Abstract

This study sought to x-ray indecent dressing among female undergraduates in a university community and its impact on the emotional adjustment and cognitive engagement of their male counterparts in Anambra State. The descriptive design was adopted for this study and guided by three research questions. The sample size for the study was 542 undergraduate male students in a government-owned university in Anambra State drawn through a multi-stage sampling procedure. Researcher designed questionnaire validated by experts in the field of Education was used in eliciting responses from the respondents. The reliability of the instrument was determined using Cronbach’s alpha to estimate the internal consistency of the instrument. The analysis gave an alpha coefficient of 0.71, 0.73, 0.70 and 0.72 for clusters 1 to 4 respectively and 0.71 for the whole cluster. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings of the study revealed prevalence of indecent dressing among female undergraduate students in Anambra State. It also showed that indecent dressing among female students are sustained by many factors such as imitation of western dressing style, peer/social group pressure, fashion in vogue and poor parenting. The result further revealed that curbing indecent dressing in tertiary institutions in Anambra State is possible through creating of awareness on proper dress codes for students using bill boards. Finally, the findings of the study showed that indecent dressing among female undergraduate students has a negative impact on both the emotional adjustment and cognitive engagement of their male counterparts in Anambra State. It was recommended among others that there should be enforcement of policies against indecent dressing on campuses.

Abstract

Academic engagement is essential if students must fulfil their academic goals and key to their success. The research employed a correlational research design to assess the extent to which parental involvement and academic resilience can predict the academic engagement of secondary school students in Anambra State. The study was guided by three research questions and tested three null hypotheses at a significance level of 0.05. 19708 senior secondary class two (SS2) students made up the study's population, from which 960 samples were selected using a multi-stage simple random approach. The study employed three instruments, namely the Parental Involvement Questionnaire (PIQ), Academic Resilience Questionnaire (ARQ), and Academic Engagement Questionnaire (AEQ), which were validated by three experts in the field of Educational Psychology. To evaluate the instruments' reliability, the Cronbach Alpha technique was employed, yielding alpha coefficients of 0.72, 0.71, and 0.70 for PIQ, ARQ, and AEQ, respectively. Simple regression analysis was used to test the null hypothesis and simple correlation analysis was used to answer research questions. The results showed that academic engagement is positively correlated with parental involvement and academic resilience. It also demonstrated that parental involvement and academic resilience worked together to enhance secondary school students' academic engagement in Anambra State. The study's conclusions led to the recommendation that parents get active in their children's education to both strengthen their resilience and raise their academic engagement.

Abstract

Academic engagement is vital to students’ academic success, especially in higher education settings where motivation and support systems vary widely. This study investigated the influence of social support and academic self-efficacy on academic engagement among undergraduates of Nnamdi Azikiwe University. The main objectives were to determine the extent to which parental and peer support and students’ belief in their academic abilities correlate with their level of academic engagement. A correlational research design was used to guide the study. From a total population of about 20,000 undergraduate students enrolled in the 2023/2024 academic session, a sample of 403 students was randomly selected using a simple random sampling technique to ensure equal representation. Data were collected using three standardized instruments: the social support questionnaire (SSQ), the academic self-efficacy questionnaire (ASEQ), and the academic engagement questionnaire (AEQ). The data were analyzed using SPSS software. Pearson’s product-moment correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to test the research questions and hypotheses. Findings showed significant positive relationships between social support (both parental and peer), academic self-efficacy, and students’ academic engagement. These results highlight the importance of fostering supportive learning environments and building students’ confidence in their academic abilities. Practical implications suggest that universities should implement structured peer mentoring, parental involvement strategies, and workshops that enhance academic self-efficacy to improve student engagement and academic outcomes.
