The Individual

Moral development is a complex effort to create an environment that enhances an individual‘s movement through stages of moral reasoning. This occurs in the context of interplay of factors like attitudes, beliefs and other external factors, such as peer, parental, and media influences. Furthermore, children acquire a wide range of behaviours, thoughts and feelings through observing others‘ behaviour (Bandura, 1997). Kenya like many other countries of the world has experienced rapid technological, economic and social changes which have overwhelming effects on both the individual behaviour and the society. Despite this awareness the pursuit of academic knowledge in primary schools continue to be viewed as more important and distinct from the acquisition and application of moral values. This paper examines the factors influencing moral development among pupils and scrutinizes impediments within and outside the schools that impact negatively on learners‘ behaviour in public primary schools in. The study used ex post facto design adopting both qualitative and quantitative approaches.Moral development is a complex effort to create an environment that enhances an individual‘s movement through stages of moral reasoning.

This paper examines the factors influencing moral development among pupils and scrutinizes impediments within and outside the schools that impact negatively on learners‘ behaviour in public primary schools in. The study used ex post facto design adopting both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Both multi-stage and random sampling techniques were used to select 100 pupils and 30 teachers. A questionnaire, an interview schedule an observation protocol to gather data on the general school environment were used Quantitative data were analysed and presented in percentages, frequency tables, and graphs and qualitative data were grouped into themes or categories, establishing connections and comparing them. The study found that parenting, urbanization, school environment, pupil characteristics impacted negatively on moral development among pupils. Consequently, pupils exhibited problem behaviours such as sexual relations, abusive language, gossiping, disobedience, indiscipline, disrespect, rudeness, dishonesty, conflicts, and bad groups as indicators of low moral status. The study recommends more learners‘ centred methods such as guidance and counselling, seminars, modelling, proper parenting, collaboration, pastoral care, strict rules, and teaching of moral values to be intensified to improve moral development among pupils.

The purpose of this study was to investigate resilience and gender as determinants of entrepreneurial intentions among secondary school students in Kwara State, Nigeria. Descriptive research design of ex-post-facto type was used in the study. Five hundred respondents were selected randomly from 5 Local Government Area in Kwara State, Nigeria. The respondents were measured with validated scale and the data obtained was analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) statistical analysis. Two research hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05level of significance. The result showed that there was significant relationship between the resilience and entrepreneurial intentions among secondary school students (r = 0.817; p < 0.05) and there no significant difference in the entrepreneurial intentions of male and female secondary school students (t = 0.71; p > 0.05). In view of these findings, the study recommended that the entrepreneurship training should be made compulsory at all levels of learning from primary schools to the tertiary institutions and curriculum should be tailored towards learning the skills for starting businesses after graduation from school, thus changing the orientation of the students at an early stage towards entrepreneurship.

Through the purposive sampling design, a total of 151 teachers that teaching at 14 primary schools in the island zone was involved in this study. Descriptive and inference statistics were used to analyze the data and to present the findings of the study. The data were analyzed by using Multiple Regression Analysis. The findings show that the level of teachers’ efficacy (M = 7.45, SD = .86) and teachers' metacognition awareness (M = 4.11, SD = .40) are at a high and positive level. The results of the multiple regression analysis showed that only one dimension of the constructs of the teachers’ efficacy: teaching strategies (β = .591, t = 5.655, p <.05) found to be able to contribute significant predictor value to teacher metacognition awareness and thus reject the null hypothesis. Research implications have also been discussed.

Pakistani society is facing numerous problems such as intolerance, violence, lying, dishonesty and sexual harassment to mention just a few. Parents and schools have a major role to play in the moral development of children. This mixed methods study examined teachers’ involvement in developing moral values in children from three private sector schools in Karachi, Pakistan. Document analysis of primary schools’ curriculum, in-depth interviews and classroom observations of nine teachers were conducted to understand how moral values are imparted through formal education. Additionally, 240 parents participated in a quantitative survey to investigate parental involvement in the moral development of children. Findings revealed inadequate focus of the schools’ curricula towards moral education, teachers’ limited perceptions and their subsequent lack of contribution to moral development of students. The quantitative data from parents showed satisfactory involvement of parents in moral growth of their children, measuring above 60% for every variable. Data also revealed that parents focus more on instructions rather than discussions about the moral values with their children. Findings highlight the need for coordinated efforts towards moral development of children involving parents, teachers and schools.
