CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

According to Dewey, he sees education as help in the formation of fundamental attitude of imagination, desires and thinking, which is strictly correlated with culture in its inclusiveness. In other words, education can be seen as an instrument of transformation in the society which every nation has a strong believe in the effectiveness of education as a powerful instrument for national development. Therefore, education entails teaching and learning for teaching and learning to take place there must be teachers and the learners to be taught. So, the effective teaching can be done by a trained person called the teacher.

In our society today, teaching is been handled properly by trained people (teachers) who are educationally and morally trained these people called teachers perform their job effectively, they make sure that they come to school before the students or pupils arrives the teacher also establishes the role of hosting the students/pupils into the classroom, get them sited and starting the days work. During teaching, the teacher try as much as possible to interest the pupils in the subject he/she teaches and this undoubtedly increase the desire or motivation on the part of the students to struggle harder. Planning the teaching also helps the teacher to organize himself properly, explanation of topic; simplify things for easier understanding by pupils.

The manner in which a teacher addresses a class reflects an attitude and conveys a message not only through what is said but also through how it is said. Before speaking to the class he makes sure that attention is gained by getting pupils stop playing and listen carefully. The teacher develops good personal relationship with his/her pupils be fostering mutual trust and respect. The teacher does this effectively by been aware of each child as an individual and be sensitive to the mood of the class as a whole. The awareness of individual differences begins with the essential task of learning names and putting them accurately to faces.

Having knowledge of different method of teaching and knowing which one to use and when he is able to teach his students effectively. The teacher make it his duty to create a classroom, environment that foster the educational development of his pupils and make the environment reflect his personality and concern and appreciation he holds for his pupils/students venture. This is done by making the classroom clean and neat. With those aforementioned reasons the researcher was prompt to ask why is it that these personnel called teachers are so skilful in carrying out their jobs, were they born to be teachers? It was later discovered by the researcher that for a person to become a teacher he has to be trained to acquire these skills during the training they have to go for three months teaching practice where skill are acquired. Therefore the researcher is carrying out this study to discover the role of teaching practice on the students preparation for teacher education.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0     INTRODUCTION

1.1     BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The issue of gender inequality is one which has been publicly reverberally through society for decades. The problem of inequality in employment being one of the most pressing issues today, in order to examine this situation, one must try to get to the root of the problem and must understand the sociological factors that cause women to have a much more difficult time getting the same benefit, wages and job opportunities as their male counterpart. The society in which we live has been shaped historically makes the policy makers have consistently been male and it is important to examine all facts of the problem, but in order to fully tackle the issue on most recognize that this inequality in the work force is rooted in what shape future employees and employers – education. The research work will examine the inequalities in policy, actual teaching situations, admission to post-secondary institution, hiring and job benefits and wages, the situation will also tackle was is being done to solve this problem and what can be done to remedy the situation.

Monrovia Street is an area situated in Ungwan Rimi Gabasawa ward under Kaduna North Local Government with a total of least populated area in Gabasawa ward which is more or less like a GRA consist of civil servants, students and businessmen and women etc. the population has made up different tribe such as Hausa, Yoruba, Gwari, Igbo, Nupe, Katab, etc.

Those living in Monrovia are predominantly civil servants that is 80% of people are said to have gainfully employed either by government or private sectors. And of 20% of them are engaged in commercial activities ranging from trading, tailoring, hair dressing, etc out of which 15% where engaged by men only 5% is engaged by women base on the research.

I found that women were left behind in time of gainful employment as well as commercial activities in the area. In view of above a lot is expected to be done to bridge the gap between the two genders.

1.2     STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Men and Women are both equal and both play vital roles in the creation and development of their families in particular and the society in general indeed; the struggle for legal equality has been one of the major concerns of women movement all over the world. Therefore, the sense of insecurity, humiliation and helplessness always keep a woman mum our whole socialization in such that for any unsuccessful marriage which results the who is held responsible. Cultural beliefs and traditions that discriminate against women may be officially discredited but they continued to flourish at the grassroots level, this has been main of this research work.

1.3     OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

1. To find out factors responsible for low employment opportunities of women.
2. To find out the effort of Government towards reducing gender inequality.
3. To examine the implication of gender inequality in the society.

1.4     SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

A research of this nature has to do with gender issues must be of great significance. Gender inequality in terms of employment opportunities, home management and other issues are very critical. Therefore, this research will be of significance in the following areas:

1. The project work is one of the basic requirements for the award of National Diploma in Social Development.
2. It is expected to provide solutions to the problem of gender inequality generally and specifically in employment opportunities.
3. Considering the roles played by human in home and nation building, if genders imbalances are corrected using the recommendation of this research, the nation would be greater, this is another significance.
4. Researchers may find this work as a foundation for further research.
5. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) may find the research work and its recommendation very useful.

1.5     RESEARCH QUESTIONS

1. What are the factors responsible for low employment opportunities of women?
2. What are the efforts of government towards reducing gender inequality?
3. What are the implications of gender inequality in the society?

1.6     SCOPE OF THE STUDY

In carrying out the research work, the researcher chose Monrovia Street as area of study and focused on gender inequality on women employment opportunities restricted the finding in the above area.

And most of whom he asked question were women because they are most hit by poverty and vitracy and dominated in terms of wages, salaries and other commercial activities.

In view of the above, the researcher promoted to focus more attention on women in order to find out why the inequality exist and look for a way to find solution and unless something various is done by the government to control the problem.

CHAPTER TWO

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.0     INTRODUCTION

Gender is a set of characteristics that are seen to distinguish between male and female.

Depending on the context, the discriminating characteristics vary from sex to social role to gender identity (Microsoft Encarta 2009). In 1955, sexologist John Money introduced the terminology distinction between biological sex and gender as a role, before his work, it was uncommon to use gender to refer to anything but grammatical categories. However, Money’s meaning of the word did not become widespread until the 1970s when feminist theory embraced the distinction between biological sex and social construct of gender. Today, the distinction is strictly followed in some context, like feminist literature and in documents such as the World Health Organization (WHO), but in most contexts, even in social Science the meaning of gender  has expended to include sex or even to replace the word.

Although this bastardization of the meaning of gender occurred gradually since the 1980s, a small acceleration of the process in the scientific literature was observed when Food and Drug Administration started to use gender instead of sex in 1993. Gender is now commonly used even to refer to the physiology of non-human animals, without any implication of social gender roles.

In the English literature, trichotomy between biological sex, psychological gender, and social sex role first appeared in the feminist paper on transexualism in 1978. Some cultures have specific gender – related social roles that can be considered distinct from gender related social roles that can be considered distinct from male and female, such as the hijra of India and Pakistan.

While the Social Science sometimes approach gender as a social construct, and gender studies particularly do the natural sciences, regard biological and behavioural differences in male an females as influencing the development of gender in human, both inform date about how far biological differences influence gender identity formation.

According to Jacob (1995) “gender is constructed both society through interaction as well as biologically through chromosomes, brain structure and hormonal differences”.

“Gender systems are often dichotomous and literachica;’ binary gender system may reflect into the inequalities that manifest in numerous dimensions of daily life. Gender inequality stems from distinctions, whether empirically grounded or socially constructed” (Jerry, 2000).

2.1     THE CONCEPT OF GENDER INEQUALITY

According to Prof. S. Mahdi (1990 “Gender Inequalities refers to the obvious or hidden disparities among individuals based on the performance of gender”. This problem in simple term is known as Gender Bias which in simple terms meaning the gender stratification or making difference between a girl and a boy. In Nigeria (in the older time) this problem is mainly seen in the rural area because many rural people think that the girl child is burden on them. But now this is also being seen in the urban areas. That is, in offices, institutions, schools and societies. The afflicted world in which we live is characterized by deeply unequal sharing of this burden of adversities between women and men.

However, inequality between men and women can take very many different forms. Indeed, gender inequality is not one homogenous phenomenon, but a collection of disparate and interleaved problems. The issue of gender inequality is one which has been publicly reverberating through societies for decades. The problem of inequality in employment being of the most pressing issues today. In order to examine this situation, one must try to get to the root of the problem and must understand the sociological factors that cause women to have a much difficult time getting the same benefits, wages and job opportunities as their male counterpart. The society in which we live has been shaped historically be males.

However, in many part of the world women receive less attention and health care than men do and particularly girls often receive every much less than boys. As a result of this gender bias the mortality rates of females often exceed those of males in these countries. The concept of missing women was devised to give some idea of the enormity of the phenomenon of women’s adversity in mortality focusing on the women who care simply not there, due to unusually high mortality compared with male mortality rates.  In some regions in the world, inequality between women and men directly involves matters of life and death and takes the brutal form of unusually high morality rate of women and a consequent preponderance of women found in societies with little or no gender bias in health care and nutrition (Dr. Justice A.S. Anand, 2009).

2.2     TYPES OF GENDER INEQUALITIES

THE CAUSES AND EFFECT OF INDISCIPLINE AMONG STUDENT IN PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOL

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the causes and effects of indiscipline among secondary school students in Esan central Local Government Area of Edo State. The incessant occurrence of chaotic and some time criminal behaviour not only by the audit population but also the students of this country in recent times has since begun to give cause for concern, particularly to parents, government and school administrators. Questionnaires from a sample of five secondary schools students consisting of hundred (100) senior secondary school students selected at random from Esan Central were analyzed. Among other things, it was found that the societal customs and way of life can in one way or other influence the positive or negative behaviour of the child, that parental absence and poor moral upbringing of the child can plague the secondary school students of acts of indiscipline and that children from a high socio-economic background can be engaged in acts of indiscipline as well as children from the low or middle socio-economic background

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Indiscipline may be said to be as old as the time when men started to organize himself into society and consequently made laws to order the affairs of men in a social set up. In the Holy Scripture Cain exhibited some form of indiscipline when he out of envy murdered his brother Abel in their abode. We have heard of people engaging in indiscipline behaviour on daily basis. Many of our students today especially those in our secondary school exhibit various forms of indiscipline in form of juvenile delinquency. This could be in the form of arson, murder and robbery etc. these acts involve both adult and youths, the rate of indiscipline tends to be on the increase in the modern world. Africa is not an exception of this general increase in the young stars, negative attitude to constituted authority. This rate of indiscipline tends to be on an increase despite the various measure taken by successive government most especially Nigeria, to curb the menace among our students so as to bring about a socially stable society.

We read our newspapers and hear from the electronic media of students in the country committing all forms of crimes raging from the violation of parental regulations to truancy, stealing, assault, robbery and other socially undesirable behaviours. Available information shows that our students are most frequently implicated in the acts of indiscipline that in every five caught for a criminal offence; there are usually young stars. These offence ranges from drugs and robbery. During the military rule, several measures were put in place to curb the trends, on its assumption to power on the 31st December 1983, the government of general Mohammuadu Buhari (Rtd) made it known that one of the causes of our problems in our country (Nigeria) was indiscipline and as such, the war against indiscipline (WAI) was introduced into all aspects of the life of the nation.

Also our past head of states, General Sani Abacha (Lt) on assumption I office (1993) launched the war against indiscipline and corruption (WAIC), Presdient Olusegun Obasanjo also launched independent corrpt practices commission (ICPC) and economic financial crime commission (EFCC). This was aimed at checking the various corrupt practices in our society. Despite all these commendable effort of our youth are still very much indiscipline. The Nigeria youth is yet to embrace the principles behind the war against indiscipline and corruption programme even when he is supposed to have great roles to play in the success of the programme.

There is often the saying that our youths are the leaders of tomorrow, but from what happens on a daily basis, one is forced to wonder if actually the youths are the future leader of tomorrow, if they could actually be entrusted with the leadership roles of the futures, people from various works of life have expressed concern. Olusegun Obasanjo formal president and head of state of the Federal Republic of Nigeria lamented over the rate of indiscipline in the Nigeria society. He pointed accusing fingers to most youths and adults noting that they suffering from what he called social, moral, political and economic indiscipline. Also formal head of state general Ibrahim Babaginda confirmed the obvious fact that the rate of indiscipline and crime among youths was growing fast. He said.

“moral decadence is threatening the nation as evidenced by the get rich quick syndrome that pervaded all facts of the society. Crimes of violence in which our young stars are involved in indication of the malaise which affects most of our communities”. (daily Times 26th December, 1985. pp 1).

The problems of indiscipline among students is fast becoming a canker worm that is eaten deeper and deeper in to the fabric of our society and thereby constituting a greater threaten to the stability of the nation. Indiscipline of various types has eaten deep into the fabric of the social system, it is a problem that is increasing at a fast rate and needs prompt attention. We have come to notice that hardly any family exists without a child possessing one trait of indiscipline or the other. It is either the child steals, is rude, not well mannered, runs away from classes, and or at time if the child is a female, it may be that she posses indulgent illiant sexual acts which may create great concerns for the parents. It is also possible that the child is one way or the other drug addict. In whatever way it is viewed whether the child exhibits any of these features or many others, which are socially undesirable, such a child is certainly a problem to the family and the society at large.

It is also sad, to note that student’s indiscipline has had a lot of negative effects on the school system and learning, many academic calendar are being disrupted as a result of this indiscipline many students now form themselves into gangs, they threaten the life of fellow students and even teachers. It is as a result of this indiscipline that we now have secreted societies or secrete cults even in our primary and secondary schools. is is necessary for the nation to pay attention to the frequent indiscpline among our students, if she is to achieve fame and progress in all field of human endeavour,. This is because the fate of any nation depends on the youths she breeds, as they are the leaders of tomorrow.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM  

The problem of student’s indiscipline is to be well attended to by parents, teachers/school administrators and all these involved in the upbringing of the students in the cou8ntry, if lasting solutions are to be found in it. To this end, we all stand to gain in no small measure of students refrain from indiscipline behaviours and become discipline.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY   

This research is aimed at investigating the causes and effects of student’s indiscipline in our school system. This is due to the ever-increasing rate of indiscipline in these schools nationwide. Some variables of this study include societal influence, parental influence/upbringing and socio-economic attainment of parents. There are many factors usually responsible for indiscipline of students in the society. This work therefore, aimed at determine the factors responsible for indiscipline in our secondary schools. it will try to make suggestions to the possible solutions which may help to being an end to the problem of indiscipline in our secondary schools.

HYPOTHESIS

To guide this study, the following hypotheses are necessary:

1.            Does the parental influence and upbringing of the child contribute to the indiscipline of t he child?

2.            Does the society at large encourage indiscipline among students through its customs ways of life?

3.            Has the socio-economic attainment of a child’s parent got anything to do with indiscipline of the child?

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY  

It is expected that the result of this study would be useful to parents and the society. School administrators, teachers, government and policy makers in their effort to put an end to the problem of students indiscipline specifically the out-come of this work would assist parents and society in monitoring the activities of their children through the results of this study, school heads, will discover what negative role they play and which in turn affect events that can lead to indiscipline in school. They will then adjust their administrative loopholes and forge ahead for a well-disciplined schools system. Teachers are expected to know from this study how students indiscipline is being carried out around them and employ means of eradicating the trend.

The study would also be useful to the government and policy makers in formulating policies that will ensure a disciplined and patriotic behaviour on the part of the students. The overall aim of this study is the complete wiping out of indiscipline among out students so that teaching learning atmosphere will be conducive and free dangers. In such an environment, there will be better enhancement of knowledge.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY   

The research work is limited in scope to secondary schools in Esan central local government area of Edo State. Due to the large size of the local government areas and problems that may be encountered in the process of covering the local government, the numbers of schools were reduced to five to enhance adequate coverage. These schools were selected randomly fro the local government.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

English language occupies a prominent place in the Nigerian school curriculum. The English language is one of the legacies to bequeathed Nigerians by the British which will be difficult to do away with. This is because it is the major medium of instruction in our schools, of business transactions, of communication both nationally and internationally.  It is equally the language of industry since science and technology are sine qua non for development.  It is the language of mass communication and propaganda  in mass media.Â

In literature and Arts, it is the language of novels, poems, short stories, music and drama. In social occasions, English language is used for conversation and interpersonal relationship.  It is also the key to educational advancement.  The life-wire of all activities in all works of life and key for better job opportunities.It is our official language and therefore imperative that every Nigerian should be able to read, write and communicate in good simple English. This is important if Nigeria should overcome its health, economic, political and social problems.

For instance, health for all in the year 2020 will be unrealized if citizens cannot read simple prescriptions in English; transfer of technology will also be unrealized if many Nigerians cannot read and understand relevant books which are written in English.The language is gradually losing its standard.  This is because the multiplicity of languages in Nigeria has some influence on the English spoken by Nigerians.  One is again baffled to notice that secondary school students perform badly in West African School Certificate in English language Examination.

In view of this, teaching and the use of English language should be given prominent attention in secondary schools as the majority of Nigerian parents are illiterates and cannot provide a conducive home environment for language acquisition nor afford good schools for their children education Azikiwe (1985).The environment will always affect the language used.The need for mastery of English at the child early stages in life is far reaching because it makes for effective communication, better understanding and academic performance as the child moves from one level of education to another.

A child with a solid knowledge of English language at the primary school will encounter less problems in reading and understanding books and materials on science and technology which are to a large extent positively correlated with social and economic development. There is need therefore for much more concern about effective teaching and learning of English language in our secondary schools and about products of our secondary schools not being able to meaningfully express themselves in English.From the foregoing, the English language is very important now that the country is geared towards technological, social, economic and political development.

A solid foundation in English should be laid for the children, right from the start as the much-talked about transfer of technology will be meaningless if the majority of Nigerians are poor at English as most materials on science and technology are written in English.  Lack of understanding of these materials and poor communication with experts will definitely hamper our move for national development in all spheres of life. Moreover, for success in the campaign on rural development currently going on which advocates literacy and awareness for rural dwellers, English should be given a premier position in education of the rural dwellers for them to be able to contribute effectively to the improvement and development of their families, communities and the entire nation.Teachers of English have a role to play to lay a solid foundation for the teaching of English as a subject.

The researcher therefore sought to find out from teachers of English in secondary schools as well as senior secondary students, the influence of environment on performance of students in English.However, the English language is not an indigenous language to this country.  Time was, when no word of English was spoken in Nigeria. It was about the middle of the 18th century when the English language started making  appearance in the linguistic map of the country.  The language came from Britons.  Before the English language, other European languages exited, such as the Portuguese language.  As far back as the 16th century, they came around the Niger Delta and Lagos. Trade was an important factor to the coming of the English language in Nigeria.  The pattern of trade was cocoa in exchange for gun-powder, clothing materials with the system of trade known as trade by barter.The trade took another dimension of slave trade which is known as the trans-Atlantic and trans-Saharan trades called the triangular slave trade (1879). The slaves carried to America learn English there.  Apart from the slave trade and explorers, the first deliberate effort to implant the English language was through the missionaries. We first had the Church Missionary Society also known as (C.M.S) which settled in Badagry.

After them were the Presbyterians, the Methodists and the Baptists, before the Catholic came.  They came to evangelize to preach and educate people about the evils of slave trade.  The factors that contributed to the spread of the learning of English was that these missionaries needed people who would be educated in English to help in reading the Bible (lay readers) and in its translation into native language.  Consequently, schools were established to train lay readers Catechist etc.  There were clergymen like Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther who aided  the spread of the language
