Adapting the Social Cognitive Career Theory, this research aimed to delineate the factors influencing the career aspirations of primary school students in their final and penultimate years in Ibadan. Data were amassed via unstructured yet in-depth interviews with 48 pupils, who were chosen using a multi-stage sampling method from two distinct local government areas within Ibadan. Subsequent to collection, the data underwent transcription, coding, and thematic analysis. The study highlighted the prevalence of gender-stereotyped career choices. The research identified that environmental factors exert varying degrees of influence on the pupils' career aspirations, whereas perceived academic capabilities play a pivotal role in shaping these aspirations. Based on these findings, it is recommended to incorporate comprehensive career guidance and development programs within the primary education curriculum in Ibadan.</p> Abayomi Shamsudeen Arigbabu Oluwaseun Oladeji Olaniyi Adebajo Adeola Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s).

Values are those principles or standards that help improve quality of life and forms the basis of character and personality development. Values can be love, compassion, sympathy, empathy, tolerance, etc. They lay the foundation for externally practiced values like integrity, honesty, discipline, punctuality, and loyalty. The study also assessed the effectiveness of the Integrity Club. The integrity clubs instituted in the schools’ advocated integrity, trust, respect, ownership, leadership, teamwork, and patriotism to students and staff through various activities. The study, using the data from the Youth Integrity Assessment (YIA) 2022 conducted by the Anti-Corruption Commission of Bhutan (ACC) found that factors, such as, positive social influence, being accountable for one’s actions, and believing in ethical conduct formed the prerequisite conditions for leading a successful life. Hence, these critical factors significantly engendered positive values in the youths. Moreover, having an Integrity Club in the schools made a positive influence on the youths particularly in understanding the ethical way of living. Also, in general, the females and the mature youths in the schools with Integrity Club portrayed of possessing more values in comparison to the youths in the schools without Integrity Club. The study's findings could assist policy-makers in designing and implementing programs and initiatives to create a conducive environment for the youth to imbibe positive values.</p> Tashi Jamtsho Karma Thinley Wangchug Copyright (c) 2024 Author(s).
