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
