Abstract
The introduction of western education in the various communities of Nigeria indirectly means the introduction of western culture into a Muslim society. The consequences of western theoretical constructs indirectly affected the consciousness of Islamic moral values of the Muslim adolescent students which made it an issue of public concern. To protect the Muslim youths from western cultural influence, the Muslim communities established schools where Islamic ethics are the focal points. This is to circumvent the gap made by the western theoretical constructs that only covered the extrinsic, intrinsic and biological spheres of human life. But the area of spirituality is left out. Thus, the focus of this research is to find out the extent to which the Muslim schools have achieved the aims of their establishment. In this process, an Islamic paradigm of moral values development is offered. Fifteen hypotheses were postulated. The main
hypothesis is: there is no significant difference in the mean scores on Islamic moral values among adolescent students due to schools (Muslim and Government), tribes (Hausa and Yoruba) and environments (Sokoto and Lagos). A sample of 600 adolescent students in twelve Muslim and Government schools in Lagos and Sokoto states were employed. An instrument of twenty items based on the proposed Islamic model was developed and used to measure the adolescent students' consciousness of Islamic moral values. The data was collected and analysed via a three-Way ANOVA and t-tests computations at 0.05 level of significance.
