...
The family cycle is where many human needs and happiness can
be satisfied
...
It is important to stress here that the child in the womb cannot
be aided to be socialized
...

A family into which a child is born may be a major determinant of his/her success in
school
...
So that it
will hit the target
...

The family over the years has been on transition or put directly experiencing social
changes and one of these changes include the threat to the survived of this basic social institution
which is the family
...

The family as a social institution which this project work is anchored is assumed to be
saddled with a lot of problem which result in its instability parent nowadays no longer believe
...

The inability of the spouses to assume their right and obligations properly will result to
instability in the family and some time it may lead to separation which does not augur well for
their children
...
2 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Marriage is the union of man and woman in the society in a socially approved way
...
Members of the extended family must fulfill their own goals and an objective
identified with members of both the nuclear and extended family interference sets in and leads to
breakdown in the family network
...
If these goals are not properly combined,
it could lead to situations like divorce or breakdown of the relationship between nuclear and
extended family members and family existence
...
It is an ill wind that
does no good to the children’s performance in education
...
A basic philosophy of
the national policy on education is the provision of equal educational opportunities for all its
citizens in different educational levels
...
This is
the more reason why there is inequality in education in Ondo West
...

Some characteristics that will be applied in this study are: home convenience as it effect
his/her take home assignment and performance on health, level of interactions as it affects
his/her communication, without absenteeism as it affects his/her record of attendance during
school hours, neatness as if affect his/her nails cloths, her etc
...

...

Therefore, a child who has impaired socialization will carry it to adulthood and through
his life time
...
Most significant
of such problem is the emotional disturbances associated with marital instability
...

On the side of the man his problem might lead him into some anti-social activities which
will eventually affect his offspring’s educationally
...

Furthermore, the atmosphere in which a child develops determines his success in his
school work and his relations with others in the school environment
...
The
family environment is most important in making the personality of an adult what it is
...

The growing child has a lot to learn from the parents whether good or bad
...
Those are good for the children’s better
educational development should such children go to school
...

Marital separation or instable homes result in most of these problems
...
Such
parents are often unable to provide for their children educational advancement such as books
school uniform and other useful materials
...

Also in homes where children miss either their mother or their father they are usually not
happy especially when it is as a case of separation or that he or she is dead
...

Thus they will always lag behind in whatever they are doing with other children
...
In peace
...

The concern of the study is to find out the effects of marital instability on the academic
performance of junior secondary school students in Ondo West L

Different level of policy makers may as well draw inspiration from this research work on
effects of marital instability
...

The last but not the least of this study is the suggestion, solution and maintenance of
mental equilibrium for better families for a better tomorrow
...
6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This study is concentrated on Ondo West local government area of Ondo State
...

1
...
Does marital instability bring about the student untidiness in school?
2
...
Do students from broken homes do their assignment and behave alike with other from
stable home?

...

There is no significant difference between the academic performance of student from
stable homes and the academic performance of students from broken home in junior secondary
school level
...
0 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

have carried out different research studies and revealed numerous causes and effects of marital
instability:
Studies carried out in the area of marital instability will be reviewed under the following

...
EFFECTS OF STABLE HOME ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF THE
STUDENTS IN JUNIOR SECONDARY LEVEL
...
This indicate therefore that whatever type of family into which a
child is born will one way or the other affects his education
...

Blooms (1986) showed that the home environment is one of the most important sets of
influences in the emotional and intellectual development of children especially during the school
13

years
...

He explained that the objects in the home, the amount of parental interest in learning and
the amount of practices and encouragement the children is given in conversation and general
learning have been found to have significant influences on languages and cognitive development,
attention span and motivation of the child”
...

Nwoye (1988) observed that “if most house holds and families could discharge their
families responsibilities, dutifully caring for the dependent to socializing the child, building the
foundation of love, giving social support, giving identity supervising basic learning, teaching
respect for authority to mention but a few the child could perform very well and the society and
school would have a different out look than what is found today, this is so because ones early
family education is reflected later in one’s attitude and performance
...

Pallock and Middleton (1989) indicated that emotional climate of home, the quality of
family relationship and many other social factors have tremendous influences on the health
behavior of children
...


14

2
...

Both, Johnson and Edward (1983) noted that the term family instability has been in

appropriate equated with marital dissolution
...
it
was frequently asserted that marital instability has a deteriorating effect on the children’s
development
...

Anagbogu and Chikendu (1989) had it that “The importance of the role of the father in
the child’s development is a vital one
...
Because of unstable home” Umunna (1988)
...
They would become incentive to
family issues and tend to neglect a child’s complain of no shoes, no school feed, no school
uniform, no books and other aid for educational and moral development
...

Rejection by the mother which can be shown in a variety of ways is a form of severe
deprivation for the child who is likely to react by showing emotional or behavioral disturbance
...
It is best that parents especially mother stay near their
children, care for them teach them good moral behavior because human being needs attention all
through his life for an effective all round development
...
This is
because Ajale (1987) had it that an emotional disturbance could affect a child’s general behavior
both in and outside the classroom
...
Since olive
trees cannot but produce olive fruit
...

2
...
It has been observed that children
from instable home lack academic aspiration from such homes
...

Gallaghor emphasized that lack of attention has adverse effect on the life of the children
it could lead to diligence in children” he further said that both mother and father help in the
socialization of the child
...

16

Both Johnson and Edward (1983) said that when children lack concentration they tend to
withdraw within themselves, eat less and show over activity of a restless kind or loose interest in
everything around them and develop a rebellious nature such children have problem that parent
must recognize
...

Finally Udoh (1987) stated that a child who is unhealthy cannot function effectively in
his academic
...
4

IMPACT OF FAMILY ON THE STUDENTS TAKE HOME ASSIGNMENT
Turner stated that the school is the most important agent outside the home in shaping the

health of a child
...
He said that the elementary school years as well as the home are very
formative for the child
...
Listen to their needs and grant some of them make them happy
...
no child should suffer the burdens of illness
or defect resulting from conditions that are preventable or correctable
...

According to Udoh, Fawole, Ajala, Okafor Nwana Obanya (1988) …… the impact of
learning on children will come to nothing unless the school itself and home has a healthy
environment
...

This is supported when Umesiegbu (1988) said that “Any aspect of the school
programmed should be enhanced by parental participation at home”

17

Both the home and the community could have positive or negative influence on the health
attitudes and practices of the school child
...
Udo et al (1988)
...

Parent should not neglect their children’s home work for promotion of good performance
his education must be sound both at school and at home
...

A child is known by the family and retreat exerts a heavy toll on the well being of the
child when vital indications of his survival and development are considered
...

2
...

Werner (1987) sees personal hygiene as that great task in the prevention of many kinds of

infections through adequate practice of personal cleanliness as well as public cleanliness
...


18

Bucher, Charles and Reade (1974) make us to understand that the tender years of
childhood are most important the starting point of social, physical and mental development
...
Symbols are
learned and social values are being acquired and in a situation where the parent life is battered,
the child might not be able to acquire all
...

Pallock (1989) states that adults can promote self reliance by showing an awareness of
their own identity and autonomy, by defining for themselves appropriate values and behavior
standard by acting responsibly and providing children with experience that help them grow into
self reliant adults
...
1 THE POPULATION OF THE STUDY
The target population for the study consisted of pupils in secondary school in Ondo West
which is divided into two educational zones composed of yaba and Ayeyemi zone consisted of
15 junior schools while awards consisted of 25 schools
...

CHAPTER FIVE
DISCUSSIONS, SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
...
TYPE OF HOME AFFECTS CHILDREN PERFORMANCE
In this direction, children from stable home perform better than children from unstable
home
...

Harwood (1982) went further to agree with the above when he stated that family being
the first institution for child education as an institution the family has shown a remarkable
capacity for survival and the various ways in which families have organized themselves and
these actually influence the child’s performance in primary schools
...

Soyombo (1986) concluded that type of home provides the child with his most
fundamental needs which the child needs for his performance
...
CHILDREN FROM BROKEN HOME DO NOT DO THEIR ASSIGNMENT
...
Booth, Johnson and Edward (1983) agree that marital instability has a very negative
psychological physical and social effects upon the children with this in view it is clear that such
child could lack concentration in her academics and as such could not battle with his assignment
problem
...
A very conducive
home environment gives a child an enormous opportunity for her educational activity
...

Children from broken homes suffer the burdens of illness and defect resulting from
conditions that are preventable or correctable
...
This sympathetic situation characterized the broken home environment as cited
by Nwachili
3
...
Ajda (1987) supported this statement when he stated that emotional
disturbance could affect a child’s general behavior both in and outside the classroom
...

These are as a result of parental care and uncare as the case may be
...

Anagbogu and Chikendu (1989) went further to assert in the affirmative that separation
from the mother during childhood could lead to emotional maladjustment, delinquency,
untidiness educational problems and even psychopath behavior of the child

Has been observed that children from unstable homes lack acadmic aspiration from such
homes and also found that children from unstable home feel rejected and inferior, and for this
reasons they always go with low mentality and therefore do not perform very well academically
...
Blooms (1986) went further to
conclude that environment is one of the most important set of influences in the emotional and
intellectual development of children especially during the school years
...

SUMMARY
Having examined and appraised the influence martial instability on the academic
performance of junior secondary school student in Ondo West local government area
...
