1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Adedoyin in (2012) defined and observed moral decadence as extreme delinquent, disorderly, irregularity, destructive unjust and non-conforming behaviors characteristics of stratified people or individuals which continues to spread intra and inter-institutions campuses. Those problem reduce the value of education and destroy the human capacity for leadership and good citizenship its lowers the academic integrity of the institutions and destroy peace, security progress and real development of the society, collectively, indiscipline lead to anti-human behaviors that have failed all tests of decency and civilized living conditions.
Different societies have their own moral values which are considered normal, ideal and morally acceptable. Hence, the conduct of the people of a society is regulated and controlled by the moral values. The tendency and ability to identity what is right instead of the wrong ones and as well practice it, give it the moral virtue. According to Aristotle, moral virtue is the habit that is consciously acquired through practice. Thus, good moral conduct had been emphasized and echoed in the society right from the era of Socrates to Plato and through the Aristotelian philosophy. Perhaps, that makes Fredrick Herbert to say that the aim and indeed the total aim of education should be summed up under morality. Within the context of education therefore, public holds the schools and the teachers more accountable for students’ learning and behaviors.
Students’ indiscipline is global phenomenon. It permeates all educational set- ups. Statistics of student indiscipline is abound across all educational institutions globally. For instance, in the United States as reported by Larson (2008), the National Center for Educational Statistics reveals that in 2006, thirty six (36) percent of students in grade 9-12 reported that they had been in a physical fight within the last year. The reports add that, four percent (4%) of inner city teachers and three percent (3%) of suburban and rural school teachers were physically assaulted by students. According to Kuntz (2000), day after day primary and secondary school teachers both private and state school are confronted with examples of bad behaviors- destruction of school equipment and furniture, pupils lack of respect for each other or for adults which impede normal school routine.
