Abstract

This study examined the influence of family background on the self-concept of secondary school students in Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area. Three research questions and three null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study was delimited to senior secondary two students in public secondary schools in Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area. The survey research design was used for the study. The population of the study was 2,592 senior secondary school two students (SS 2) in all the public secondary school in Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. A stratified random sampling technique was used in selecting 10 schools and a sample size of 250 senior secondary schools two students were selected. The instrument titled ‘’Family Background and Self-Concept Questionnaire (FBSCQ)’’ was developed by the researchers and validated by three experts from the Department of Educational Foundations Guidance and Counselling, Faculty of Education, University of Uyo, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. Cronbach Alpha reliability method was used to compute the reliability of the research instrument which yielded a co-efficient of 0.79 after the instrument was administered to 50 students who did not take part in the study. The data collected from FBSCQ were analysed using mean and Standard Deviation for the research questions, while One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and independent t-test were used for testing the null hypotheses depending on the variables investigated. All the null hypotheses were tested at .05 Alpha level of significance. The findings indicated that family background variables such as family size, and parents’ educational level does not have any significant influence on students’ self-concept, while family social class has a significant influence on students’ self-concept. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others, that parents should ameliorate their social class in order to meet up with students’ need in school in order to enhance the development of positive self-concept.
