    A REHABILITATION CENTRE FOR THE DESTITUTES
    (1962-06) FADIYA, Olusola
    My belief is that Architecture has something to offer not only the same but also the insame. There can be no operational definition of uhat consitute insanity nor can a demacation line be define between mental normality or healthiness on one hand and mental abnormality or illness on the other hand What do I mean by rehabilitation and who are the destitutes? Rehabilitation is an accessibility for disabled people to the public. It is a means to enable people who would otherwise be excluded to opt in and to participate on the same basis as able bodied colleagues, in the action of human living. The purpose of living is to make the most of being alive. The beatitudes are those for-saken. They are in utter uarits; entirely lacking, and deprived of basic needs for human living. To consider the destitudes as a whole (who could be due to blindness, deafness, phisical dis-orders of limbs - cripple, epilepsy and mental sickness) will be a very wide scope, which will be difficult to complete within this thesis. Thus the thesis is limited to the cured mentally ill people, who after being discharged from the psychiatric hospital, have lost place of work or distrint memory of trade, thus cannot fend for themselves. Hence the need for a transition from hospital life to community life. Rehabilitation centre for the destitudes has a combination of practical and theoretical remedies in its treatment. It is an instance of social concern reflected in Architectural Planning. The project therefare has a characteristic Architecture that merits special consideration because of their theoretical relevance and intellectual distinction. The centre will be more concerned with the behavoural aspect of the inmates than the medical aspect. The profoundly disability are taken care of by the psychiatric hospital. However, provision of small unit will be made in conjunction will the centre to cater for emergency relapse of inmates mental illness. The project should therefore be adaptable to all manner of purposes - prisons, hospitals, schools nnd places of worship (Church or Mosque). It should at last turn out to a village of co-operation, industrial, agricultural and educational activities potentially combined.

    The Application of Animation to Medical Illustration to elaborate Instruction
    (1968-07) Ibiyo, Titus Olaniyi
    The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not animated illustrations make a significant difference on learning if employed to teach learning concepts which exhibit moving objects and the analysis of motion; compared to other alternative static illustration materials. Chapter one represents an overview of the historical background of the role of art in the medical sciences; how detailed anatomical drawings and paintings of the early artists during the renaissance period influenced the contemporary scientists to give serious attention to the study of human anatomy. Several professional misconceptions held by the early medical practitioners were corrected and the application of the sum total of anatomical knowledge to surgery and medicine brought great improvements to medical practice. The researcher hypothetically postulates that many unresolved mysteries in physiology are as a result of the use of unconventional instructional media to teach physiological concepts. The primary objective of the study therefore is to employ animated video instruction which incorporates the attributes of movement and motion analysis to teach 'the Heart and Human Circulatory System1 under controlled conditions and compare it to other alternative static audio visual instructional channels. The review of related literature critically examines media instructional technology concepts from two perspectives: 1. The physical science (media) concept which concerns the application of physical science and engineering technology such as motion picture projectors, audio-tape recorders etc. for group presentation of instructional materials and 2. The behavioural science concept of instructional technology which states that educational practice should be more dependent on the methods of science as developed by behavioural scientists in the areas of psychology, anthropology and sociology. The researcher discusses the inherent instructional attributes of motion pictures and concludes that increased learning results can be achieved if instructional media are matched with learning tasks on the basis of shared characteristics. The development of instructional media research studies from 1918 to date was critically reviewed and concluded with an overview of the state of media comparison studies. Anoverview which points out not only what have been studied and how adequate the investigations have been but which takes note of gaps and areas of research inactivity; and how it has become necessary to propose this study which will adequately take care of the past research gaps. The experimental research approach characterized primarily by control, manipulation and randomization is applied to find a solution to the statement of research problem. The research population consists of medical and para-medical students in post secondary institutions in Nigeria. The accessible population which is representative of the target population consists of first year students of Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Jos and School of Nursing Jos University Teaching Hospital. The learning task is presented to five study groups through five channels of instruction: animated, video instruction, live teacher plus chart illustrations, live teacher plus slide illustrations, live- teacher plus 3 - D models and placebo group. Twenty objective questions which measure subjects' levels of comprehension and retention of facts are set to determine the instructional effectiveness of each of the five treatment variables. The relative effectiveness of each of the instructional media attributes is seen by comparing the gains made by a group that receives a different treatment with the gains made by another group that receives a different treatment. The research findings and data analysis in chapter four support the research hypothesis that animated video instruction which incorporates motion analysis and change dynamics will produce greater learning achievements than alternative statio illustration materials for elaborating learning tasks that Involve movement and the analysis of motion; and also previous postulations by media researchers that the media attributes of an instructional channel found to be congruent with the characteristics of a given learning task is nost suited for effective and efficient communication of the learning task. Chapter five summarizes the formulation of the subject matter, the experimental procedures and research findings. The researcher recommends that more experimental video or film instructions need be developed to validate further, the findings of this study.
