CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The home is
a first contact of a child in life hence it is a place where comfort, love,
tranquility and refuge are expected to be adequately and unconditionally
provided, it is also a place where people congregate their living practices.
Home is a primary agent of socialization and internalization, a child’s social
outlooks, educational agilities and achievements coupled with his intelligence
is a reflection of his home setting and which usually associated with his
family background in totality. As a result of these, home is any child’s
environment of which the child can not do without referring to at one time or
the other as regards to certain issues. Therefore home is a determining factor
in any child’s behaviour and thus influences his academic performance.
The home
consist of the children’s vicinity and apartment where they rest their head. It
is abundantly clear that a successful learning and reading requires a conducive
and decent atmosphere. The relationship between couple must be cordial in order
to be breed peaceful coexistence and understanding. But lack of understanding
among couples breeds frustration and sorrow to the children and the family as a
whole.
1.2 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The
influence of broken homes on students’ academic performance is designed to
unveil the state of mind of the individual child in context as a result of the
family background and its likely effects or influence on both academic
performance and subsequent formation of philosophy in life. A critical examination of a child whose
parents are separated and being trained either by his step father or mother a
relative or guidance may be subjected to unpleasant environment that could
alter his normal disposition trite that could foster and facilitate normal
expectation of his academic performance.
There is
great prospensity for a child from broken home to mingle and associate with
miscreant due to his explosive street hawking by his guidance. The end result
of this exposure are emulation of all
negative habit, such as stealing, gambling, pilfering, disobedient, truancy and
other odd values, instead of staying in the school to learn. Unarguably, the
child becomes problem, mentally and physically not only to himself but to the
society in general which invariably affects his academic performance. The aim of marriage is to enable couple to
live together and bring up their children in a healthy atmosphere with sound
education, so that such children would be able to live an independent and
purposeful live.
It is not
only when the marriage collapse or couples are separated or divorce that a home
is regarded broken. The type of love, cordial relationship and understanding
that exist between couples is a clear indication of the type of home built. A broken home is a home where the children
are left to their own idea, belief and traits due to lack of care, affection
and control by their parents. The causes of broken home could be traced to lack
of understanding between couples, childlessness, persistent delivery of same
sex by wife against the desire of her husband (for example female against
male), parental interference into the affairs and management of couples, bad
associates, infidelity poverty, cultural and individual variations,
irresponsible behaviors, such as coming home lately from work, complaining of
non-payment of salary after he might have squandered his salary somewhere
unprofitable, negligence of paternal responsibilities such as children
education, care, health, provision of food and other basic needs, bringing other
women (concubine) to his matrimonial home. Such marriage /union is prone to
disintegration, when this happens parents would not be able to bring up their
children with one voice, this is another militating factor against children
performance at school.
A child from
broken home is likely to stay away from school without plausible reason, such a
child will take the advantage of the fact that his parents can no longer
monitor his movement. Most children from broken homes are characterized by
laziness, low intelligence quotient, bad and anti-social behaviour, once there
is separation, the child will not be opportuned to settle down for a peaceful
life with own parent or the others. Maslow argued in his theory of sequential
development, that man has five basic needs, in hierarchical order, the need for
belongingness and love takes priority and the likely place a child gets this is
from his parents but once these elude him owing to parental inability to such
provision it hinders the overall development of the child and to an extreme it
disturbs the child’s emotion, social and academic performances.
1.3 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The
influence of home on students’ academic performance is the concern of teachers,
school authority and society as a whole. Despite the fact that society and
people are at the receiving end of the disastrous effects of broken homes, yet
some couples seek divorce in courts while many simply dissolve their marriage
or union silently and unceremoniously. This research work is to enquire if the
students academic performance is as a result of broken home or nonchalant
altitude of students towards the school work.

The study is
an eye-opener to parents, it will enable them to know the model they portray
before their children, adverse effects of an option for divorce or separation
will be known before taken. In the other hand guidance will also benefit from
this study as it will enable them to understand better on how to handle victims
and the types of attention treatment to be given. Teachers as a conventional
custodian of socialization would better understand the victim (child) and his
family background and ways to further assisting him towards his academic
achievement. The study will also assist marriage counselors better on how and type
of pre-marriage and post marriage counseling to be given to prospective and
