1.7Delimitation of the Study
This
study is set to examine the perception of the University of Lagos
undergraduates’ perceptions towards the use of contraceptives. The study
was carried out at the Faculty of Education, University of Lagos,
Akoka, in Mainland Local Government Area of Lagos State.
1.8Definition of Terms
Operational terms were defined in this study in the following ways:
(1)
Contraception: Birth control by prevention of conception or
impregnation. This refers to the most common method of sterilization.
The most effective temporary methods are nearly 99% effective if used
consistently and correctly.
(2) Consistency: This is a term
which refers to the continued rate or frequency things happen or take
place. It means repeated occurrence of an event.
(3)
Reproduction: This means the process by which organisms replicate
themselves, assuring the continuation of their species. The two basic
forms are asexual and sexual. Asexual reproduction (e.g. fission, spore
formation regeneration and vegetative reproduction) produces an
offspring generally identical to its single parent. Sexual reproduction
produces a new individual through the union of special sex cells
(gametes) usually from different parents.
(4) Pregnancy: This
refers to the process of human gestation that takes place in the
female’s body as a fetus to birth. It begins from when a male sperm
contact with the female egg in the fallopian tube.
(5)
Perception: This is the process of registering sensory stimuli as
meaningful experience. The dividing line between sensation and
perception has varied according to how the terms are defined.
