Abstract

Recent complaints from employers of graduates from Nigerian Universities largely concern their employability. Although, several studies have been conducted on factors responsible for effective teaching and learning in university classrooms, it seems much have not been done on students’ cohesion and voice engagement in Nigerian university classrooms, which calls for critical investigation, in order to ensure the achievement of predetermined educational goals at the university level. The researchers, therefore, investigated students' cohesion and voice engagement dynamics in Nigerian universities’ classrooms to enhance effectiveness in teaching and learning. Non-experimental design of correlational research was adopted. Multistage sampling procedure was employed to select samples for the study. Two geo-political zones (Northcentral and Southwest) were selected using a stratified random sampling technique. Two public universities (one Federal and one State) and seven faculties were randomly selected from each selected geo-political zone. A total of 1,679 undergraduates were selected using proportionate-to-size sampling. Students’ Cohesion and Voice Engagement Dynamics Questionnaire (SCVEDQ) designed and validated was used for data collection and its reliability yielded 0.79. Data was analysed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling PLS-SEM. Results indicated that a significant causal relationship exists between students’ cohesion and self-esteem β=0.195, t=2.017, p
