CHAPTER ONE | ||||
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
It is an accepted fact that
children learned reflective, that is their moral conscience in works and that
they waver in their obligation and attitude when they obey instructions. It is
either because they have not the least doubt as to the importance of the
command they have received or that they fear being reprimanded or punished for
such disobedience. Adeyemi (1978) said that indiscipline is a behaviour among pupils
who are maturing, seeking independence and looking for recognition as
individuals. It may manifest itself in stealing, fighting resistance of
authority, vandalism, shop lifting and truancy, noise making, examination
malpractice etc.
We are aware
that growth in crime, especially robbing with violence. Children delinquency
and nation are all problems associated with indiscipline. There is a steady
growth of vandalism in our schools and even at home. It is now fashionable in
the country for school children to engage in all forms of indiscipline. All
learning contains a measure of discipline the pupils is a learner and he is
only too part of the community in which he lives (home and in the school). From
the time a child first enters school and until he leaves it, his behaviour to a
large extent is influenced by the growth change going on in his body. The child
now needs to be guided or what he should do by parents, teachers and school
authorities concerned.
Indiscipline
among pupils in schools makes teaching uninteresting, especially when some
children misbehave in schools. Teachers find it very hard to punish the
children so as to deter them from such behaviour. Most of the problems people
experience in their homes, at school and in the society as a whole arise from
lack of self discipline or self control. On many occasions, nowadays the pupils
will refuse to obey their teachers. It is my duty to identify factors
responsible for indiscipline among pupils in primary schools in Ovia North East
Local Government Area of Edo State.
STATEMENT
OF PROBLEM
The problems of indiscipline
among primary school pupils in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo
State in particular and Edo State at large is alarming. The back down in
interpersonal relationship or in the observation of rules leads to disorder.
Indiscipline among pupils may manifest in stealing, fighting, staying away from
school, defiance of authority, vandalism, shop lifting and refusal to go to
school. There are expression of defiance and resentment which disrupts normal
school progress. Other problems that confront educational institutions are
school dropout because of failure in school subjects. This unruly behaviour might
be due to poor home background, peer group influence, mass media, drugs and
maladministration on the part of the school authority.
With
indiscipline among pupils in school in Ovia North East Local Government Area of
Edo State, teachers do not have enough time for teaching and learning. This is
a matter of concern. Besides, if not checked, pupils may graduate into audit
criminals.
