dc.description.abstractDeviant behaviour is an anti-social behaviour that is opposed or contrary to normal social instincts or practices, and a violation of social relationship. Deviance is found everywhere people live. Hence, this paper investigated the relationship between values/moral education and deviant behaviours among Secondary School Students in Osun State, Nigeria. This study is descriptive in nature and as a result, survey method of data collection was employed. The population for the study consisted of all Secondary Schools, teachers and students in Osun State across the thirty Local Government Areas in the State. Simple random sampling technique was used to select seventy five Secondary Schools across fifteen of the existing thirty Local Government Areas in the State at five schools per Local Government Area. Five participating respondents were drawn from each of the schools in the fifteen Local Government Areas of the State and a total number of 375 respondents were considered. One main instrument tagged “Students Deviant Behaviours and the Teaching of Moral and Value Education” (SDBTMVE) was constructed for the study. Three research questions were raised while three hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The questions were answered using frequency counts, mean and standard deviation, while Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Analysis statistical tools were used to test the hypotheses. The study identified the various causes of deviant behaviour as lack of good governance, greed on the part of the youth, drug abuse, inadequate communication and understanding with parents and lack of self-esteem. It was, therefore, recommended among others, that moral and values education should be included in the curricular of post-secondary education irrespective of discipline or course of study. This will humanize students at this level of training and help to reduce cultism and armed robberies as well as other campus and societal vices.en_US
