Abstract
This study investigated effects of climate change on students learning ability in Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State. The population of this study comprised all 200 level students and above of Redeemers University. A total of 125 students constituted the sample. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The students were selected using stratified and simple random sampling techniques. An instrument was used to draw relevant information from the respondents. The instrument was a self designed questionnaire titled ‘Climate Change and Students Learning Ability Questionnaire’ (CCSLAQ). The validity of the instrument was ascertained by experts in management and reliability stood at 0-76 Research questions were answered using frequency counts, percentages, mean and standard deviation. Hypotheses were tested using t-test. All hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that climate and weather condition of the school is influenced by the climatic factors which in turn affect the learning ability of students. It also revealed that there is no significant difference in the effects of climate change on the learning ability of students based on gender and level of study. It was concluded that climate change factors have negative effects on the students and thus disrupt their learning ability. The study therefore recommended that lecturers should be enlightened on the effects of climate change and the role to play in order to enhance the learning ability of students. Researches on how to reduce the effects of climate change on tertiary students’ learning ability should also be supported by the government and education stakeholders.
