CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background to the Study

Indiscipline may be said to be as old as when men started to organize themselves into societies and consequently made laws to order their affairs. Indeed, mankind is a free moral agent. Because of this, he is disposed to different styles of behaviour. Moreover, such behaviours may make him good, rude or sarcastic (Sporgeon, 2021). Thousands of decades ago, indiscipline was so mild that it was termed as a way of life just like in the present world (Smith, 2023).

In fact, comparing yesterday’s news of indiscipline and that of today, the horizon and the altitude is quite hazardous (Gregory, 2020). Different people have different perceptions, and every perception goes with a condition-An example of Indiscipline behaviour is cited from the scriptures, being that behaviour is man’ and ‘man is behaviour and Indiscipline is the behaviour of man.

 

However, in Exodus 32, Israelite being the first born of God called out, chosen and predestined to be a blessing to the world was affected by the cankerworm Indiscipline. God gave them a law such weakness was as a result of the animated nature of man. This weakens of the flesh is the sources of indiscipline.

Furthermore, indiscipline according to Ekpo (2020) is the state of disregard to laid down rules and regulations thereby, producing disordered behaviour in the individual. In addition, according to him, discipline required self control while Indiscipline is lack of self control.

Undeniably, a disciplined person is mindful of what he says, what he does and the way he reacts to different situation. Therefore Indiscipline in an individual cannot be control except by one’s own willingness to adjust for positive changes.

 

INDISCIPLINE BEHAVIOUR AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS

An Indiscipline Individual Lacks training of the mind and character, which would not produce an orderly behaviour in him. Since Indiscipline talks more about the Indiscipline character, learning also is character wise. Learning involves change in behaviour, and when behaviour is changed, character is also inclusive. This is due to the fact that Education brings out the good in man and informs us that ignorance will bring negative results when indiscipline behaviour are displayed. It is of outmost importance that teacher devise a measure to tame wild behaviour so as to infill a learning spirit that will instill changes in the behaviour.

Also, parents form the cultivating environment for the child and the environment that parents nurse a child in, affects that child. A child that is nursed in a place that is so noisy, uncultured, and polluted with individuals that are not disciplined, when that child grows up he would exhibit such behaviours. Also, children whose parents are disciplined and have good moral foundations would behave well, most especially in an environment of learning. Indiscipline behaviour and academic performance of students in secondary schools.

 

The study here aims to know how the performance of students in their academics is affected by indiscipline behaviour. The reaction of either positive or negative behaviour of students towards the study of business studies is a product of their Indiscipline behaviours.

Could the behaviour of the child be as a result of these problems or by the nature of that person. Indeed, how has Indiscipline behaviour in the child. As a disciplined person what ways can we foster discipline in the child, in order to build up a learning spirit and disciplined mind in the child as a pillar that holds the foundation of discipline and shakes out the indiscipline behaviour that could be tread to it.

 

1.2 Statement of the Problem

It has been generally observed in various quarters that the academic performance of students in business studies in public examination is in the decline (Ministry of Education 2021) with each successive passing year and one may wonder why such a negative trend should be allowed to flourish unchecked.

Moreover, this issue should be focused on, to reduce the level of low performances of students towards learning. Student’s performance in lower secondary education is related to motivation to learn at school.

However, across various empirical studies, a clear pattern emerges. If a student is motivated to learn, he or she performed better in school (eg Guay and Vallerand 2023, Pintinch and Degrott 2020) notably a consistent findings in research in academic motivation is that motivation tends to decline after transition from primary to secondary education. Indiscipline behaviour and academic performance of students in secondary schools.

With this issues of poor academic performance of students in Business studies particularly in Nsit Ibom Local Government Area has been of much concern to all and Sundry. Thus, the summary of students’ revealed this trend. The poor performances according to Danesy (2023), explained that these factors tends not to produce high academic achievement and performance. Therefore, this study aimed to examine indiscipline behaviour and academic performance of students in secondary schools.

 

1.3   Purpose of the Study   

The main purpose of this study was examine indiscipline behaviour and academic performance of students in secondary schools. Specifically, the study aimed to:

(i)     To examine whether Indiscipline behaviour of the students influence their academic performance.

(ii)    To examine whether family background has any influence in the Indiscipline behaviour of students in junior secondary schools.

(iii)    To examine whether the environment of the students has any influence on its indiscipline behaviour of students.

 

1.4   Significance of the Study

The study will be important in the following ways. It will be of immense benefits to the Government, Principals, Teachers, Parents, Society, as well as Students Researchers. The findings will help the government or policy makers in formulating effective planning and implementation of policies and programs for that will address indiscipline behaviour in junior secondary school among Business studies students in Nsit Ibom Local Government Area.

It will help the parents in determining the appropriate strategy and school that will promote discipline behaviour among their children. It will be of benefits to the student researchers as it will provide a valid working document or literature in investigating other areas not covered by this study. Thus, it will serve as a profit of reference to future researchers in the field. Indiscipline behaviour and academic performance of students in secondary schools.

The findings will help the society to take strategies measures to reduce the rate of crimes in the society. With this there would be peace progress and mutual understanding among people in the society.

 

1.5   Research Questions 

(i)     To what extend does Indiscipline behaviour of the students influence their academic performance.

(ii)    To what extend does the Indiscipline family background influence the academic performance of students.

(iii)    To what extend does the Indiscipline environment influence the academic performance of students.

 

1.6   Research Hypothesis

(i)     There is no significant influence between Indiscipline family background and academic Performance.

(iii)    There is no significant influence between indiscipline behaviour and academic performance.

(ii)    There is no significant influence between indiscipline environment and academic performance.

 

1.7   Limitation of the Study

There are many problems that the researcher encounter in the course of this study. Some of these are: The period given for completion of this study could hardly be enough for a wider and more in depth research. Lack of fund to procure necessary materials for the study also posed serious problems and unpredicted school strike pose limiting factor.

Conclusion

Based on the result obtained from the study, it was concluded that indiscipline family influence academic performance of students in Business Studies, indiscipline behaviour influence academic performance of students in Business Studies and indiscipline environment influence academic performance of students in Business Studies.
