Peter A. Okebukola, OFR, is a distinguished professor of science and computer education at Lagos State University, Nigeria. He had his higher education at the University of Ibadan where he obtained his Bachelor’s, Master’s and Ph.D degrees in Science Education. He had specialised science and technology training at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), and Harvard University, both in Cambridge, USA. He is a Fellow of the International Academy of Education and between 1998 and 2007 was the African Representative on the Executive Committee of the International Council of Associations for Science Education. He is a Fellow of the Science Association of Nigeria (SAN), Fellow and President of the Nigerian Association for Environmental Education and Fellow and past President of the Science Teachers Association of Nigeria (STAN). He was concurrently the Chairman of Council of four Nigerian universities. He is currently the Chairman of Council of National Open University of Nigeria, Chairman, Board of Trustees, Crawford University, Chairman, Board of Trustees of Caleb University, Member, Board of Trustees of Bells University of Technology, Afe Babalola University and Executive Chairman, Okebukola Science Foundation. He was Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission. He has been awarded a number of honorary D.Sc degrees. He is the recipient of the National Honour of the Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic- OFR. He was Chairman of the US-based Advisory Council of the CHEA International Quality Group (CIQG).
He was Director of the Virtual Institute for Higher Education Pedagogy and Co-Director of UNESCO’s Virtual Institute for Higher Education in Africa. He has served as lead facilitator to deliver online training to over 10,000 academics in 62 universities in Africa. He was leader of the E-learning Programme for federal civil servants in Nigeria involving over 70,000 participants. He has served as team leader of several quality assurance projects involving UNESCO, the African Union, the World Bank, Association of African Universities and the Global University Network for Innovation (GUNI-Africa).
He has been involved in popularising science in Africa since 1986 and served as consultant to many African countries in popularising science especially among the youth and underserved communities, notably girls, nomads and rural dwellers.
His research efforts have gravitated around five central themes - computers in education and e-learning, co-operative learning, metacognitive strategies in science education, environmental education, and eco-cultural influences on the learning of science concepts. These efforts have resulted in over 160 internationally published works and over 200 national and international conference presentations.
Some of his works on co-operative learning, metacognition, and eco-culture and science have appeared in the American Biology Teacher, School Science and Mathematics, Science Education, Journal of Research in Science Teaching, European Journal of Science Education (International Journal of Science Education) Journal of Social Psychology, International Journal of Educology, Research in Science Education, Human Relations, Educational Research, Journal of Biological Education, Journal of Chemical Education, Educational Perspectives, Instructional Science, and Research in Science and Technological Education, among several others. Some of the major finding of his research in computers in education have appeared in Educational Research, and Journal of Educational Technology Systems.
He is the inventor of the culturo-techno-contextual (CTC) approach to science teaching and learning that is gaining global acclaim as a tool for breaking barriers to meaningful learning of difficult concepts in STEM. Professor Okebukola has served as Team Leader of several quality assurance projects involving UNESCO, the African Union, the World Bank, Association of African Universities and the Global University Network for Innovation (GUNi-Africa).
