ABSTRACT
The study
examined the influence of parental value system on students’ success
orientation at the secondary level in selected public secondary schools in Mainland Local
Government Area of Lagos State. Also, this study reviewed some relevant and
related literatures under sub-headings.
The
descriptive research survey was applied in this study for the assessment of the
opinions of the selected respondents for this study, with the use of the
questionnaire and the sampling technique.
A total of
120 (one hundred and twenty) respondents were sampled for this study. Four null
hypotheses were formulated and tested, with the application of the t-test and
Pearson Product Moment Correlation tools at 0.05 level of significance.
1. There is a significant influence of
parental value system on students’ academic performance in school.
2. There is a significant influence of
negative parental value system on students’ social adjustment in the society.
3. There is a significant relationship
between positive parental value system and adolescents’ success orientation in
school.
4. There is a significant gender difference
in students’ success orientation due to parental value system.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1Background
of the Study
The child’s
parents are the greatest influence on his/her development in two indisputable
ways. Firstly, parents provide the child with his/her biological heritage.
Secondly, they organize his/her life. Parents within this family structure, act
as socializing agent in providing goals and value system from which the child
develops various patterns of behaviours.
In some
situations, parents adopt care free attitude towards the learning of their
children, even their social orientation, and this has in many instances, caused
the low academic performance of children even their maladaptive behaviours in
their immediate society (Hake, 1999).
According to
Ndubuisi (2005) there is a positive correlation between parental attitude and
children’s social orientation and academic achievement. Ndubuisi is of the
opinion that parents’ dimensions of value placement on their children’s
well-being or otherwise significantly affects the child’s positive or negative
adaptation to his/her society.
As Adeleke
(2000) puts it, parents who place positive value on their children, care for
them very well by providing them with necessary amenities at home which help to
facilitate their educational careers, and by providing medical care and
nurturing them morally. The resultant effect is the moulding of good behaved
children who are well adjusted to their immediate environment.
Uzomah
(2006) postulates that if parents exhibit positive values in terms of providing
for their children’s education, such children who are well catered for, will no
doubt, be high academic achievers, while those whose parents place negative
values on their education will grow up to be low achievers in their educational
career. This will equally show in their poor social adjustment to their larger
communities.
1.2Statement
of the Problem
Parents’
attitudes play important role in the social and academic lives of their
children. For instance, parents who place negative values on the academic
career of children will not provide them with the necessary books, school
uniforms and pocket money for feeding. They will not also give the children
good and nutritious diets that would cause them to grow rapidly and to be more
intelligent. The result of this is poor academic performance by the children.
In terms of their social orientations, children would not behave well in their
society, if their parents display negative values in the method of bringing
them up in the right dimension. This study is embarked upon as a result of the
concern for the influence of parental value system on success orientation among
adolescents in the society.
1.3Purpose

purpose of this study is to examined the influence of parental value system on

3. To what extent will the positive
value system of parents affect their children’s social adjustment?
4. Is there any relationship between
parental care and children’s behaviour?
5. To what extent will there be gender
difference in success orientation due to parental value system?
1.5Research

1.8Definition
of Terms
Operational
definitions of terms were appropriately provided in this study, thus:
(1) Parental Value System: This study sees
parental value system as a situation or level at which parents attach
importance to or place certain values on their children’s education or success
in life. Most parents do not care for their children or wards, therefore, they
are assumed to place negative values on their children’s success, whereas, many
other parents take proper care of their children, and these parents are
regarded as those who have positive parental value system on their children and
wards.
(2) Adolescents’ Academic Performance:
This refers to the level or rate at which youths or adolescents in school
perform in their academic career in school. It also shows the level at which
students carry out their school works at a given period of time and the result
of it.
(3) Parental Discipline: This means the
level of discipline, parents give to their children or wards at home in order
to bring them up in a positive way. Parental discipline allows children to grow
up embracing the proper norms and values in their immediate society or
communities.
(4) Socio-Economic Status: This refers to
the level of social stratification of individuals in a given society. It is the
socio-economic distinction amongst members of the society.
(5) High Academic Achievers: This means
those who record high academic performance in the school during their courses
of study.
(6) Low Academic Achievers: This refers to
those students who record low academic performance during their courses of
study in the school.
(7) Maladaptive Behaviour: This means the
behaviour of an individual that is not welcomed by the larger society.
Maladaptive behaviours are those characters that are anti-social in nature.
