| dc.description.abstract | The study investigated the extent and organisation of guidance services in some secondary schools so as to assess the impact of guidance services on the lives of students. The main objective was to find out what the schools were doing to meet the educational, social and personal needs of the stuaents, and the means by which students could be better helped to understand themselves and plan for their future careers. Two main research questions were posed and answered. In addition, the following null hypotheses were stated and tested at 0.05 level of significance: 1. There is no significant difference between male and female students* needs for guidance services in the selected secondary schools. 2. There is no significant difference between students' ages and their needs for guidance servicer, 3. There is no significant difference between the mean scores of day and boarding students with respect of their needs for guidance services in secondary schools. ix The sample size of 308 respondents was randomly chosen out of which 296 were from Junior Secondary Three and Senior Secondary Two while 12 school counsellors were drawn from the six sample schools. The main instruments used for the study were the questionnaire and structured interview which were designed by the researcher. ANOVA and t-test statistical tools were used to analyse the data. Hypotheses 1 was retained while, hypotheses 2 and 3 were rejected. The study revealed the following: 1. That age has no significant effect on students' need for counsel-ling. That is to say both old and young need guidance services. 2. That guidance services have not yet made any appreciable impact in most of these schools under study. From the findings the following major recommendations were made: (a) That school administrations should provide some infrastructure, such as counsel-ling rooms adequate furniture and adequate funds to equip counsel-ling rooms. X (b) That the teaching load of the guidance masters should be greatly reduced so that they could give adequate time to guidance service for students. (c) That teachers, principals and other school staff members should be deeply involved in school guidance program-mes. This is necessary since without their cooperation school guidance masters cannot achieve much success. | en_US |
