ABSTRACT
This study examined the effect of positive reinforcement counselling technique on absenteeism among secondary school students in Bakori Local Government Katsina State, Nigeria. A quasi experimental design involving pre-test, post-test treatment group was adopted for the study. Purposive sampling technique was used in selecting fifteen (15) samples out of the total number of (425) absentees identified using class attendance daily register to serve as the treatment group. The treatment group was exposed to the treatment programme using positive reinforcement counselling technique (praise and token) for the period of six weeks. The descriptive statistics were used to answer the research questions, and hypotheses were tested using paired t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The result showed that praise had significant effect in reducing habitual absenteeism among secondary school students (t= 6.619, p =0.003), That token had significant effect in reducing habitual absenteeism among secondary school students (t = 5.759, p = 0.005), That praise had significant effect in reducing terminal absenteeism among secondary school students (t= 8.621, p = 0.001), That token had significant effect in reducing terminal absenteeism among secondary school students (t= 4.621, p = 0.011).Positive reinforcement counselling technique (praise and token) has been found effective in treating Absenteeism behaviour among secondary school students. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that counsellors, psychologists, teachers and school administrators should employ positive reinforcement technique (praise and token) in reducing absenteeism among secondary school students irrespective of gender.
