of oil rent on growth is positive when corruption is low or the UE.....
