CHAPTER ONE
Objective of Study
the objectives are to:
- Ascertain the nature of environmental hazards that Early Childhood pupils are exposed to
- Determine the effect of treatment on Early Childhood pupils reduction in vulnerability to environmental hazards
- Assess the effect of pupils’ gender in reduction of vulnerability to environmental hazards

- To suggest preventive measures in the reduction of Early Childhood pupils’ vulnerability to environmental hazards
CHAPTER TWO
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Introduction
Modern education and communication environments can offer alternative ways in the learning process. Technology has been widely used in educational technologies. It is very near when multimedia tools will be perfect utilization in education sector. Using interactive multimedia in the teaching process is growing in the present context. Interactive learning plays a very important role in assisting students in learning processes. It has possibility to enhance the early education system with multimedia technologies. The positive impact of the developed program on student’s abilities is to understand new knowledge or skills. Multimedia education offers an alternative to traditional education that can enhance the current methods and provide an alternative. Similarly, another group of researchers developed an English short play as a teaching material to promote children’s (second language learners) English learning attitude and interests that was presented to all classmates and evaluated by three professors. The findings of the study reveal that incorporating project-based learning into the development of an English short play can effectively guide students in creating the short play effectively. Animation media can help children to adopt their English vocabulary and receive higher average score than those who apply the normal one at statistical significance level. It is a beneficial teaching material to stimulate and support the learners, especially at 5 to 6 years old to enjoy the class with good results. Some work conducted at Sri Lankan universities in integrating web-based learning and interactive computer aided language learning in English as a Second Language and foreign languages proved to be most successful in enhancing student performance. This promising multimedia technology is worthy for both school and higher education. An interactive multimedia courseware with storytelling approach supports learning process and the knowledge could be delivered and recognized easier. It is obvious that method of interaction design for enhancing children’s cognitive ability is essential. Interactive materials are effective for pre-school students. They can adopt with materials very quickly. Islam wanted to know the feeling of students when learning materials was playing.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research design
The researcher used descriptive research survey design in building up this project work the choice of this research design was considered appropriate because of its advantages of identifying attributes of a large population from a group of individuals. The design was suitable for the study as the study sought to associating Animation with Concrete Models in Reducing Vulnerability of Early Childhood Pupils to Environmental Hazards in Agege Lagos State.
Sources of data collection
Data were collected from two main sources namely:
- Primary source and
- Secondary source
Primary source:
These are materials of statistical investigation which were collected by the research for a particular purpose. They can be obtained through a survey, observation questionnaire or as experiment; the researcher has adopted the questionnaire method for this study.
Secondary source:
These are data from textbook Journal handset etc. they arise as byproducts of the same other purposes. Example administration, various other unpublished works and write ups were also used.
CHAPTER FOUR
PRESENTATION ANALYSIS INTERPRETATION OF DATA
Introduction
Efforts will be made at this stage to present, analyze and interpret the data collected during the field survey. This presentation will be based on the responses from the completed questionnaires. The result of this exercise will be summarized in tabular forms for easy references and analysis. It will also show answers to questions relating to the research questions for this research study. The researcher employed simple percentage in the analysis.
DATA ANALYSIS
The data collected from the respondents were analyzed in tabular form with simple percentage for easy understanding.
A total of 133(one hundred and thirty three) questionnaires were distributed and 133 questionnaires were returned.
CHAPTER FIVE
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Introduction
It is important to ascertain that the objective of this study was to ascertain associating Animation with Concrete Models in Reducing Vulnerability of Early Childhood Pupils to Environmental Hazards in Agege Lagos State
In the preceding chapter, the relevant data collected for this study were presented, critically analyzed and appropriate interpretation given. In this chapter, certain recommendations made which in the opinion of the researcher will be of benefits in addressing the challenge of animation with Concrete Models in Reducing Vulnerability of Early Childhood Pupils to Environmental Hazards
Summary
This study was on associating Animation with Concrete Models in Reducing Vulnerability of Early Childhood Pupils to Environmental Hazards in Agege Lagos State. Five objectives were raised which included: Ascertain the nature of environmental hazards that Early Childhood pupils are exposed to, determine the effect of treatment on Early Childhood pupils reduction in vulnerability to environmental hazards, assess the effect of pupils’ gender in reduction of vulnerability to environmental hazards, ascertain the interaction effect of treatment and gender in the reduction of vulnerability to environmental hazards and to suggest preventive measures in the reduction of Early Childhood pupils’ vulnerability to environmental hazards. In line with these objectives, two research hypotheses were formulated and two null hypotheses were posited. The total population for the study is 200 staff of primary schools in Agege Lagos State . The researcher used questionnaires as the instrument for the data collection. Descriptive Survey research design was adopted for this study. A total of 133 respondents made up headmaster, headmistresses, senior staff and junior staff was used for the study. The data collected were presented in tables and analyzed using simple percentages and frequencies
Conclusion
However, the degree of improvement in students’ academic performance may largely depend on the design of the animated content and also on the mode of presentation of instruction material in the classroom. The study reveal that animation also reduce environmental hazard
Recommendation
Government should procure multimedia devices and organize seminars for science teacher on the need to imbibe latest teaching culture.
Science teachers should incorporate the use of cartoon style animation teaching to complement their traditional chalk-talk method of instructional delivery.
