Abstract:
Parents' practices, beliefs and attitudes like support, pressure, and anxiety have a great impact on decisions that have implications for the future, such as choice of career. This makes the study to investigate on influence of parental beliefs on primary school pupil's social development in the Edo state local government of Esan. This study employed correlation research design. 200 respondents were chosen using a multi-stage sampling technique. Parents Socio Cultural Practice Questionnaire (PSCPQ, = 0.70) is one instrument. In this study, three research questions were posed and addressed. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics for demographic information and study task frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, and weighted averages, as well as inference statistics and analysis of variance from PPMC. The results showed that parents' socio cultural practices were higher in Esan local government area of Edo State (WA=3.27). It also affirms parents' socio-cultural practices and social development of pupils (r = -0.016; P> 0.05) and parents religion does not influence their socio-cultural practices (F2,197 = 0.77; P>0.05). Based on the study's findings, it was suggested, among other things, that parents continue to foster a supportive socio cultural environment for children to maintain high social skills and that they be made aware of the risks associated with socio cultural practices that might impede social development. In our communities and educational system, western culture appears to have disregarded socio-cultural customs.
