1.6 Significance of the study
The will be of
immense benefit to innumerable members of the society who sees peer
group as a negative or wrong community otherwise known as partners in
crime, hence the saying birds of the same feather flock together. The
research is meant to provide government officials with more information
and ideas on how peer groups and teachers in public schools relate. It
will further provide teachers with ideas on how to provide dynamics that
will motivate learners and adolescents, so as to give room for good
academic performance and good behaviour.
School Authorities: this is
necessary so that parents can gain and will understand the implications
and consequences of bullied children and thus mobilize all resources to
curtail the problems arising from the situation.
Parents: through
appropriate parental counselling programmes, parents will easily
checkmate their children if they are moving with bad gangs and if their
child is passing through psychological issues.
Students: it will help
students to desist from wrong company, become selective before they
make friends, in other words they will loop before leaping because bad
company they say corrupt good manners. It will also help students desist
from violence, destruction of properties especially chairs and tables
during riot or demonstration or strike. They will become enlightened
that the properties are used by them and destruction of it will or may
hamper the process of teaching and learning.
Government: employment
into schools will be strictly for those that study education and with
competent knowledge in behaviour modification. More so, there will be
pre service training and in-service training for teachers for exposure
and experience will serve as feedback for the government agencies.
Ministry
of education: more indices that will encourage the sector to determine
the psychological level of a child and the allocation given to school
will be properly monitored. Policy that will bring about positive change
in adaptive behaviour that will transcend to the entire society will
emerge.
