CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
Guidance can
be said to have started all over the world as a movement at the beginning of
20th Century as a reaction to change process in an industrialized society.
Guidance services were set up within the department of education in September
1968 when a consultant Louis, made recommendations and was sent over to Nigeria
by United Nation’s Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO),
(Summit, 1997). Globally, guidance as a major service is an essential element
in management of discipline among the people in any society. It could be
difficult for any society to function well without the maintaining of
discipline.
School
guidance programs have therefore been introduced to assist students overcome
numerous challenges they experience at home and at school in other to yield
positive result in their academic achievement and performances. Nziramasanga
(1999) states that because of many environmental pressures imposed on the
family, parents tend to spend little time with their children to give them the
necessary guidance which might go a long way to affect their academic
performances. However, the parents expect the school to provide solutions to
the indiscipline caused by their negligence in their children (UNESCO, 2002).
Nigerian adults have become more concerned with earning money and are less
bothered by traditional practices that formerly contributed to the upbringing
of young people.
In Nigeria,
the need for guidance and counseling in schools has been recognized when a
survey was done on 20 school counselors selected from different states of the
federation and the main problems examined. It was noted that, there is great
need for a clear rationale and guidelines for Guidance and Counseling programs,
and also the Guidance Counselors (Taylor and Francis, 1998).
The main
goal is to help the counselee learn to deal more effectively with himself
anytime he/she is in trouble and the reality of his environment so as to
improve the counselee’s academic performances.
Allis and
Kame (1999) conducted a survey in Alexandria in Egypt on indiscipline among
2170 preparatory and secondary school students attending mainstream
governmental schools, in this study Indiscipline among school students and its
predictors were investigated. Few indiscipline cases were related to family
background whereas the majority was related to the children themselves and
according to the research it has a major effect on the academic performance of
these students. Schools are social organizations which have several objectives
to achieve and role in guidance of students in shaping their academic
performances.
Guidance is
a rudimentary ingredient that plays a crucial role in school system and insists
on upholding the social and moral values of students. It is intended to
suppress, control and redirect behavior. In a school system all students must
be aware of the rules laid down through thorough guidance before disciplinary
action can be administered, in which this has been a key factor to better
academic performance in students. (Franken, 1998). The idea of relating
discipline and guidance helps to determine the value of G&C to students in
schools with respect to their academic performance.
Schools as
well as parents share the responsibility of promoting values and standards
which we believe will help younger people to establish not just sound academic
performances but sound behavioral codes for their lives, hence parents and
schools should ensure good discipline is maintained among students at all
times. However, greater effort should also be made by the Ministry of Education
to offer competent Guidance and counseling teachers not only to help students
to perform well in their academics but also in developing an understanding of
one self and of others, supporting students to deal with their personal-
social, academic and career related concerns.
Guidance
also helps to facilitate development of effective study habits, motivation,
identifying learning or subject related problems, helping students to see the
relevance of school years in life and for future, developing skills, right
attitude and interests to help making a choice in career.
Guidance and
counseling, thus, promotes holistic development of every student. This shows
the need for every teacher to become a ‘guidance minded’ teacher in the course
of carrying out his/her duties with aim of making impacts in the students’
lives.
A major
turning point in adolescents’ lives involves the career choice that they make
while in senior secondary school. However, this decision plays a major role in
establishing youth in a career path that opens as well as closes opportunities
depending on the strength of guidance they are subjected to. Adolescents with
special needs like those with severe mental retardation may not even complete
secondary school education because of their unique characteristics, proper
guidance will assist these adolescents in their career development as early as
possible. Guidance expose students to numerous career development activities in
order to help them choose occupations, prepare for, enter into them
successfully.
STATEMENT OF
PROBLEM
It is a
great concern for stakeholders to see students still performing poorly in their
academics despite the numerous ways in which they are guided either by their
teachers or parents which seems to be caused by inability of the students to
follow the laid down rules and regulations. Despite the fact that, guidance and
counseling programs are made available in both homes and in schools, there is
still great height of indiscipline among student which contributed has
influence on their academic performance. The researcher intended to examine the
influence of guidance on academic performance of students.
