FAMILY
FACTORS AS DETERMINANTS OF DEVIANT BEHAVIOURS AMONG PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS
ABSTRACT
This study
examined family factors as determinants of deviant behaviours among primary
school pupils in Awgu Education Zone of Enugu State. To guide the study, seven
research questions were posed and five hypotheses formulated. The study adopted
correlational research design. The population of the study comprised of all the
public primary six pupils in Awgu Education Zone of Enugu State. The population
of the study was four thousand six hundred and four 4,604 primary six pupils in
the education zone out of which 821 pupils were drawn as sample for the study.
A questionnaire was used as instrument for the study. Mean and standard
deviation were used to answer research questions one, six and seven, while
Pearson product moment correlation coefficient was used to answer research
questions two, three, four and five. Regression analysis was used to test
hypotheses one, two, three and four, while ANOVA was used to text hypotheses
five. The major findings of the study revealed that primary school pupils
exhibited 12 out of 15 types of deviant behaviours such as indulging in exam
malpractice, not devoted to studies, Bullying weaker pupils, fighting among
pupils, lateness to school, and keeping bad friends among others as identified.
It also showed that authoritarian family leadership style had a significant
relationship on primary school pupil’s deviant behaviour. Again it was
discovered that authoritative family leadership style also called assertive,
democratic or balance family leadership style had significant relationship on
pupil’s deviant behaviour negatively. Moreover permissive family leadership
style had also shown a significant relationship on primary school pupils’
deviant behaviour. The result also indicated that neglectful family leadership
style had significant relationship on primary school pupils’ deviant behaviour.
Furthermore, the result showed that family size had a significant influence on
deviant behaviour exhibited by primary school pupils in Awgu Education Zone of
Enugu state. It was also discovered that all the thirteen (13) strategies such
as organizing orientation or public enlightenment programmes through
parents-Teachers-Association meeting to educate parents on good parental child
rearing practices, assigning functions to children that exhibit deviant
behaviours to keep them focus on worthwhile activities, Rewarding and praising
children who have good behaviour, and assigning models to role play by pupils
with deviant behaviours as identified by the researcher can be used to curb
deviant behaviours among primary school pupils. These results were discussed in
relation to previous findings of similar studies and the educational
implications of the findings were highlighted. Also recommendations were made
based on family factors as determinants of deviant behaviours among pupils and
the limitations of the study and suggestions for further studies were also
pointed out.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background
of the Study
Family has
been universally perceived as a small but powerful unit and the oldest
institution in the history of human existence that helps in the character
formation of the child and moulding of behaviour of the individual in the
society. This is because family is the fundamental and basic social unit for
human development and also the primary agent for socialization of children.
According to Macionis (2007) family is a social institution found in all
societies that unites people in cooperative groups to care for one another
including children. Family is a social unit made up of father, mother, children
and blood relations (Okonkwo, 2005). Similarly, Ononuju (2005) opined that
family is a unit of people tied together by bonds of marriage, birth or
adoption, having in most cases a common abode. The authour also maintained that
man and woman as the first members of the family have obligations towards the
younger members as they arrive and that involves inculcating social norms such
as love, care, cooperation and discipline among her members. Buttressing
further, the author posited that when families fail in these basic functions, a
faulty foundation is laid which will result in faulty adult behaviours such as
corruption and all kinds of indiscipline. In the context of this study, Family
can also be seen as a kinship group of two or more persons who live in the same
household and are related by marriage or adoption. Family also performs certain
functions for their sustainability and wellbeing.
