“…This give rise to the famous saying "birds of the same feather flocks together". School attachment to key friends is viewed from functionalism perspective of cohesiveness, social identity, equilibrium and integrity to adolescent secondary school students which are developed as they functions like organism during schooling (Sato, 2018). However, a study by Williams (1987) maintained that, high risk students who dropped from school lacked social network among fellow students, while those with peer affiliation and attachment reported with high academic success at school and after schooling.…”

The purpose of this study was to develop social emotional model for coping with learning among adolescent secondary school students. Specifically the study attempted to answer the extent social emotional model is effective in improving students coping with learning. The study adapted collaborative action research design in which a total of 244 adolescent secondary school students responded to questionnaires and focus group discussion. The effectiveness of the developed social emotional model for student coping with learning was reported by students through the questionnaires. It was found that the aspects incorporated in the model improved practices in learning outcomes to both teachers and students in coping with learning. It was found that, Teachers used guidance and counseling, action oriented activities such as role play, encouraging play and exploration as the strategies to foster active engagement among adolescent secondary school students towards learning adjustment. Furthermore, the study revealed positive significant because the data in the model summary shows that the value of r=.351 indicates that one item for adolescent secondary school students coping with learning increased for about 35.1% with 77.5% standard error of the estimated predictor value. Although this study was conducted in Tanzania employing moderate sample size from which the data was gathered with the help of collaboration action research design.

“…Functionalism and system theory (FaST) facilitates the understanding of complex systems that consider whole systems as a structure of interrelated parts working together in harmony to ensure stability, resilience, continuity, balance and healthy flow of the whole (Mooney et al, 2013;Sato, 2011). Just as the various organs of the body work together to keep the entire system functioning and regulated, the various parts of the system work together to keep the whole system functioning and stable (Griffiths et al, 2015;Seiffert & Loch, 2005;Spencer, 1998;Vester, 2004).…”

“…The most important property of functional systems is that they are made up of several dynamic parts that are not isolated, but closely interlinked, forming a complex structure (Seiffert & Loch, 2005) and function as a recurrent activity of the parts in the whole as well as the contribution it makes to structural continuity (Griffiths et al, 2015;Radcliffe-Brown, 1952). Every part in a system is influenced by all the other parts and when there is a dysfunction in one part, it affects the stability and balance of the whole system, causing a disequilibrium that affects the complete system (Griffiths et al, 2015;Sato, 2011) and this requires a change in BOX 2.2 REGENERATIVE SANITATION CONCEPT (ReGenSanC)…”

African communication is an age-long dissemination system. Its continuous existence in the ever-growing Nigerian society is of interest to so many communication scholars. This study was conducted to ascertain what channels of the African communication system still exist and how these influence the religious setting in Africa using Nigeria as a case study. A survey method was adopted to investigate the problem in the two traditional kingdoms of Uzairue and Auchi, both in Edo state. A set of questionnaires were designed to elicit responses from the Christian respondents, and interviews were also conducted with chiefs of two selected traditional communities of Iyamho and Auchi. The secularization theory was used to explain the topic. The findings of this study reveal that African communication channels, particularly the talking drum, pot drum and wooden drum, are commonly used in rural settings and these have crept into the religious (Christian) settings where they are used as instruments of praise, worship and choir presentations. This study is aimed at providing useful information for the teaching of African communication systems in the departments of communication and media studies in Nigerian universities, in particular, and Africa in general. It will also help Africans appreciate the value of African communication instruments in the modern world as well as traditional African communication channels used in churches. This study recommends that further research should be conducted to ascertain why there is a decline in the use of African communication instruments.
