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.
