Abstract
The main purpose in this study was to compare the management procedures
in the two orphanage homes in Kaduna State, with a view to establishing whether
or not significant differences exist in the biodata of staff and the children; in the
management of the two homes i.e. Zaria Children's Home and Jamiyya Matan
Arewa; as well as in the physical and social development of the children. To this
effect, 25 staff members were sampled and used as respondents to a fifty-item
structured questionnaire. For the purpose of the study four hypotheses of no
significant differences were postulated. A self assessed design was adopted
because the information required for the study already existed with and in the
homes. All the staff and students in the orphanage homes that constituted the
population for the study also served as sample because of the small number. The
data collected in this study were statistically analyzed using t test, correlation and
analysis of variance statistical techniques.
The finding of the study show, among other things, that significant differences
exist in the biodata of staff and children in vitality and morbidity rates in the two
homes. The results also show that there were no significant differences in learning
resources as well as in the physical and social development of the children in the
two homes. The results further show that there is a significant relationship between
the management procedures in the two homes.
It was recommended, among other things, that a well equipped and staffed
clinic be established in each home, and that similar research work be carried out in
other orphanage homes in other states.
