teachers. There are primary schools in Ibadan South Local Government Area of Oyo State, but in

pupils or students to schools, peer group. Influence, broken homes, lack of
parental care, low standard of education in the

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Indiscipline
is a behavioural disorder that is classified as an act of delinquency. Just
like, lying, stealing and playing truant or running away from home. It is often
the cause of a lot of mental, emotional and also physical damage. Such as
damage to property in homes as well as in schools. A child that is not
disciplined can never be controlled and can do just about any damage when he or
she does not get whatever he or she wants.
Pupils are
priceless assets and most essential elements in education. It is absolutely
necessary to direct pupils to exhibit acceptable attitude and behaviour within
and outside the school. In an attempt to achieve an organized and peaceful
school environment and maintain law and order, school management must have
specifics rules and regulation to guide the activities of members of the
educational organization. In actual sense, acts of indiscipline seem to have
become a normal phenomenon in our everyday lives. For some example, the act of
indiscipline is a sign of modernity, fashion and mascunity. Indiscipline in our
world today does not reflect only in our way of dressing but also, our attitude
towards life and our general ways of doing things.
Pupils’ discipline
is a pre-requisite to almost everything a school has to offer pupils, Seifert
and Vornberg (2002). Siefert and Vornberg further link, discipline to both the
culture and climate of the school and they argued that “In order for a
satisfactory climate to exist within a school a certain level of discipline
must exist”. In schools where indiscipline is a serious problem, for example,
where pupils bully others, parents can transfer their children to ‘better’
schools, and because the well behaved
usually perform well (Rigby, 2000) their transfer can affect the over all
performance of that school.
Pupils
indiscipline seems to be ubiquitous in the 21st century in Nigerian Primary
Schools. Child’s discipline is a part of socialization; with recent increase in
school enrolment, pupils discipline problems are bound to accentuate and cause
more burdens on teachers and school administrators and this had led to failure
in primary schools. Inability of pupils to distinguish between acceptable and
unacceptable behaviours makes pupils have problems and integrating within more
disciplined environment resulting in resentment and further acceleration of the
problem. Ultimately, it may become impossible to achieve adequate education,
leading to difficulties in finding or maintaining a work placement or even
fitting into society.
The issue of
indiscipline has been a major concern to parents and those in the school
community who suggest that disciplinary strategies be applied by teachers and
that rapport must be created between pupils and teachers as a systematic way to
solving the problems. Troubled pupils can sometimes make teachers react
emotionally to the extent of using punishment. But punishment, instead of
curbing behaviour, can aggravate it (Dreikurs et al 1998). In the work of
McManus (1995): Punishment does not discourage misbehaviour but rather
reinforces the pupils view of adults as treacherous.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The rate of
failure in primary schools in Ibadan South Local Government Area of Oyo State
is alarming. This manifestation arises as a result of all forms of negative
behaviour that fill the atmosphere of the community. Standard of discipline has
gradually gone down and the society or community can be partially blamed for this
decline, while the citizens care to be blamed for not fighting against it.
Moral and spiritual values have been
shunned by the society all in the name of modernity and technology and as such
our societies seem to have lost track of the essence of a disciplined life. As
regard this, the research work seeks to find the effects of indiscipline in
some primary schools in Ibadan South Local Government Area of Oyo State.
1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study
is significant, in a number of ways, firstly, the study is invaluable and would
serve as eye opener for parents, who have the primary responsibilities of
turning their children and wards into useful citizen of the society. Also, the
study would spell out the causes and effects of indiscipline to guardians,
teachers and the general public who hold
the responsibility of moulding the characters of children that will eventually
take the society to a greater height.
Cooperate
bodies like Non-Governmental Organizations, welfare homes and lost other will
also benefit from the findings of this research work since it will serve as a
reference material which can be easily referred to as at when needed.

of this study is to establish the effects of indiscipline in Ibadan Local
Government Area of Oyo State.
