THE EFFECT
OF PARENTAL INFLUENCE ON THE CHOICE OF CAREERS AND ROLES PLAYED IN ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE OF STUDENT
ABSTRACT
The study
was carried out to identify the effects of parental influence has on the
child’s learning and his future life, endeavour of student in Egor Local Government Area of Edo State. A student
population of 50 student drawn from five Secondary School in Egor Local
Government Area randomly selected was used for the study to each student
questionnaire was administered and answer offered were collated and analysed.
The result obtained from the study show that, illiterate parents have little or
no time to their children’s education children from educated home background
show more interest in education lack of motivation and parents forcing them to
do their will. It was also found out that only few students are interested in
their parent’s occupation. Discoveries from the study reveals that illiterate
parents have no interest in their children academic growth, parents are not a
factor influencing the choice of career among their children. Furthermore,
there is no significant different between children from educated home towards
Education of given the necessary motivation.
This is due to the fact that a consideration number of children live
without parental support, as in orphans, children living in the streets, displaced
and refused children who on account of the poverty of their parents are
subjected to inhuman and sadistic ordeals.
This reduces their desire to learn as it happens frequently in Egor
Local Government Area of Edo State.
CHAPTER ONE
BACKGROUND
OF STUDY
Career play
a very fundamental and significant role in the life of the individual not only
because they determine the pattern of income but also because they affect the
individual personality and concepts in life, career therefore is a choose
pursuit, life work or success in one’s profession occupied by a person
throughout his/her lifetime. In a
nutshell, career is the totality of work one does in his life time and is
person centred it is of utmost importance to every individual as he or she
prepares for the future.
Career
choice is something very hard to decide, especially as his life will depend on
it. Her (2003) indicated that, career is the totality of experience through
which one learns about and prepares to engage in work as part of his way of living
‘ Splete (12001) Stress career is an enjoying process that occurs over the life
span and includes homes, schools and community. Every human being needs to do
one job or the other to help contribute his quote to the development of the
country.
Ipaye (2000)
refers to the need for one to discuss with one’s peer school counsellors,
parents and teachers on the need to choose a life span work as “career
convention” or “career conference”. However, career convention according to him
is an instrument of career information. This occurs for a number of reasons,
which includes:
To stimulate
career thinking and widen occupational horizon.
To focus
attention on particular jobs in order to help an individual crystallizes his
preference.
To create a
situation in which parents can on one hand meet employers and discuss the
opportunities they offer and on the other hand meet the career teachers or
career officers with whom they can exchange views.
Work
experience during industrial training or those experiences acquired during
vocational education also aids the students in choice of career. This is a
techniques in which students do job under realistic conditions without payment
this may help them choose a career to that effect.
James (2004)
Observes that the influence home has on the child’s learning is the fundamental
concepts of life. This cause and most
of the habits and basic adjustment were established during pre-school years.
The highlights the fact that home and parents occupy the most important position
in the child’s education. It should be stressed that work experience is not an
attempt to find job for the students but an attempt to widen the horizons of
students and ease the ultimate transition from school to work. This is usually
based on the information given to the school by the parents, such guidance and
information are necessary because most school children are adolescents and are
controlled by double standards, hypocrisy, truancy, materialism, dishonesty
etc. .
The factor
that may influence choice of career includes.
Socio-economic
factors
Personal or
family factors
Cultural
factors, which include schools, peer group, age and work experience. The effect
of parental influence on choice of career is both negative and positive this is
due to: security factors
No usual
hazards to health
Assured
steady income
Certainty of
continued employment
Career or
occupational satisfaction
Prestige
Social
rewards.
To increase
students interest and ability to use his hands and brains, the parents, must be
involved to give desired assistance/guidance to the students.
STATEMENT OF
PROBLEM
This
research is based on the effect of parental influences on the choice of career
among secondary school students in Egor Local Government Area of Edo State. The
parents may desire what they think is good or best for their ward.
This may
affect the child positively if the child can cope with it but negatively when
such a child has other things in mind, which he/she wishes to do. The result of
this is that the child may not concentrate on the parents needs and so may not
adjust positively towards the career. This sometimes leads to students
waywardness, secrete cult involvement, armed robbery and so on. The child may
not cope with the parents continual force against his/her will.
The world is
marking such drastic demand upon the coming workers every truthful man and
woman every teaches and reflecting parents is planning way to fit the students
for the life and needs of this new century. This statement which is still
relevant today was written by Mejer Bloomfield in his book ‘finding ones place
in life in (2007) since the early 2000 career development or vocational
guidance at it was then known has increasingly gained more and more attention
and respect in essence career counselling is a specialty within the profession
of counselling one that fosters vocationally development and work adjustment of
individual abilities interest and goals with the work roles structured by the
community and occupation organised by companies and assist a developing and
deciding individual to make suitable and viable choice why examine the factors
affecting career choice on senior secondary school students, in the past and
even now for many. It was assumed that on individual going through late
adolescent would be developing their independence and slowly eliminating his or
her family’s constraints as he or she formed his or her own identity into the
larger word in effect the person would make career decision based on his or her
own interest research and occupational goals with limited influence from
others. Infact even when young adult move away from home, their family will
likely still have a strong influence upon them on two significant life events
marriage and their career.
