    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACT The study was on the effect of cognitive restructuring and shaping techniques in reducing lateness among secondary school students. The study was carried out in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State using quasi-experimental design.   Two hundred and sixty-five (265) latecomers made up the population of the study, while ninety (90) latecomers made up the sample. An observation guide designed by the researcher was used for data collection. Three research questions were answered using frequency, and six null hypotheses were tested using ANCOVA. Result showed among others that both c ... Continue Reading

      APPENDIX C - [ Total Page(s): 5 ]Day 7 (7th session) MondayObjective: Cumulative effect of lateness and lateness- provoked behaviours.Step 1: The researcher warmly welcomed the students, saying: My beloved students, welcome to another session of the programme.   I hope that as much as we have gone, you are now convinced that lateness to school is bad. Therefore, every effort should be made to avoid being late to school. Today, we will discuss more of the adverse effect of lateness in terms of its cumulative effect and other bad behaviours resulting from lateness.Step 2: The researcher asked the students to mention long-term ...

      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 3 ]It is important to note that these techniques have proved effective in handling some problem behaviours. For instance, Chukwunonyem (2001) used cognitive restructuring technique to change pupils’ behaviour in mathematics, and Isaac (as cited in Akinade & Adedipe, 1994) used shaping successfully to reinstate verbal behaviour in hospitalized psychotics.   Therefore, it is hoped that the techniques will also be effective in handling lateness among students.Statement of the ProblemMany secondary school students attend school late everyday of the week. This has led to many of the students ... Continue Reading

         

      CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 9 ]Theories of ShapingShaping is one of the techniques derived from operant conditioning theory. The theory postulates that human behaviour can be acquired, maintained and therefore controlled by its consequences. Thus the frequency of a response may increase or decrease behaviours depending on whether the outcome of the response is pleasant or aversive (Essuman, Nwaogu, & Nwachuku, 1990).According to Colman (2003), shaping involves gradual building up of a desired pattern of behaviour by selectively reinforcing closer and closer approximation of it … The desired behaviour is evoked by rein ...

      CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 8 ]Table 4 shows that after receiving shaping technique therapy, one out of the 30 students who were late for 20 days before the treatment came late for 12 days, 5 of them came late for 14 days, 6 came late for 15 days, 2 came late for 16 days, 5 of them came late for 17 days and 5 of them came late for 18 days. Also 5 of the students came late for 19 days while one of them came late for 20 days, showing no change in behaviour.Again 2 of the 30 students in the control group came late for 18 days, 3 of them came late for 19 days, while 25 of them came late for 20 days, showing no change in behavio ...

      CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 3 ]ConclusionsFrom the discussions, lateness to school has been in existence and people have been contemplating and participating in the battle against the ugly behaviour. Today, the findings of this study have opened the doors of hope.First and foremost, cognitive restructuring has been found to be effective in reducing both the number of days of lateness and magnitude of lateness of habitual latecomers. Also, shaping technique has been found to be very effective not only in reducing the number of days of lateness but also the magnitude of lateness of habitual latecomers. So there is hope now fo ...
