The primary objective of the school as an organization is to effect learning in the learners which they can demonstrate both in attitude and in their mental and adjustment behaviours. In Education, emphasis is laid on three domains of the educational objectives. These are cognitive (mental) domain, affective (behavioural) domain, and psychomotor (hand) domain. However, to achieve these three essential domains, the learner should respond to the three objectives under certain conditions. These conditions affect how the learner learns and also his willingness to learn. This paper therefore, examines the effects of the factors that affect the learner’s desire to learn and also proffers solution to the problems inhibiting the positive effects in teaching and learning under psycho-socio-physical parameters.
River tourism occurs on the water or along the riverside. River tourism includes water rafting, cruises, boat vacations, canoeing, riverside walks, and riverside cycling. River tourism is a consequence of post-industrialization tourism evolution. Since post-industrialization, human beings have returned to recognizing rivers' natural attributes. River tourism teaching offers the concept of river tourism, urban river tourism, river cruising, and construction of tourism facilities. The paper suggests that the river cruise is developed in Europe and the Yangtze River. Also, river tourism teaching stresses the ecological value and sustainable tourism.

The main purpose of the study was to ascertain if academic excellence is a yardstick for employability in the Nigerian labour market. The study was guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses. The population consisted of 173 Business Education graduates from public tertiary institution offering Business Education programme in Enugu State in the 2019/2020 academic session. No sampling was carried out since the population was manageable. The instrument used for data collection was a 17-itemed questionnaire developed by the researcher. The instrument was validated by three experts and the reliability of the instrument was determined using Crombach Alpha which yielded reliability index of 0.88. The instrument was administered by the researcher. 160 out of 173 copies of the questionnaire were well responded to, returned and therefore, used for data analysis representing 93 percent return rate. Mean and standard deviation were used for data analysis and correlation statistics was used to test the null hypotheses. Findings showed that: High and low achievers get jobs at same rate, Doing well on the job does not depend on grade, High achievers are more creative on jobs, Employers seek skills more than grade, Good grade does not guarantee employability, Job creation is targeted at both high and low achievers are some of the factors to prove that academic excellence is not a yardstick for employability in Nigeria. The null hypotheses showed that no significant relationship exist in the mean responses of high and low achieving Business Education graduates in public tertiary institutions in Enugu State on the itemized variables. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that Attention should be shifted from academic excellence as yardstick for employability in Nigeria so that students are not pressured into dubious means just to graduate with high grades since findings of the study has shown that the both variables has no direct relationship. Employment opportunities should be massively created for all enough for both high and low academic performers since the findings of the study revealed that those with low academic performance can also have valuable skills capable of keeping them on the job for as long as they intend to.
