| dc.description.abstract | This paper focuses on positive physical activities and positive recreational problem as panacea to curtail conflicts and cultism in Nigeria institutions. The vices that stigmatized institutions of learning in Nigeria today are traceable to the uncontrolled behavior of students. School authorities and concerned government over the years have applied measures to check the excesses of students in Nigeria institutions of higher learning without noticeable success. Positive Physical Activities (PPA) and Positive Recreational Program (PRP) otherwise known as sports and games stand to provide the needed solution to these lingering problems of conflicts and Cultism in school. Sports are perceived as wholesome pursuits for students in schools as it channels their thinking and disposition toward worthwhile goals. Similarly, Sports provide students the opportunity to cultivate sportsmanship qualities, which are necessary for school discipline. This paper focused on the educational values of PPA and PRP that includes self discipline, self control, obedience, Respect and co-operation with constituted authorities among others. At the same time, sports provide students with safety values of letting off excessive energies, which ordinarily could have been mischievously channeled towards acts that are opposed to school discipline. Finally, recommendations were made on how participation in sports by students could help solve conflict and problems of cultism. | |
