Abstract

Juvenile delinquency is a significant problem in all societies around the world, including Nigeria, where it has implications for student mental health and academic performance. This study investigates the relationship between juvenile delinquency and its impact on the mental health and academic performance of students in Nigeria. The study was designed to identify the prevalent forms of juvenile delinquency, the underlying factors contributing to these behaviours, and the effects on student's mental health and educational outcomes. A cross-sectional research design was adopted and a sample of 250 students from ten public secondary schools in Mushin Local Government Area of Lagos State was chosen for the study. The findings reveal a significant relationship between juvenile delinquency and student mental health, with higher rates of stress, anxiety, and depression among affected students. Additionally, the findings revealed a significant impact of juvenile delinquency on academic performance, as it negatively influenced students' ability to learn, concentrate, and achieve educational goals. The prevalence of juvenile delinquency was also found to vary across different socio-economic backgrounds. The study concluded with recommendations for the implementation of comprehensive intervention strategies, including counselling services, community-based programs, and policy changes, to address the needs of students affected by juvenile delinquency in Nigeria.

Abstract

The debate between nature and nurture is a long-standing and highly deliberated concept in fields ranging from psychology to education. This research therefore sought to determine the effects of nature and nurture on academic performance, learning approaches, behaviours, and educational expectations among students within the context of Ogun State, Nigeria. The study adopted a quantitative research design where data was collected from 240 students and 60 teachers from three local government areas using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and independent sample t-tests were used to analyze data. In this context, both direct genetic effects and indirect environmental influences on the investigated educational outcomes were identified. However, the level of using environmental factors including socioeconomic status, family, teaching approaches and resources was higher with significantly more frequency. The correlation analyses and t-tests also corroborated these findings, suggesting a connection between environment and academic performance, learning styles, behavioural patterns and educational achievements. The study adds to the current body of knowledge on the nature-nurture debate within the context of the education system in Nigeria. The findings underscore the role of socioeconomic status in children’s achievement and readiness to learn, emphasizing the need for equal opportunities in education and support for their aspirations. In the same respect, the study emphasizes the importance of a bio-psychosocial model that considers both genetic predeterminations and environmental conditions to explain educational processes and performance.

Abstract

The prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) underscored the importance of tailoring educational interventions to accommodate the diverse needs of autistic students in Nigeria. This study investigated the effectiveness of individual educational programs in meeting the needs of autistic students in Nigeria. The study surveyed autistic children, teachers, and parents in special schools in Ikeja, Apapa, and Kosofe Local Government Areas of Lagos State. It used a mixed-methods approach to evaluate the effectiveness of Individual Education Programs (IEPs) in addressing the unique needs of autistic students in mainstream educational settings. The study analyzed academic performance metrics and social skills proficiency in autistic students. It also explored the experiences of teachers, parents, and autistic students through interviews and focus groups. Despite challenges like lack of resources and collaboration issues, teachers shared success stories and strategies. Parents praised positive efforts between home and school, while autistic students expressed improved learning experiences. The synthesis of quantitative and qualitative data provided a holistic evaluation of IEPs' effectiveness in promoting positive outcomes for autistic students. The findings contribute to the discourse on inclusive education, informing practices to refine IEP design and implementation. The study emphasizes providing meaningful educational support tailored to the diverse needs of autistic students in mainstream settings.
