THE
CONSEQUENCES OF INDISCIPLINE ON STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
CHAPTER ONE
1.0INTRODUCTION
The problem
of moral meltdown has always featured in the Nigerian society of which
secondary school students are inclusive. It poses a great threat to the homes,
schools and the society in general; hence, the need to control it remains a
great challenge to the agencies concerned.
Never in
history has the degree or scope of indiscipline been as high as witnessed today in our
schools. In fact, the level of indiscipline, its affects and severity of the
problem reached its climax in 1991 when then Nigerian Minister of Education,
Professor Babatunde Fafunwa declared the situation as “state of national
emergency”. To this effect, he summoned
the national conference of principals of secondary and other higher schools to
deliberate on the problems of examination leakages, students unrest, drug abuse
and other forms of indiscipline in the secondary schools.
According to
Fafunwa (1991), the concern for deterioration indiscipline and standard has
become too obvious now to leave any doubt of necessity of taking a major step
in order to alter the course of events. The reason for this upward trend is not
farfetched whereas the moral decadence problem spread rapidly, its treatment
has been rather piecemeal and ad-hoc in nature.
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
According to
Adeyemo (1972) education is a vital tool for the development of a country many
problems has been hindering the educational development of Nigerian children.
Despite the
fact the education is the backbone of nay economy in the whole world
indiscipline cannot be over emphasised due to the fact that growth on
development of a nation in terms of science and technology.
Therefore,
there is no definite answer to the question of indiscipline which has been
reported on the radio and magazine.
In 1977, the
issue reached such a critical point when the military personnel should be
posted to school in order to maintain discipline among the students. Then, in
the late 1979 the nation policy development centre (think
thank) organised a conference workshop on discipline.
The same
theme of discipline continues to recall in public speech seminars and
conferences.
However, in
1998, then the military government waged war against indiscipline introducing
(WAR AGAINST INDISCIPLINE) both in schools and society.
Then the introduction
of WAR AGAINST INDISCIPLINE AND CORRUPTIONcould not be over emphasized by late
general Sanni Abacha in order to eradicate indiscipline in government
parastatals and among the civil servant through the reversed is the case due to
the dishonest of the top officials in their administration.
In almost
all the secondary and tertiary levels committees have been set up to look into the problem of
indiscipline especially this time of cultist case that is so rampant in society
and schools.
According to
Lawal 1998, Federal Government and concern organisation e.g. PTA could not lay
their head over the problem of indiscipline in the country.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
There is
misconception of the meaning of indiscipline among the scholars and educators.
According to
Alter (1982) a great educationist is looking of training especially the mind
and character and being unable to produce self control and habit of obedience.
Indiscipline
also means a system of being unable to guide the individual to make a
reasonable decision.
In a classroom teaching in discipline means
inability of a teacher to have the effective control of class by ways of
instruction and enforcement of schools rules, regulation in order to achieve
desirable behaviour.
In spite of
the fact that federal government set up different committee over the problem of
indiscipline reported from various institution of learning affecting academic
performance. Hence, the researcher interested in doing something tangible about
the problem with the followings:
- Investigate the cause of indiscipline in
schools
- Find out the impact of indiscipline on
response of students in teaching learning situation.
- Find out how indiscipline affect the
society in general
- Find out the effort made by the
government to eradicate indiscipline in our schools.
- Lastly, suggest ways on how indiscipline
can be eradicated in our schools
- Lastly, suggest ways on how indiscipline
can be eradicated in our schools and society at large.
1.3 PURPOSE
OF THE STUDY
Discipline
is very important in a good school for without it, school life cannot fulfil
its purpose.
School
indiscipline should lead to self indiscipline in all children otherwise; it is
a failure (Bolarin, 1997)
No
institution of learning can function properly without good discipline, it is
unfortunate that today lack of indiscipline and self control in school and
colleges have resulted in grave consequences which often disrupt the smooth
running of the day to day activities of
the gross disobedience can be averted.
There is
need for good tone in school because if the tone of a school is good, means that
there is the staff produces self control, orderliness, obedience and power of
cooperation in school.
In
contribution to the good tone, discipline crates a strong personality coupled
with an alert, well tailored mind and a real sympathy with children, among the
staff. It makes it possible for them to have sympathy for the children in
making them discipline ones.
We
discipline in order to maintain peace and order in school.
According to
Lawal (1996) we also discipline to impose and train the character of the
students bring out respect from the children and to produce reliable self
control in the students.

response of students in teaching/learning situation.
In other

and how discipline affect their performance in the students the right knowledge
of understanding why the students in the school perform to enhance knowledge.
However, it
will enable the federal government to provide possible solution to the effect
of indiscipline on students and society.
Therefore,
the federal government should provide tools or proper measure to eradicate the
indiscipline on students and society.
