Transforming Global Architectural Training Curriculum: Integrating Disaster Mitigation and Sustainable Reconstruction
(Lead City University Ibadan, 2023) Olaoye, Gabriel Ogunyemi; Onamade, Akintunde Olaniyi; Chukwuka Obianuju Patience; Adeola, Ademola
The field of architecture plays a pivotal role in shaping the physical environment and tackling the
challenges posed by natural disasters and unsustainable practices. However, conventional architectural
training programs often lack comprehensive education on disaster mitigation and sustainable
reconstruction. This research paper aims to delve into the pressing need to integrate disaster mitigation
and sustainable reconstruction into Nigeria's architectural training curriculum. By scrutinizing the
existing gaps in architectural education, exploring the advantages of merging these disciplines, and
proposing pivotal strategies for curriculum transformation, this study seeks to contribute to the
advancement of architectural education. The findings of this research project will provide guidance to
educators, professionals, and policymakers in their endeavours to develop a more holistic and
responsive architectural training curriculum.

Change in Value System: Undermining Academic Integrity and Innovative Research
(Lead City University Ibadan, 2023) Lawrence AKANDE
Innovative research is an extension of quality education through academic integrity, and academic
integrity is a product of societal value systems. In this study, academic integrity is examined, as it
relates to global society. The value system of society is the key factor in building academic integrity,
which will, in the long run, affect the quality of education for sustainable development. The question is,
to what extent society affects academic integrity? This study applies the Virtue Theory of Ethics in a
qualitative methodology of an evaluation research design, using a thematic analysis instrument to
answer the question. In any society, certain things are compromised once the value system changes. To
imbibe the culture of academic integrity, societal values must promote a system for such to thrive. If
not, everyone wants things for the wrong reasons. This leads to a dearth of ability to perform, even
innovative research. Then, all the values of academic integrity become scarce commodities, and it
becomes difficult to cope with the required values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and
courage whether as students, teachers, researchers, workers, or leaders; this affects the quality of
education for innovative research and sustainable development. To imbibe the culture of academic
integrity in everyone, societal values must change from just having a certificate to having the ability to
perform duties innovatively as demanded by whatever the work requires
Effect of a Six-week Dry-land Resistance Training on Swimming Endurance of Swimmers in Lead City International School, Ibadan, Nigeria
(Lead City University Ibadan, 2023) Adebimpe Rukayat OLALERE; Solomon Adekunle ADEYANJU; Olawale Oluwaseun OLADAPO
Swimming performance is a diverse activity combining energy, kinetic, motor control,
anthropometrics, and swimming strength. The use of dry land training for swimmers has received little
to no attention in several Nigerian researches. Therefore, this study interest was to examine the effects
of a 6-week dry-land resistance training on swimming endurance of swimmers in Lead City
International School Ibadan. Pretest-posttest control group experimental research design using
matched participants with a 2x2 factorial matrix was adopted for this study. Fifty-two swimmers were
selected to take part in the study. The participants were assigned into control group (26) and
experimental group (26). Experimental group were made to go through six weeks dry-land resistance
training Programme, while the control group were made to undergo 20 minutes of benefits of exercise
lesson for six weeks. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics of Analysis of
Co-variance (ANCOVA). The result revealed that there was a significant main effect of treatment on
2
swimming endurance(F =102.087, p<0.05, ç =0.676) of swimmers. Also, there was no significant (1,49)
2 main effect of sex on swimming endurance(F =0.718, p>0.05, ç =0.401). Furthermore, there was no (1,49)
significant interaction effect of treatment by sex on swimming Endurance(F =5.524, p<0.05, (1,47)
2
ç =0.023). It was concluded that resistance training on dry-land improved swimmers' swimming
abilities. Therefore, it was suggested that coaches be taught on the advantages of adopting dry-land
training to enhance swimming performance. Also, dry-land resistance training should be used by
swimming instructor so as to reduce swimming injuries.
