# THE IMPACT OF CONFLICT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF
STUDENTS IN WAEC EXAMINATION IN CIVIC EDUCATION
CHAPTER ONE
1.0
INTRODUCTION
1.1
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Conflict is defined as disagreement between two or
more persons as a result of unexpected behaviour, change in attitude or denial
of right over an issue (Mogbo, 2002). Conflict between parents and adolescents
at this stage could be as a result of chain reaction. Change in attitude of the
adolescent as a result of the developmental stage could trigger off force,
excessive control and denial of rights by parents. When adolescent’s needs are
not met he clashes with anybody or anything that comes his way.
Conflict is a disagreement between two or more
persons, it is generally disturbing to all those involved. Adolescent-parental
conflict coupled with the developmental stage is stressful to the adolescent.
He needs help and support, and since the parents are not in the position to
render this help because of the conflict, the adolescent seeks counsel from the
peer group. This is the foundation for maladjustment (Forehand et al, 2001), it
is an opportunity to copy bad behaviours and wrong attitudes to life. If this
maladjustment is not properly handled, it is capable of affecting the progress
of the adolescent.
Children from homes with marital conflict generally
have poor academic achievement when the conflict affects the parent-child
relationship. The reverse is the case when parent-child relationship is not
affected (Miliotis Sesma and Masten, 2007). This suggests that parent-child
relationship is important for proper adjustment of the child in school. Parents
are also stressed and unhappy when relationship, with their children is not
cordial. The level of adolescent parental conflict and its influence vary from
individual to individual, from family to family and from one society to
another.
In some cases, it is more between fathers and sons
in other cases between mothers and daughters and vice versa. Adolescent
parental conflict in some families are relatively infrequent short-lived and
mild in intensity. While in some other families or societies, it is so severe
that they may need the help of a counsellor (Allison, 2000).
Communication barrier or improper communication is
another important reason for conflict. When adolescents are not given reasons
why they should or should not do anything, they feel unnecessarily restricted.
They become angry and may even revolt against their parents. (Winex and
Anderson, 2007).
Academic performance refers to how well a student
is accomplishing his or her tasks and studies (Scortt’s, 2012). Grades are
certainly the most well-known indicator of academic performance. Grades are the
student’s “score” for their classes and overall tenure. Grades are most often a
tallying or average of assignment and test scores and may often be affected by
factors such as attendance an instructor opinion of the student as well.
Grading systems vary greatly by county and school;
common scales include a percentage form 1-100, lettering systems from A-F, and
grade point averages (GPA) from 0-4.0 or above. According to Ward, Stocker and
Murray-Ward (2006) academic performance refers to the outcome of education; the
extent to which the student, teacher or institution have achieved their
educational goals. Academic performance is the ability to study and remember
facts and being able to communicate one’s knowledge verbally or written on
paper (Answers, 2010).
In the context of this study, performance refers to
the extent to which students have achieved mastery of the objectives of the
subjects they are exposed to in school. According to (Aremu and Sokan 2003)
academic achievement has been observed in school subjects especially mathematic
and English language among secondary school students.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Adolescent is a very stressful developmental stage,
the child has numerous problems to cope with and many questions to ask about
himself, his changing environment and his career. This is also the period of
working hard, making vocational choice suitable both for his ability and
interest, if he must experience job satisfaction in future. The child needs the
guardian of the parents and teachers now more than ever. Most grownups shows
bad examples by fighting amongst themselves in the presence of the children and
in most cases, they might just be the ones encouraging them to engage in
conflict forgetting that it could have a negative effect on their educational
sector, and all these unnecessary actions are just so on call for. Finally,
several researches has been carried out on the impact of conflict on academic
performance of students but not even a single research has been carried out on
the impact of conflict on the performance of students in WAEC examination in
civic education in Jos metropolis of Plateau state.
1.3 AIMS
AND OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
The
main aim of the study is to determine the impact of conflict on the performance
of students in WAEC examination in civic education in Jos metropolis. Other
specific objectives of the study include:
1.

WAEC examination in civic education in Jos metropolis.
2.
to determine the extent to which conflict affects the performance of
students in WAEC examination in civic education in Jos Metropolis.

SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
The
study on the impact of conflict on the performance of students in WAEC
examination in civic education will be of immense benefit to the entire Jos
metropolis of Plateau state in the sense that it will enable the government to
employ competent teachers to teach the students and also the school management
will be able to set up a committee that takes care of the defaulters of
conflicts in the school. The study will also enable the teachers to check their
lives in that they can be bold enough to show it as the best example for the
students to follow because as the teacher, the students look up to them for any
example of life style they portray. Finally, the study will contribute to the
body of existing literature and knowledge and basis for further research.
1.7 SCOPE
OF STUDY
The study on the impact of conflict on the
performance of students is limited to WAEC examination in civic education in
Jos metropolis of Plateau state.
1.8
LIMITATION OF STUDY
Financial constraint- Insufficient fund tends to
impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials,
literature or information and in the process of data collection (internet,
questionnaire and interview).
Time constraint- The researcher will simultaneously
engage in this study with other academic work. This consequently will cut down
on the time devoted for the research work.
1.9
DEFINITION OF TERMS
ImpactA marked effect or influence.
ConflictRefers to some form of friction, or discord
arising within a group when the beliefs or actions of one or more members of
the group are either resisted by or unacceptable to one or more members of
