LITERATURE REVIEW

 INTRODUCTION

Our focus in this chapter is to critically examine relevant literature that would assist in explaining the research problem and furthermore recognize the efforts of scholars who had previously contributed immensely to similar research. The chapter intends to deepen the understanding of the study and close the perceived gaps.

 Introduction

Student’s movement as the largest pressure group had played a role bringing down President Suharto’s government. The students’ movement in Thailand, Filipina, Cuba, Southern Korea, Europe and America too have an impact on the social well-being and security (Mohd Fuad et al., 2009). However the important in this matter is their radical actions and behavior that show anti establishment. This confrontation between government side and student however never subside from time to time. This situation continues until today where students’ has been placed under the University and University College Act (AUKU). Malaysia also had experienced campus political phenomenon and it started in 1960’sand early 1970’s, with the occurrence of students’ demonstrations. It was at the end of 1990’s, a worst riot broke out which threatened national security. Some of student involved together with lecturer or individually in political campaign, became members of opposition party, fight against government policy and joined in street demonstration (Mohd Fuad et al., 2005; Muhammad, 1973). Thus political issue became a topic of discussion among student in campus and their activity always get the attention of the university administration and the government. Students’ political participation became an important issue because it raises certain implications on present political influence, from government perspective or opposition party (Mustaffa, 1991). Some of the event and political scene in young generation is includes certain challenges that they need to face, some of that are rhetorically as opportunity for them to build interest and competency politicking which contains a particular vision and political mission (Razaq, 2005). Student movement has expanded and has get the support of the opposition parties (Hussain, 1997). This situation affected the government position and university management (Azizan, 1995). Consequently the Malaysian government introduced a University and University College Act in 1971 to take control student movement in campus and country and it is well received by student (Altbach, 1968). However this act has change undergraduate political behavior and activity in the campus only and less sensitive on social issues and political (Azizan, 1995). Young generation has influenced by materialistic elements and poor in appreciation to good values. This is an attack on our society’s socio cultural destruction not just happen in community in fact it also spread among student that regarded as a future leadership, religion, and country (Muhammad, 1973). Students are active in co-curriculum and they concern about campus life and society problems but voting turnout for campuses election is less from 50 percent, except in several universities which has made rule that their marks will be deducted if they are not voting. In Australia, participation in school elections serves as a beneficial experience in the preparation of students for life as an active adult citizen (Mohd Fuad et al., 2005; Ramírez, L.G. et al., 2010; Ruitenberg, 2010). Students in power roles reported a greater understanding of and appreciation for the legislative process and found the simulation to be a more worthwhile experience than did students in non-power roles (Saha & Print, 2010). Student activism has made an important contribution to the struggle for democracy in Zimbabwe. In the first years of independence students were among the most fearsome defenders of the regime (Baranowski & Weir, 2010). All facets of personality captured by the Big Five framework matter for citizen politics, and that personality effects operate on virtually all aspects of political behavior (Zeilig, 2008).

Green and Full (1975) defines research methodology as the specification of procedures for collecting and analyzing the data necessary to solve the problem at hand such that the differences between the cost of obtaining various levels of accuracy and the expected value of the information associated with each level of accuracy is optimized. Thus, in this chapter the method and techniques of data collection and analysis for this study are discussed in details, research design, population of study, sample and sampling technique, sources of data collection, research instrument, validity of the instrument, reliability of the instrument, procedure for administration of research instrument, as well as the limitation of the research methodology. This will be important in order to assess the impact of political science education on political behavior of political science education student in Delta State.
