INTRODUCTION
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 CORRUPTION
could 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.
