ABSTRACT
The study investigated the effects of training ( T ) and self-management (SM)
techniques on slovenly behaviour among
primary school pupils in Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State. The
study adopted a quasi-experimental research with pretest, post-test
non-randomized control design using a 3x2 factorial matrix . Five research
questions were posed and answered while five null hypotheses were formulated
and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The population of the study consists
of one hundred and fifty six pupils for the study. The sample for this study
consisted of 36 participants drawn from the population of 156 primary school
pupils that exhibited slovenly behaviour using purposive sampling techniques
with two instruments titled Pupils Slovenly Behaviour identification
Questionnaire (PSBIQ) and Pupils Slovenly Behaviour Observation Shedule (PSBOS)
developed by the researcher for the study. The instruments were validated and
reliability indices were 0.81 and 0.79, respectively. The data collection in
this study involved pre-test phase, treatment phase and follow-up phase .The
mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. Analysis
of co-variance (ANCOVA) was employed to analyze the data collected at pre-test,
post-test and follow-up assessment period to test the hypotheses. The findings
of the study showed that training and self-management techniques were effective
in reduction of slovenly behaviour among primary school pupils. Further, gender
differences exist significantly in the treatment groups of slovenly behaviour
among primary school pupils especially at the post- test and follow-up
assessment period. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that
two behavioural treatment techniques should be used in reduction of
slovenliness by the teachers and teacher-counsellors, in primary school
setting.
