PSYCHO-PHILOSOPHICAL IMPLICATIONS OF CO-TERMINUS INTERACTIONS OF SCHOOL PLANT AND SCHOOL OUTCOMES IN NIGERIA

Abstract

The objective of every educational encounter is to bring about desirable changes in student’s knowledge, attitudes, and skills. To facilitate the achievement of these cogitative, affective and psychomotor outcomes, schools are provided with various facilities among other inputs. But in spite of this, Nigerian schools seem to be performing poorly in terms of realisation of these critical objectives. This poor performance is partly attributed to the unconducive learning environment prevalent in Nigerian schools. However, the quality of the school plant could affect the attainment of school objectives which in turn determines to some extent, the fate of the school plant for better or for worse. For this co-terminus interaction to be fruitful, the quality of school plant construction, utilisation and maintenance should be the focus of managerial attention.
