The first volume is made up of twenty-one articles derived from the works of scholars drawn specifically from the Federal College of Education, Osiele Abeokuta where the idea of the Journal originally emanated. It is disturbing that little is often known about the research works of other scholars by their colleagues presumably because the essence of most of the studies was for career elevation. The medium of disseminating the outcomes of the researches are often limited if not non-existent. It is in an attempt to bridge the gap that this project was embarked upon. The volume is comprised of four major parts with five articles in each except for part two that contains six. Part one deals with issues in Teaching and Learning Mythologies. The second part covers Psychological and Sociological Issues while part three is about Science and Vocational. The final part contains articles on Language, Religion and Culture. Thus in one volume, many aspects of issues that are of major concerns to Education (either pedagogy or content) are adequately covered. The Editorial Board welcomes well researched works dealing with any aspect of Educational Studies, Science, Vocational, Language, Religion and Culture. The length of the manuscript should not be more than twenty pages typed with double spacing on A -4 size paper. Two hard copies and an electronic form are to be forwarded to the Editor in Chief. References can either be in t he form of end note or APA. It is important to note that contributors are welcome only from among Doctors of Philosophy Degree holders in Colleges of Education System in Nigeria. Dr. Ayodele A. Ajayi Editor in Chief v Preface One of the major gaps in the levels of development between the developed and the underdeveloped or developing nations of the world is the relevance, quantum and the usability of the research conducted by the scholars. The lacuna is most noticeable in the African continent where the Universities and Research Institutes are either deemed not performing or under performing. Feelings are rife that no meaningful or usable researches occur in many African countries, but this is arguable. What is incontrovertible is that often times there is a disconnect between those who conduct the research and those who are in the position to utilize the outcomes. As a Scholar in the college of education system in Nigeria, I have been bothered by the slow translation of research findings into practice , and the lack of utilization of some to the advantage of the local communities. The packaging of this journal is a way of responding to the way by which the notorious barriers can be summoned. Publishing the studies and disseminating the findings of research is a veritable way of making known and making them available to users. The idea of this volume which is the first of other series forth coming received a warm embrace from the contributors when it was conceived over a year ago. Since then all the twenty-one contributors have put in lots of efforts to seeing the vision actualized. I therefore express unreserved appreciation to them especially because in spite of their very busy schedules as researcher , teacher, and administrator, they gave the task all the attention that it deserved. The board and management of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund Trust (TETFUND) is also highly appreciated for providing the funds for the work. The role of TETFUND in improving the Tertiary Education Sector in Nigeria is unparalleled and it is not surprising that some other African countries are on the verge of replicating the concept in their lands. I say kudos to the board and management of TETFUND on the one hand and the Federal Government of Nigeria on the other hand for this laudable project in our time. It is indeed heart warming that by this publication, the research efforts of the contributors have not remained buried in the archives. Ajayi, Ayodele Adetayo, PhD.
