dc.description.abstract |
uidance and counseling services are usually provided in learning institutions in Kenya.
The Ministry of Education has put much effort in terms of offering these services to
learners by the teachers. However, unrest in schools has continued in secondary schools
especially among boys‘ schools. Not only are they violent and destructive to human life.
The objective of the study was to determine the perceived role of guidance and
counseling services on academic, social and emotional adjustment of boys in secondary
schools in Bungoma County. The study employed a survey design that was descriptive.
The dependent variable in the study was perceived role of guiding and counselling while
the independent variables were academic adjustment, emotional adjustment and social
adjustment. Intervening variable during the study was type of school. Data was collected
by use of a questionnaire that was administered to 300 boys at form four level. Stratified
random sampling technique was used to select the participants. Analysis of Variance and
correlation were used to test the significance. All tests were based on the 0.05 level of
significance. The findings of the research will be useful to the Ministry of Education for
the purpose of future planning and strengthening of guidance and counseling programs.
The study will also help in the design of effective methods of guidance and counseling
as a way of improving discipline in secondary schools. The analysis indicated that there
was a significant relationship between perceived role of guidance and counseling and
academic adjustment. It was also revealed that there was no significant relationship
between perceived role of guidance and counseling and social adjustment and emotional
adjustment of boys in secondary schools. This study needs to be carried out on a large
scale with larger population samples that involve many learners. Study concluded that
there was a significant relationship between academic adjustment and perceived role of
guidance and counseling services offered in schools |
