CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.0 Background to the Study
Cases of violence and behavioural problems in primary schools in Nigeria have attracted much concern from the government, institutional functionaries and academic fellows in recent years. Despite the implementations of the many suggested solutions given by researchers, these problems are still on the increase in our primary schools.
This study is an attempt to find out some of these behavioural problems and their causes. It has been suggested by parents and educational administrators that the school today is a less disciplined community than the olden days. The impression which has been created is that the teachers today commit more offences than their counterparts did in past years.
The number, variety and magnitude of school offenses frequently reported in the country news media are such that are very serious enough to cause some concern for people who are involved in the school administration. The question is that the present deterioration in the standard of behaviour of teachers if not checked will lead the society and the future generation to disaster.
In the words of Professor Aminu Jubril (1988), behaviour can be described as any action resulting from the expression of a particular trait. Behaviour can describe any action and it most often used in the context of altering the propensity for an action e.g. an aggressive trait can lead to aggressive behaviour.
Also behaviour could simply refer to the actions or reactions of object or organism, usually in relations of the environment. Behaviour can be conscious or unconscious, overt or covert and voluntary or involuntary. During the launching of the War Against Indiscipline behaviour at Cocoa Board Ibadan, (1984) Chief J.A. Akinsipe the Company’s General Manager listed the following as acts of indiscipline behaviour: lateness, use of official hours for private business, malingering delay in taking actions, taking actions out of malice, wasting the smallest material in the office, dereliction of duty, pleading sectional prejudice in order to avoid disciplinary action, covering staff who indulge in acts of indiscipline because of family, social other connections (Daily Sketch Tuesday October 16th 1984).
Obadanjo (1987) while presenting an introductory paper on principals’ conference workshop on school behaviour referred to examination leakage, frauds and unscrupulousness on the part of teachers as acts of indiscipline. In addition to the General’s list, the headmaster listed the following offences among the common ones committed by teachers which include leaving the school compound without permission, unpunctuality, and insubordination strikes e.t.c.
Since then there had been series of workshops and conferences and government actions to fight against this cankerworm eating deep into the nation. In 1988, the out stated Second Republic Government recognized the gravity of behavioural problems in schools among teachers throughout the whole country that a whole ministry was made to take change of the responsibility of solving these great problems of the nation.
Also, the Daily Sketch of November 19th, 1985 published the comment of the Minister of Education Professor Aminu Jubril about behaviour in our school’s system. He said among other things that there was an urgent need to ensure that teachers are groom to be disciplined citizen. In most Nigeria Educational institutions particularly primary schools where teachers are adult, behavioural problems are so rampant; the educations have been promoted to seek ways of controlling them or eliminating them entirely. Educators should not, therefore wait for such a time when these problems will multiply but act before behavioural problems get out of hands.
In order to correct the situation in our schools, our educational system must be well designed so as to instill in our teachers the need to be behavioural conscious, to restrain from evil things to have respect for schools authorities. Any society, which is not disciplined, cannot progress, so also a school that lacks discipline is bound to fail. This is because discipline helps to create orderliness which in turn gives room for effective teaching and learning.
1.1 Statement of the Problem
There have been cases of unrest in primary institution in Nigeria especially after the independence. The trend continues to escalate annually. This study is to investigate the cases of behavioural problems in some selected schools in Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State.
Infact school administrators have tried to eradicate these problems but with little or no success. And the objective of education cannot be achieved in an indiscipline atmosphere. It is pertinent that behaviour is essentially ensured for effective learning.
This study therefore aimed at investigating the causes of behavioural problems and ways of managing the behaviour.

- It is equally important to mention that the identification of such problems in primary school and the suggestions for their possible eradication may assist the schools to give urgent and quick solutions to such problems when they occur.
- Provide adequate solutions to such problems, if and when they exist will enhance effective teaching and learning in school which will make the teachers useful for themselves and the society at large.

The significance of this study is that it will give an insight into the factors that may be responsible for behavioural problems among teachers in primary schools. The importance of this study also lies in the fact that it will throw more light on this “ancient problem” that have been disturbing and eaten up the very root of our society.
In the past many people through that behavioural problems were limited to just the students, principals and the Ministry of Education alone. Thus research however recognizes the fact that teachers also play some vital roles in either controlling or breeding behavioural problems in schools. This study will help in reducing cases of behavioural problem in primary schools.
