ABSTRACT
This paper focuses on Corruption and Value Re-Orientation in Nigeria: Implication to Science Education. The paper defines what corruption and value re-orientation are doing dishonest illegal or immoral things in order to gain money or power and value re-orientation as the principles of right of an individual or social change according to Advance Learner Dictionary. Corruptions in Science also discussed in detailed among which are vaccine defenders, human guinea pig, vaccine-autism among others.
Challenges of value re-orientation in Nigeria include parental care, societal influence and drug abuse is discussed in details. Also there is need for value re-orientation in Nigeria among which are religions and ethnic sentiments, the family need to re-orient their wards against the ills of the society. Some recommendations were proffered among which is: there should be a programme  for value re-orientation in Nigeria especially research on the core values and how Nigerians can internalize the value and also programmes should be put in place for socialization of children to return to family values.

INTROODUCTION

Human Society exists for individual and group life. Societal rules are made by people and the same rules guide the behavior of citizens. Situation in the society warrant members to have value things as good or bad. Man’s efforts in any given situation are geared towards survival. Enu and Esu (2011), noted that values are basic beliefs and attitude in the society whether of individuals or groups which are considered worthwhile and serve as guide to choices and behaviors in our daily lives. Esu (2009), further Defines Values as ideas that guides or qualify your personal conduct, interaction with others and involvement in your carrier. Values help to inform one on how he or she can conduct once life in meaningful way. Different  school of thought therefore consider values to mean trade, practices, acts, ideas, beliefs, attitude and principles that a group a society acknowledge to be of merit, worthwhile, clear, acceptable and right. Values are therefore deep seated believes that influence peoples actions and behaviors. It is therefore essential that every individual, group and indeed the entire nations must have core values which serve as the driving engines for growth and development (NOA, 2009).

SCIENCE TEACHER EDUCATION: A PANACEA FOR CLIMATE CHANGE AND IMPLICATION FOR MATHEMATICS TEACHER EDUCATION

SCIENCE TEACHER EDUCATION: A PANACEA FOR CLIMATE CHANGE AND IMPLICATION FOR MATHEMATICS TEACHER EDUCATION Aliyu M. Waziri, Udonsa A. Ezekiel and 3 Esaduwha S. Obukohwo 1&2 Department of Mathematics and 3 Department of Physics Federal College of Education, Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria ABSTRACT In this paper, mathematics is used for describing, predicting and communicating climate change. We used the perspective of critical mathematics education to examine how mathematics is constructed in reporting climate change. We took into consideration the importance of mathematical modelling. Our discussion is referenced by a newspaper report and a policy document. In ourargument, human mathematical activity and the role of human activity in causing climate change are all largely invisible.  Mathematics education has an important role to play in making the invisible visible. Keywords: Climate, Mathematics Education, Mathematics Modelling.
