Background of the Study:
Religious education plays a central role in shaping the moral and ethical frameworks of students, particularly in regions where religious values are deeply embedded in everyday life. In Kano Municipal LGA, Kano State, the curriculum emphasizes the importance of obedience, respect for authority, and disciplined behavior as cornerstones of personal and social development (Abdulrahman, 2023). Religious teachings are integrated into classroom instruction through lectures, discussions, and practical exercises that underscore the need for adherence to school rules. The underlying philosophy is that obedience is not merely an external mandate but a reflection of internalized ethical values drawn from religious principles. Students learn that following rules is essential for maintaining order and achieving academic success. Recent studies have reported a positive relationship between religious instruction and improved behavioral outcomes among students, highlighting how a well-implemented curriculum can foster an environment of discipline and order (Mustapha, 2024). In Kano Municipal LGA, the curriculum includes real-life examples and role-playing activities that demonstrate the benefits of obeying school rules. Such strategies not only help students internalize the principles of respect and discipline but also prepare them to face challenges beyond the classroom. As societal expectations evolve, integrating religious values with modern educational practices continues to be crucial for promoting orderly behavior and a conducive learning environment (Bello, 2023).
Statement of the Problem:
Despite the clear emphasis on discipline and obedience within the religious education curriculum, there are ongoing challenges related to inconsistent rule adherence among students in Kano Municipal LGA. Although theoretical instruction on obedience and respect is provided, practical application often falls short. Variations in teaching quality, differing interpretations of religious texts, and external social pressures contribute to an environment where some students exhibit reluctance in following school rules (Suleiman, 2024). Moreover, the balance between encouraging independent critical thinking and enforcing obedience poses a challenge, sometimes leading students to question authority rather than comply with it. This inconsistency suggests that the current pedagogical methods may not adequately bridge the gap between religious teachings and everyday behavior. The absence of a standardized evaluation method for assessing rule compliance further complicates efforts to measure the curriculum’s effectiveness. Therefore, a comprehensive investigation is needed to identify the factors that hinder consistent obedience to school rules and to explore strategies for enhancing the impact of religious education on student discipline. The study aims to address these issues by analyzing curriculum content, teaching methodologies, and student perceptions to determine how best to align religious teachings with practical rule adherence (Ibrahim, 2023).
Objectives of the Study:
1. To determine the impact of religious education on students’ willingness to obey school rules.
2. To assess the effectiveness of the religious curriculum in promoting disciplined behavior.
3. To identify strategies for enhancing the integration of religious teachings with school rule enforcement.
Research Questions:
1. How does religious education influence students’ willingness to obey school rules in Kano Municipal LGA?
2. What elements of the religious curriculum are most effective in fostering discipline and rule adherence?
3. How can religious values be better integrated into school policies to improve compliance?
Research Hypotheses:
1. H1: Religious education positively influences students’ willingness to obey school rules.
2. H2: A robust religious curriculum results in higher levels of discipline among students.
3. H3: Effective integration of religious teachings with school policies enhances rule compliance.
Significance of the Study:
This study is significant as it provides insights into the role of religious education in promoting obedience and discipline among students. Its findings will inform educators and policymakers on how to refine the curriculum so that religious values are effectively aligned with school rule enforcement, thereby contributing to a more orderly educational environment (Abdulrahman, 2023).
Scope and Limitations of the Study:
This study is limited to secondary schools in Kano Municipal LGA and focuses exclusively on the impact of religious education on students' willingness to obey school rules. It examines curriculum content and instructional methods without considering broader socio-economic or cultural influences.
Definitions of Terms:
• Obedience: Compliance with rules and directives from authority figures.
• Discipline: The practice of training oneself to adhere to ethical and behavioral standards.
• Religious Education: An academic program that imparts religious principles and ethical teachings.
