Abstract

This study is on perceived barriers to talent identification among undergraduates in the University of Ibadan. The total population for the study is 200 staff of university of Ibadan. The researcher used questionnaires as the instrument for the data collection. Descriptive Survey research design was adopted for this study. A total of 133 respondents made heads of department, senior lecturers, junior lecturers and graduate assistants were used for the study. The data collected were presented in tables and analyzed using simple percentages and frequencies

 

 

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

  • Background of the study

 

Talent identification (TI) is big business. From sports, through art, to education, researchers in all domains are attempting to find a way to identify the best in their field. However, finding the most effective, and most efficient TI method is a complex task, which despite its apparently recent ‘rise’ to prominence, has been a concern for quite a while. In the late 1960s and early 1970s many East European countries realized the weakness of the traditional TI programmes, and attempted to develop methods of identification which could be underpinned with scientific theory and evidence (Bompa, 1999). The results were (apparently) astounding; for example, eighty percent of Bulgarian medallists in the 1976 Olympic Games were the result of a thorough TI process. Similar results were demonstrated by Romanian and East German athletes in the 1972, 1976 and 1980 Olympics; successes again believed to be due to their scientific selection processes adopted in the late 1960s (Bompa, 1994). In other domains, such as dance (Baum, Owen and Oreck, 1996), art (Clark and Zimmerman, 1984), and education (Rimm, 1982, 1984) it also has become apparent that potential talent often is overlooked due to poor methods of identification. Traditional TI procedures have been categorised by many authors as ‘natural selection’ (e.g. Bompa, 1994, 1999), and in this setting, identification usually was aimed at individuals already in a sport. Of course, this sport involvement may have resulted purely from peer or parental pressure, proximity of facilities, or of the sport’s popularity in that geographical area, and it would be coincidental for an individual who chooses a sport in this way to excel. For the majority therefore, who had not ‘happened upon’ their perfect match, performance evolution in the activity would be slow, as training would have to enable them to overcome innate deficiencies.

The current educational reality can be considered a barrier to the development of talent at school. Stoltz (2016) explains that coexist initiatives for a resistance state in reductionist way of understanding the educational phenomenon, but fall into another extreme: the practice by practice. The author points out that often the educational process is limited to what the student already knows and dominates, hindering him/her even from realizing the role of the school and its importance. This situation represents something very corrosive to the students with high abilities/giftedness. Stoltz (2016) points out that the indices of absences and school escape are a consequence. Both the emphasis on early intellectuality and practice by practice are reductionist ways of understanding education and contribute to the current state of losing sight of what is important in education. Emphasis on early intellectuality can hinder individuals to use their talents.

  • STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

In the school context, there are barriers that can hinder the gifted talent to be identified. During the process of learning there is a lack of reflection about knowledge that still remains in many students, there is resistance about differences and diversity of students, there is an absence of challenges and activities that promote the development of talent, there is a lack of recognition by education professionals in relation the high abilities of their students, among other issues that can mean the hindrance of identification of gifted talents

  • OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objectives of the study are;

  1. To ascertain the relationship between academic activities and talents identification among undergraduate in university of Ibadan
  2. To ascertain the barriers to talent identification among undergraduates in university of Ibadan
  3. To ascertain the important of talent identification among undergraduates
    • RESEARCH HYPOTHESES

For the successful completion of the study, the following research hypotheses were formulated by the researcher;

H0:   there is no relationship between academic activities and talents identification among undergraduate in university of Ibadan

H1: there is relationship between academic activities and talents identification among undergraduate in university of Ibadan

H02:  there are no barriers to talent identification among undergraduates in university of Ibadan

H2:  there are barriers to talent identification among undergraduates in university of Ibadan

1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

 The study will be very significant to students and ministry of education. The study will give a clear insight on the perceived barriers to talent identification among undergraduates in the university of Ibadan. The study will also serve as a reference to other researchers that will embark on the related topic

  • SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study covers perceived barriers to talent identification among undergraduates in the university of Ibadan. The researcher encounters some constrain which limited the scope of the study;

  1. a) AVAILABILITY OF RESEARCH MATERIAL: The research material available to the researcher is insufficient, thereby limiting the study
  2. b) TIME: The time frame allocated to the study does not enhance wider coverage as the researcher has to combine other academic activities and examinations with the study.

1.7 DEFINITION OF TERMS

BARRIER: a fence or other obstacle that prevents movement or access

TALENT IDENTIFICATION: Talent identification is the process of recognising current players that have the potential to excel within football (Vaeyens, Lenoir, Williams, & Philippaerts, 2008), while talent selection is the acceptance of individuals into representative teams and development programmes

UNDERGRADUATE: Undergraduate education is education conducted after secondary education and prior to post-graduate education. It typically includes all the academic programs up to the level of a bachelor’s degree.

1.8 ORGANIZATION OF THE STUDY

This research work is organized in five chapters, for easy understanding, as follows

Chapter one is concern with the introduction, which consist of the (overview, of the study), historical background, statement of problem, objectives of the study, research hypotheses, significance of the study, scope and limitation of the study, definition of terms and historical background of the study. Chapter two highlights the theoretical framework on which the study is based, thus the review of related literature. Chapter three deals on the research design and methodology adopted in the study.
