I am a Trained Guidance Counsellor, author, International Speaker, and now a full time PhD student in psychology, at Bedfordshire University conducting research on the effects of counselling on study habits and locus of control among African senior secondary students and working with academically underachieving students to investigate the attitudinal factors which result in poor academic performance.
The major focus of the research is to demonstrate the extent to which counselling can be used to alter students’ attitudes to study in order to improve academic performance.
Through my experience with young people that I have worked with in schools and different organizations for over fifteen years, my observation is that they often go through life with no vision, set goals, and knowledge of how to study. My aim is therefore to investigate and recommend strategies to help them understand and develop right approaches to studying.
I am exploring the impact and scope of locus of control issues in students, which inhibit their academic performance. It is not just the right approaches to studying that really affect students’ result, but psychologically hidden factors that must be identified to alter attitudes.
A pilot study has been conducted, now in the process of data analysis to determine my next step on the research.
