*UNIDEL Students Excel ln Practical Class*
Two
hundred and four hundred levels Students of the Department of Arts and
Social Science Education, University of Delta, Agbor, have demonstrated a
high level of practical experience, thereby sending a strong signal to
the world that UNIDEL remains the best in academic excellence and
innovative research.
The students
displayed outstanding practical experience in courses such as
priorities of Social Studies Education ( ESS 403) and Kinship and
Marriage ( ESS 207).
The
lecturer, in charge of the two courses, Dr. (Mrs.) Juliet Nkeonyeasua
Ossai explained that kinship and marriage were fundamental aspects of
social studies focusing on social structures and relationships within
families and communities.
To
deepen the students' understanding of the concepts, she engaged them
from different ethnic backgrounds and showcased practical knowledge.
Dressed
in different attires showing their tribes which included lgbo, Hausa,
Yoruba, Ndokwa, lka, Edo, Urhobo, and Igalla, the students demonstrated
real life cases of traditional marriage procedures and traditional
food.
Under the supervision of
Dr. ( Mrs.) Ossai, the students prepared different traditional soup such
as ujuju soup, ofikere, ofede, ewedu, and black soup. They were served
with fufu, amala, and starch to the admiration of the staff and other
students.
In an exclusive
interview with The UNIDEL Media Team, the students Ukah Onyeka, Nwose
Kate, Okoye Gloria, Shalom, Abby Faith Oluwa, Ogabo Susan and James
Elizabeth expressed gratitude to the department for giving them the
opportunity to put into practice what they were taught in class.
The
Head of the Department, Dr.( Mrs.) Helen Ajudeonu, who was visibly
overwhelmed by the performance of the students, commended the University
Management for creating the enabling environment for practical
learning.
She noted that the
Priorities of Social Studies Education as a course helps the students to
comprehend the complexities of societal issues such as inequality,
justice, and human rights. She added that it enables the students to
gain insights into tackling possible global challenges like climate
change, conflict, and domestic violence.
She
stressed further that the practical experience has reminded the
students,the importance of their dialect, traditional food and the need
to marry from any tribe as marrying within the same ethnic group is not a
guarantee for a successful married life.
Dr.
Ajudeonu thanked the lecturers in the department for their high level
of commitment, co-operation, contributions, and unwavering support
towards the academic growth of the students.
She enjoined the students to remain focused, disciplined, and target excellent results.
