Okwu Department of Agricultural Extension and Communication, University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Nigeria E-mail: oto079@yahoo.com KEYWORDS Students; vices; education; socialization; society; social problems ABSTRACT One of the most pressing issues in minds of people in Nigeria as far as education is concerned today is that pertaining to the quality or standard of education. Qualitative education should lead to detectable gains in knowledge, skills and values. There are, however, several students’ vices that seem to be militating against realization of the desired qualitative education in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Some of these vices are cultism, drug abuse, examination malpractice, obscene dressing and sexual promiscuity/harassment. Each of these vices and the possible social and academic implications are explained. Major employers of Nigerian graduates have widely agreed on quality decline in higher education in the country, particularly in the areas of communication in oral and written English and technical proficiency. It is recommended that the responsibility of preventing or curbing general students’ vices in Nigerian tertiary institutions be a collective one resting on parents, teachers, religious leaders, authorities of the institutions as well as government. This can be done through appropriate upbringing...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Every student wishes to have a successful career in the future. Through education, student’s dream and goal will come true. Education provides knowledge, skills, and learning that students’ need in order for them to have a good educational background. This is one of the reasons why many high school students think of courses that will provide a highest educational attainment. Some students chose courses that will make them most popular and most superior among others. Not knowing that it was a big mistake. Over the years, this kind of system is not prevented instead it is overspreading among the students especially Civil Engineering students. Some students taking BSCE in SLSU were not totally convinced in choosing this course. Some of those enrolled in this course are just following their parents’ want. Some are just want to follow their grandfather’s, grandmother’s, father’s, mother’s, or even neighbor’s steps. Some just copied courses from their classmates just like copying a seatmate’s answer in a quiz. Students do this knowing that this should be thought deeply for this will lead them towards a bright future. Hossler, Braxton, and Coopersmith (1989), stated that College choice is defined as a complex, multistage process during which an individual develops aspirations to continue formal education beyond high school, followed later by a decision to attend a specific college, university or institution of advanced vocational training. However, taking...

...individual and remains fairly consistent throughout life. Experience and academic research has shown that an individual’s personality has a strong influence on how they work within an organization. One's image in the eyes of other people is important. If one is to represent a company and indeed one's self, an image of orderliness is vital, to win confidence. * According to Koontz (2007) many opportunities for development can be found on-the-job. Trainees can learn as they contribute to the aims of the enterprise. However, because this approach requires competent higher – level managers who can teach and coach trainees, there are limitations to do on-the-job training. Planned progression is a technique that gives managers a clear idea of their path of development. It may be perceived by trainees as a smooth path to the top, but it really is a step-by-step approach which requires that task to be done well at each level. Trainees learn about different enterprise functions by job rotations. They may rotate through: non-supervisory work, observation assignments (observing what managers do, rather than managing themselves) and therefore has positive aspects and should benefits the trainees. “Assistant - to” positions are frequently created to broaden the viewpoint of trainees by allowing them to work closely with experienced managers who can give special attention to the...

...quantitative study of the researchers looked into the environment-centered and time-centered study habits of graduating CIHM students of the UPHSD-Las Pinas. Data were collected using validated self-made questionnaire and were analysed statistically. With overall average of 3.19 means that the CIHM students ‘Sometimes’ prefer environment-centered study habits. The indicator ‘I want to have a good light’ has the highest average of 3.35 which means that the CIHM students ‘Sometimes’ prefer to have a good light. Similarly, with overall average of 3.18 the CIHM students ‘Sometimes’ prefer time management-centered study habits. There is very low relationship between the general weighted average of CIHM students and their study habits, and this relationship is found to be not significant. When CIHM students are grouped according to their general weighted average, results show there are no significant differences in the environment-centered study habits of CIHM students; there are also no significant differences in time management-centered study habits of CIHM students; and, in general, there are no significant differences in the study habits of CIHM students. The researchers conclude that what the CIHM students preferred in their environment when they study, namely, a comfortable chair, a good light and a right room temperature, are exactly the same things that learners would prefer to have when they study. Temperature is as important as the light. No one can study, or do anything...
