Abstract

 The study examined the challenges of administering students’ academic clubs in Delta State public secondary schools. Three research questions guided the study and three hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised all the 448 secondary school principals across the twenty-five Local Government Areas of Delta State. Simple random sampling technique was used to draw 224 principals for the study. A self-developed instrument titled’ Challenges of Administering Students’ Academic Clubs Questionnaire (CAACQ)’’ was used for data collection. The instrument was duly validated by three experts and subjected to reliability test using split-half method which yielded coefficient value of 0.85. Mean was used to answer the research questions and t-test to test the hypotheses. The results of the study revealed among others that the challenges of administering students’ academic clubs in Delta State public secondary schools include: students’ low enthusiasm for participation in academic club activities in schools, club activities not adequately reflected in school timetable and students are overloaded in curriculum activities among others. It was also found that management options for tackling challenges of administering students’ academic clubs are: ensuring adequate funding of the clubs, assigning teachers to oversee the affairs and activities of the club, regular in-service training for affected teachers and creation of internal/external monitoring team. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended among others that school administrators should assign academic club responsibilities to teachers according to their competencies and interest. School administrators should be committed to their learners’ welfare and should ensure that their educational environment is supportive of all forms of academic club activities.
