With rising divorce rates in Nigerian society, this research aims to examine how marital disruptions affect the academic achievements of adult learners. Key objectives include exploring the prevalence of divorce and separation, the challenges faced by learners, the impact on academic performance, and the coping mechanisms employed. The study is grounded in Bandura’s social learning theory and Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, which explain how environmental factors influence academic outcomes. A quantitative research design was adopted, with a structured questionnaire used for data collection. The target population was 300 adult learners, and a purposive sampling technique was employed to select 100 participants who had experienced divorce or separation within the last five years. Findings reveal that 70% of respondents reported significant emotional and financial challenges affecting their studies, with 65% acknowledging a decline in academic performance. A majority (75%) indicated reduced motivation and focus, while 60% mentioned difficulties balancing personal and academic responsibilities. Coping strategies such as seeking social support and engaging in stress-relief activities were utilized by 80% of respondents. The study concludes that divorce and separation have a detrimental impact on adult learners'' academic performance. It recommends that educational institutions provide tailored support, including counseling, financial aid, and flexible learning options, to mitigate the negative effects. Further research should explore gender differences and long-term impacts of marital disruptions on adult education outcomes....Preview Download Preview +Other Sociology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Knowledge and attitude of undergraduate students towards homosexuality and its implication on social adjustment (A study of Caritas university, Amorji-Nike, Emene, Enugu state) »Assessing factors responsible for community self-help projects and rural development – a study of selected communities in Ado-Odo/Ota local government area»Unemployment and involvement in crime in urban communities»A sociological snalysis of the media and crime control in Abuja Municipality FCT»The impact of social distancing and frequent handwashing in reducing the spread of coronavirus disease (covid-19) in Nigeria»Comparative study of socio-economic background of parents towards their children in relation to academic performance»Socio-cultural effect of herders attack on farmers productivity in Akure north Lga, Ondo state»Effects of malnutrition among children of lower socioeconomic status of age 0-5 years»Youth unemployment and insecurity - case study of Rivers State»The impact of child trafficking on women in Nigeria»Causes and impact of indiscipline among secondary school students»Impact of orphanage home on the child’s personality development»Female gender discrimination in work place among civil service workers in Enugu state local government area of Enugu state»Radio Biafra and civil war of 1967-1970: lessons for the contemporary media industry in south-south region»Social media effect on youth perception of police
