Abstract

This study sought to objectively investigate the factors currently militating against research in higher institutions, located within Ogun-State, the South West region of Nigeria, with a proposition of holistic type of education as a possible sustainable panacea. The study employed a quantitative descriptive survey research design. With the use of simple random sampling, the participants of study were selected from the existing population of study comprising the faculty members and the current post graduates students of a private and public higher institution in Ogun State. A well-structured 5-likette scale questionnaire, in relation to human, systemic, cultural, psychosocial, ethical and militating factors, was used in collecting the participantsâ€™ opinions of variables of study. The data collected was analysed using both descriptive and inferential (one-way ANOVA) statistical tools via SPSS computation. The result of the analysis revealed no significant militating effect of human, cultural, systemic and ethical factors on research in the 21st Century. However, there was a significant militating effect of psychosocial factor with 0.022 score at P<0. 05 significant level. Conclusively, psychosocial factor was identified as the current militating force against research. Hence the ethical principle of holistic education was recommended as viable and lasting solution to the existing militating factor.In addition,further study onother prospects and obstacles of research using other factors such as health and family life militating factors could also be considered.
