THE IMPACT
OF GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING SERVICES IN SOME SELECTED SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN DOKA
AREA
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Formal
guidance began in Nigeria towards the end of 1959. Guidance and counseling
service was introduced in kaduna state in 1983 following the directives from
the federal ministry of education quoted in the new national policy on
education.
The primary
objective of guidance and counseling in the secondary school is to assist
students in choosing career; selection of subjective, proper placement and good
study habit. The researcher has noticed that student’s behaviors such as poop
combination of subjects, lack of seriousness in studies and drug abuse may lead
to inappropriate choice of career. Due to these problems, there should be a
proper orientation on guidance and counseling to the junior secondary school
(JSS3) and senior secondary (SSI) students.
The aim of
this study is to find out if guidance and counseling service are yielding any
impact on the students behavior.
Over the
years, many researchers and authors including professional bodies, world
organizations and government agencies have spoken on the need for guidance and
counseling service in schools.
Oladele
(1987), Kalu (1992), Umom (1998), Abdulkareem (2001), Dikko (2001), Ekoji and
Ekoja (2001) pinpointed the place and importance of guidance programmes in the
Nigeria school system.
The
Executive Secretary of National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) Dr. Nuhu
A. Yakabu sometime ago stated that: “there should be a provision of guidance
and counseling in secondary school level.
Yakubu
(2002) opined that, “every post primary school should have a guidance and
counseling department which should organize career talks from time to time at
which distinguished professional would be invited as resource persons”.
The united
nations organization (UNO) had accepted the observation of the united nations
educational, scientific and cultural organization’s (UNESCO) report on the need
for organized guidance services at secondary school level which states that:
“African governments should perhaps consider providing more defined guidance
for secondary school pupils in the light of their economic, social and cultural
needs. Stronger guidance than in Europe will more reasonable in Africa because
many families are scarcely capable of reaching well informed decisions and
about the future of their children”. UNESCO 1962.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The aim of
guidance and counseling service in secondary schools is to assist students to
understand themselves, their problems and to be ale to solve these problems
without difficulties.
An
observation has been made by the researcher that in spite of the guidance and
counseling in secondary schools in Doka area some students still drop out of
school and some have non-chalant attitude toward their studies; others engage
in drug abuse and juvenile delinquencies. This has been a major concern to the
researcher and hence the decision to write this project so as to fine out if
really guidance and counseling service have the mush desired and expected
impacts on the students.
1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The purpose
of the study is to identify:
1. The
impact of guidance and counseling services in some selected secondary schools
in Doka area.
2. The
problems affecting guidance and counseling service in the schools.
3. The
attitudes of students towards guidance counsellors.
4. The
attitudes of parents towards their children’s career choices
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTION
The
following research question will guide this study:
1. Does socio
– economic background of parents at times make some parents impose pressure on
their wards early in life in terms of career choice?
2. Do peer
group have any influence on students towards nonchalant attitude to studies?
3. What is
the relationship between the students and the guidance and counseling teacher?
4. What is
the degree of students exposure to guidance and counseling service in some
selected schools in Doka area?
1.5 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Just like in
the case of a bread baker who must follow some steps in baking bread, so is the
case of a counselor who must follow a process in order ro solve the problem of
a client.
By going
thought the works of authors such as Nwoje (1987), Peterson and Nisenholz
(1991) and Okobiah (1992), there seem to be similarities and differences in their opinions. The
counseling process according to Okobiah has four stages which are as follow:
1.
Interviewing Stage: This stage is also known as the familiarization,
orientation or introductory stage. The counselor and the client meet for the
first time. The counselor inquires about the client’s name, class, parents,
friends, progress in school and his mission to the counselor’s office.
2. Working Stage: This is the stages the counselor
fully engages the client in discussion about what to do and how it will be done
concerning the problem of the client. Here the counselor uses different
techniques to diagnose the problem.
3. Terminator Stage: This means bringing an end
to the counseling relationship between
the counselor and the client. The termination could be due to the following
reasons: counseling goals have been achieved uncooperative attitude from the
client, the client may decide not to continue, referral to an expert or death
of counselor or client.
4. The
fourth stage is the follow up stage. This is the stage the counselor will want
to know what is happening to the client after termination.
These stages
in the theoretical framework are relevant to the work at hand because it will
help the researcher to know how the counselor will draw out the problem from
the client and the kind of solution he will proffer.
1.6 SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
This study
is most significant to students, teachers, parents and the society at large as
its importance can not be overemphasized. Students will benefit from this study
if guidance and counseling teacher actually play their role by helping in
understanding their personal social and academic problems and how to go about
solving them.
The aim of
formal education is to shape the behaviour of an individual.
That is
bringing about some desirable changes in the students behaviours.
Teachers
will benefit from the study if government
will play its role in funding guidance and counseling programme and
administrators properly manage the money. This incentive would boost the
teacher’s moral and they will produce quality student through effective
teaching and counseling.
Parents and
the society at large will benefit because they will produce competent and
responsible individuals.
This study
will help in making students to have good subject combination and help to
fulfill their career. The rate of drug abuse and addition among students will
be reduced because the negative impact of it will be pointed out to them; at
the end of which families and the society at large will have fulfilled
citizens.
1.7 DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY
This study
intends to investigate critically the impact of guidance and counseling service
in some selected secondary school in Doka area. These schools are: Rimi
College, Sardauna Memorial College, Maimuna Gwarzo Secondary School and
Government Girls Secondary School.
The
researcher has limited herself to these schools because they are nearer to her
and she can not go around all the secondary schools in Doka area. In addition
she is familiar with most of the students from these schools.
