Full Thesis
The purpose of this research is to assess the management of discipline by educators in selected secondary schools. There are three major objectives in this study. Firstly, the study sought to examine the major causes of lack of discipline in secondary schools. Secondly, the study sought to determine the extent to which educators are affected by lack of discipline in the classrooms. Thirdly, possible strategies and alternatives to be used by educators were investigated. Data was collected from educators in different schools situated in the Lejweleputswa district of the Free State province. The study employed both the qualitative and quantitative research approaches to gain primary data and a literature review for secondary data. Mostly qualitative data was supplemented by quantitative data and a literature review. The results have revealed that many educators struggle to manage discipline in secondary schools. Part of the problem is the lack of alternative disciplinary measures to corporal punishment as a discipline tool. Educators aim to put measures in place to manage discipline, without resorting to punitive measures (such as corporal punishment). There is a need to implement developmental workshops at schools to assist educators in managing discipline. It is therefore recommended by this study that educators should not only be introduced to alternative measures of keeping discipline, but a continuous mentoring and support programme to assist educators with these alternatives should be implemented at schools.

Abstract:
The subject of art in Arizona elementary schools is often taught by general classroom teachers with no art training. In an attempt to rectify this situation, The 1986 Arizona Institute for Elementary Art Education, following the example of the Getty Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts, created Staff Development and Curriculum Implementation Programs for these teachers. This study evaluates the Curriculum Implementation Program of Year One of the Arizona Institute. Data for the study were compiled from 10 classroom observations and 23 interviews of Institute participants by two evaluators. The components of discipline-based instruction taught during Summer Staff Development were implemented by all participants. Implementation was on at least a mechanical level of use, and the evaluators' results showed interrater agreement.

Abstract:
Schools are facing challenges in their efforts to educate children appropriately and safely. Students who demonstrate inappropriate, anti-social, and/or disruptive behaviors are becoming more prevalent. School personnel are dealing with disruptive behaviors that occur more frequently and that affect staff and student safety. Additionally, the lack of discipline or management of disruptive behaviors has been identified by the public as the most persistent and possibly the most troublesome issue facing schools ( Cotton, 2001; Elam, Rose, & Gallop, 1998; Fitzsimmons, 1998; Killion, 1998). An assumption in managing problem behaviors in many urban schools is that punishment will change behavior. According to Skiba and Peterson (2000), severe and penalizing disciplinary policies frequently produce a negative school environment rather than improving student behavior. In general, urban schools across the nation rely on suspensions, loss of privileges, reprimands, and or expulsion as means of discipline. Unfortunately, these reactive consequences only help a small number of children learn to "comply with general expectations" and are insufficient for many students who exhibit more challenging behavior problems. This study examines the disciplinary practices being used in two urban middle schools to control disruptive behavior of students. It will reveal what aspects of certain disciplinary practices are viewed as helpful as well as areas needing improvement. It will also give insight into whether selected urban school principals and other stakeholders are using proactive strategies and techniques demonstrated in the research literature as being the most effective in terms of changing inappropriate behavior. Undertaking this study through the application of qualitative research methods of inquiry as a study using interviews, examining relevant documents, and observations will allow me an opportunity to explore my personal reactions to the defined disciplinary practices in the identified schools.

Abstract:

This applied dissertation presented a mixed method design to gain a broader perspective of the perceptions of classroom management practitioners within a particular school district. Many teachers, or practitioners, experience issues with classroom management because of their understanding of strategies they use. Because of the researcher’s position within the education system, it was recognized practitioners are mandated to utilize specific classroom management strategies. As such, the study was designed to glean the perceptions of these practitioners in relation to the misunderstandings and mandates related to the strategies dealt with on a daily basis.

The perspectives gleaned afforded opportunities to generate statistical data. The last question presented to the study participants allowed each participant to express his or her ideas, related to the questionnaire or otherwise, in any way they saw fit. The analysis of the study took into consideration the open response comments as they pertained to the statistical data generated.

Findings revealed the most favorable, as well as most effective, strategies as perceived by actual practitioners. Practitioners also expressed their opinions indicating their displeasure regarding mandated classroom management strategies commonly referred to as Office Referrals. Practitioners indicated they perceived revoking student privileges, placing students in time-out areas, and utilizing counseling services as more effective when choosing strategies relative to managing their classrooms.

Teachers often complain of a lack of discipline in the school environment. In addition, these breakdowns in discipline become, on occasion, media headlines when violence, bullying, vandalism and intimidation flare up into major incidents. This, coupled with the desire of the national Department of Education (DOE) to encourage teachers to use more co-operative disciplinary methods, has led to this investigation. This dissertation explores the perceptions of senior secondary pupils around school discipline, with a particular focus on collaborative rule-making. Pupil perceptions were ascertained through a structured interview process. A framework of understanding was established by examining the pupils' interpretation of the meaning of discipline; the state of discipline in their school and recommendations to address problem areas; authority; corporal punishment; power and prefectship; power and non-prefect matrics; prefect versus nonprefect views on discipline; the prefect system; the fairness of school rules; and pupil input into school rules. The understanding gleaned from the pupils' perceptions of these notions established a solid base from which an investigation into collaborative rule-making was launched. Thereafter, the notion of collaborative rule-making, the viability of collaborative rule-making, the advantages and disadvantages of collaborative rule-making and the implementation of collaborative rule-making were examined. The pupils came out strongly in support of collaborative rule-making and were keen to have an input into the school's disciplinary structures. The potential advantages far outweighed any possible disadvantages. These findings support both Bernstein's (1996) principle of pupil participation and the premise of pupil input into Codes of Conduct as detailed by the South African Schools Act (No. 84 of 1996).

Abstract:

South Africa has undergone major transformation after the election of the first democratic government in 1994. The acceptance of a humane constitution as well as equal rights for all its citizens necessitated the banning of corporal punishment in all schools under the South African Schools Act 84 of 1996. Accordingly, this change in the education policy as well as a change in society regarding equal rights for all citizens required teachers to adjust and improve their practices related to classroom management and discipline. The abolition of corporal punishment in 1996 (South African Schools Act 84 of 1996) can thus be regarded as such a changed aspect which required teachers to find alternative ways of keeping discipline in schools. It is expected from teachers to manage learning in classrooms, while at the same time practise and promote a critical, committed and ethical attitude towards the development of a sense of respect and responsibility amongst learners. It is with this in mind that one should remember that classroom locations and environments are complex as well as dynamic. Learners can now use their rights in a court of law while at the same time become more unruly, disruptive and at times even violent. Teachers on the other hand are left with limited alternative procedures or guidelines to manage unruly learners. As such, teachers now rely on their own informal learning in order to deal with such learners since alternatives to manage ill-disciplined learners are not included in formative teacher training courses. This study therefore concerns itself with the way teachers acquire classroom management skills in the absence of corporal punishment and learn how to deal with behavioural problems in order to carry on with day-to-day classroom activities. This is essentially viewed as informal learning. Because of the absence of much-needed training and support from educational authorities, teachers adjust and improve their practice, relying on hands-on experience in classrooms since they only incidentally receive opportunities to engage in ongoing formal professional development. This study explores the nature and content of informal/incidental as well as nonformal (courses not leading to formal accreditation) teachers&rsquo
learning related to managing classroom discipline in the absence of corporal punishment and investigates how skills, to manage classroom discipline, impact on the learning and teaching enterprise. A qualitative approach within the interpretive paradigm was followed throughout this study. Unstructured interviews were used to gather data which resulted in the gaining of rich detailed descriptions of participants&rsquo
responses to acquiring classroom management skills. This qualitative investigation included a literature review that explored and analysed different perspectives on the learning process. This study confirms that teachers acquire classroom management and discipline skills through workplace learning, initiated by themselves as well as collaboratively through interaction with colleagues and learners. Learning within the workplace was possible due to the opportunities they were afforded within the working context they found themselves in.

Abstract:
In the 40th Annual Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll of the Public’s Attitudes toward the Public Schools, Americans rated discipline as the second largest problem facing public education (Bushaw & Gallup, 2008). This poses a substantial problem for administrators as they strive to employ school reform policies, address public demands and meet the needs of contemporary students. A review of literature revealed a large body of research which examines disciplinary practice; however, it also showcased a literary gap regarding administrative disciplinary philosophies. This multiple case study highlights disciplinary philosophies possessed by five secondary school administrators. Analysis included utilizing the Administrator Discipline Facilitation Continuum; an adapted discipline continuum developed to analyze administrator disciplinary philosophies. The versatility of the continuum is discussed, as well as implications for its use and future development.

Abstract:
The study described in this report attempted to investigate the area of classroom discipline in the primary school. In particular the objectives were to ascertain the factors which influences teachers' knowledge of discipline procedures and the factors which influence teachers' implementation of discipline procedures. The study first examined discipline policies and practices in Australian schools generally and in Australian Capital Territory government schools in particular. A review of the literature indicated that the area of discipline in the classroom is one which seems to be increasingly important in the range of presage variables under investigation by researchers. Information was obtained from sixty completed questionnaires from primary teachers in eight primary schools. Respondents indicated that they taught over the full range of primary school years/grades. Results suggested that senior management in the schools appeared to have a relatively unimportant role in influencing classroom teachers' discipline programmes. The results indicated that the in-school influences which were perceived as the most influential on both teachers' knowledge of discipline procedures and on teachers' current discipline procedures were a) those connected with pupils and b) factors about the personal preference of teachers. The out-of-school influences which were perceived as the most influential on both teachers' knowledge of discipline and on teachers' current discipline procedures were a) those connected with professional development and b) factors about the intuitions and reactions of teachers. Results in general suggested that some primary teachers may be depending or) outdated information regarding school and classroom discipline programmes. These findings could have important ramifications for teacher training agencies regarding the allocation of resources to the area of school discipline programmes.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between teacher attitude and student failure rate, teacher attitude and teacher discipline referrals, and teacher discipline referrals and student failure rate. Twenty Atlanta Public School teachers were selected to participate in the study. Consideration for selection was made on the basis of teacher discipline referrals, exemplary classroom management, and low and high failure rate. Data were compiled for each teacher in three areas, namely, teacher attitude, the number of discipline referrals and their failure rates for one semester. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was the statistical procedure used to analyze data. The findings of this study indicated that there was no significant correlation between teacher attitude and discipline referrals; between teacher attitude and failure rate. However, the study did conclude that there was a significant positive correlation between student failure rate and discipline referrals.

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech (Public Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2004.
Corporal punishment was abolished in schools in June 1995 (Benson:1995). The suspension was sudden, and the Education Department provided very Little guidance with regard to alternative means of maintaining discipline. Teachers, who for years had the option of resorting to corporal punishment as a final means of instilling and maintaining leaner discipline, now had very little to fall back on to. An upsurge in disciplinary problems seemed to follow the suspension, and many schools struggled to maintain effective learner discipline. As with many other schools, Silverlea Primary School battled to come to grips with learner discipline in the post-corporal punishment era. Educators had little or no training in alternative methods of maintaining discipline, but still had to deal with the same, or worsening, levels of learner discipline. It is because of this perceived erosion of learner discipline that this study was undertaken. It is grounded in the belief that a positive, disciplined ~environment is essential for effective teaching and learning to happen consistently, and moves from the premise that the system of discipline and, to a large extent its effectiveness, is the creation of the staff of that school. This system, though, should operate within a supportive framework of the Department of Education. Discipline impacts strongly on the quality of education offered and received. It also affects the ability of educators to maintain consistently high standards. Although the environment from which the learners come affect their behaviour and discipline, the management of this discipline at school is dependent on the management skills and systems present at the school. Four concepts - effective discipline, curriculum, management styles, and the abolition of corporal punishment - are identified as being central to the study of discipline. They affect the running of the school, and thus the discipline adhered to at the school. This discipline in turn impacts on the educators who have to constantly be dealing with disciplinary problems rather than teaching. A descriptive research method was used

Abstract:
This micro-ethnographic study looks at the meetings between different cultures in the music classroom and how these can be characterised. It deals with what happens in the meeting between music teacher and student groups, given that the music teacher does not have so much teaching time with the students compared with teachers in other subjects. The purpose of the study was to raise awareness around the notion of leadership in the music classroom. In the study, six different music lessons in three different classrooms are analysed. Observations were recorded as field notes and sound recordings. Informal discussions with music teachers were also conducted in order to achieve as broad an empiricism as possible. The results of the study illustrate different approaches to discipline and leadership in the music classroom, how these might shape different class cultures, and the consequences that follow from this.
Denna mikroetnografiska studie handlar om möten mellan olika kulturer i musikklassrummet, samt hur dessa kan gestalta sig. Vad som sker i mötet mellan musiklärare och elevgrupper med utgångspunkt i att musikläraren inte har så mycket undervisningstid med eleverna i relation till andra skolämnen. Syftet med studien är att skapa medvetenhet kring ledarskap i musikklassrummet. Studien innefattar sex olika musiklektioner i tre olika musikklassrum. Observationer har dokumenterats genom fältanteckningar samt ljudupptagningar. Även informella samtal med undervisande musiklärare har förts för att uppnå en så bred empiri som möjligt. Studiens resultat belyser olika förhållningssätt kring ordning och ledarskap i musikklassrummet samt hur detta kan tänkas forma olika klasskulturer och vad för konsekvenser detta medför.

Abstract:
Due to the extent of disciplinary problems in South African schools today, there is a growing need among all shareholders in education to understand which factors influence learner misconduct so as to find effective disciplinary methods that can be applied in South African schools. The literature indicates 5 factors which contribute to learner misconduct, being: • socially related factors; • parent-related factors; • school-related factors; • educator-related factors; and • learner-related factors. This study follows a holistic approach in order to understand the nature of and contributing factors to learner misconduct so as to examine the relationship between the learners' and the educators' perceptions regarding: • the various forms of learner misconduct in secondary schools; • the various factors which have a negative influence on learner conduct; • the effectiveness of methods that are currently applied by secondary schools. The contribution of the above-mentioned aspects was discussed in accordance with the different factors that relate to learner misconduct. This study was conducted at 14 secondary schools in the Potchefstroom district. Learner respondents (n = 735) as well as educator respondents (n = 29) were selected to answer the same questions on learner misconduct so as to enable comparison of learners' and educators' perceptions of learner misconduct. The empirical study led to the following findings: • According to the literature as well as the empirical study, the quality of South African educators is not up to standard. • According to the study it appears that educators with more experience than the average educator do not necessarily have command of knowledge of either the new curriculum or the contemporary approach to dealing with learner misconduct. The lack of knowledge regarding the new curriculum and regarding experience may contribute to learner misconduct. • According to the responses of the participants, it seems that none of the role-players are aware of their influence on one another in terms of learner misconduct: • Parents are not aware of the negative effect of divorce on learners. • Learners are not aware of the parents' role in their behaviour in the classroom. • Educators are not aware of the learners' living environment). • Educators do not seem to realise that learners may experience stress in their daily lives. The findings reveal that educators' uncertainty regarding certain aspects promote learner misconduct, for instance their incapability to maintain discipline, regarding the curriculum and problems with the educator-learner relationship. The research has indicated that some of the critical issues with regard to dealing with learner misconduct are situated in the integration of the 5 related factors for maintaining discipline, the wide gap between the perceptions of learners and educators regarding learner misconduct, as well as the conflicting needs of learners and educators in a challenging society. Specific recommendations were made for further study in accordance with the 5 relevant factors that contribute to learner misconduct.

Linking educational theories with an empirical study, using an art related simulation-game, was the intent of this thesis. These educational theories involved retention of content matter, student motivation, simulation-gaming and art education. The importance of the project was directly related to the advantages of simulation-gaming. Research has suggested that students have been more motivated to learn, enjoy learning more and retain more content information as simulation-games have been brought into the classroom. Empirical data was collected as a simulation-game entitled "Investigation Simulation" was enacted with sixth grade students. A sequence of surveys was given to measure knowledge, enjoyment and retention. These consisted of a pre-test, a post-test and a delayed post-test. The results suggested (1) Students participating in the simulation-game were more actively involved in learning, (2) their retention of content matter was raised.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to update the analysis of the traditional viewpoints associated with increasing national and local teacher turnover rates by exploring alternative contributors to this challenge. Numerous studies have demonstrated the national focus on this topic consistently and predictably attributes to the growing attrition phenomenon primarily to financial considerations. This study considered the possibility that other more humanistic contributors, often overlooked in the literature, could be playing a more significant role in discouraging permanency in the classroom than is commonly realized. More specifically, it sought to examine the extent to which feelings tied to a positive, safe, and orderly learning environment contributed to teacher intentions to stay, and how teachers, parents and administrators perceived school efforts to ensure peaceful classrooms.

To carry out this study, the researcher collaborated with an urban inner-city school district, and obtained descriptive information from teachers, parents, and administrators all focused on their perceptions surrounding teacher attrition, classroom climate as affected by student behavior, and the possible link between concerns in both areas. The researcher analyzed inputs from members of each group and found that a large number of the teaching staff identified the classroom, and more humanistic considerations, as being of greater significance in deciding whether to stay in their position than did other participants who were more aligned with the literature. The researcher also became aware that teachers, individually, often expressed greater concern for the system as a whole, more than behaviors in their own classroom.

Finally, realizing that the target school system for this study operates within a state known by its financial struggles regarding educator’s compensation, the researcher also concluded that there is a great possibility about the staff responding to this study having already come to terms with a meager compensation, as compared to other teachers across the nation. As such, it is believed that this study brings up a solid perspective that does give heavier weight to more humanistic factors playing a greater role in teacher decisions to leave their work. However, realistically teacher priorities, be they humanistic or financial, might be different in locations where there is more dynamic activity surrounding educator compensation.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate current classroom management practices, disciplinary strategies and educator duties and demands, in the Sedibeng West District (D8) of the Gauteng Province, with the aim of recommending guidelines to assist educators to cope better with classroom management duties as well as maintaining discipline at the same time. The overall aims of the study were achieved through the following objectives: Reviewing existing literature to establish the nature of current classroom management duties. Investigating the influence of increased classroom duties on classroom management. Reviewing existing literature to establish the nature of current disciplinary measures. Investigating the influence of increased classroom duties on discipline. Making recommendations to assist educators to cope better with classroom management duties as well as maintaining discipline at the same time. The abovementioned aims were reached by completing a literature study and an empirical investigation. The study further investigated the perceptions of educators in the foundation phase (grade 2 educators and the respective Heads of Department) as well as principals regarding certain aspects of classroom management and discipline. This was investigated by means of structured questionnaires. Findings from the research indicated that refusal to obey requests and commands, noisiness, showing off, teasing, irritating or disturbing other learners, leaving their seats without permission, talking out of turn, calling out when the educator is speaking, making improper noises, not paying attention, storming out of the classroom, and knife attacks, are current types of behaviour that disturb lessons of educators (Landsberg et al., 2005:455). This makes it impossible for educators to teach properly. Learners who engage in such behaviour get no benefit from the teaching and learning situation. The attention of all the other learners is distracted and the atmosphere in the class is negatively affected. According to Landsberg et al., (2005:456) discipline is a huge part of classroom management and it is reactive in nature. Educators react to learner behaviour, which disrupts the good order of the classroom. Classroom management is proactive, it is preventative and self-control on the part of the learners is its goal. Further findings from the research indicated that educators struggle from teacher-burnout. It has also become apparent that educators are unsure of corrective disciplinary measures. Current disciplinary measures do not yield successful results. In fact, educators feel stressed and de-motivated. As a result of so many reasons for misbehaviour in classrooms, educators feel that they do not have the ability to manage the classroom. This study therefore provided recommendations to assist educators to cope better with classroom management duties in such a way that it will contribute to effective discipline in the foundation phase.

Thesis (MTech (Education))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2007
In this mini-thesis data has been collected and processed to detennine which factors inf1uence effectiv'e classroom management in the intermediate and senior phases at poor rural schools, A Comprehensive review of relevant National and International literature were conducted and farmed the basis for the construction of a questionnaire. The questionnaire was formulated to determine the extent, complexity and reality to which educators at poor rural schools are exposed to on a daily basis. External and internal factors contributing to poor classroom management were identified. External factors include home circumstances and the environment in which learners live. The lack of stimulation at home, low literacy levels of parents, the absence of good early childhood programmes and the shortage of food have a huge impact on learners performance in the classroom. Negative role models in the community and home as well as proper supervision, lead to discipline problems and unmotivated learners. Internal factors refer to the role of the teacher, the curriculum and discipline in the classroom. It is clear that educators play a central role in the provision of quality education. It is not an easy task. Working conditions are difficult and lead to weak motivation and low morale among teachers. It is impossible to implement outcomes based education in large classes. Dejected teachers try to survive by using traditional teaching and classroom approaches. There is however a big group of professional and motivated teachers. This teachers do everything to support and motivate learners. It is clear that poverty in the community is the main reason for the problems in rural schools. It is also clear that this problems need to be addressed. Long-term political solutions are needed to combat poverty. Short-term solutions might include better cooperation between the school and the community. The key to success is sustainable coaching and mentoring of teachers. The excessive emphasis on teaching and demonstration of outcomes are not beneficial for both learners and teachers. A solution to the problem is: ..... adapt the system in the child's best interest rather than the child having to adapt to the education system." Human Rights Commission (2006: 16)

Abstract:
Preservice teachers engaging in practicum experiences often express anxiety and uncertainty related to providing discipline and classroom management. This uncertainty seems to increase when the classroom environment, in which they are student teaching, functions in ways that are unfamiliar to them. For most student teachers, the Virginia Tech Child Development Lab School is an unfamiliar environment. The Lab School provides developmentally appropriate opportunities for young children based on a social constructivist, Reggio-inspired, inquiry-based philosophy. The Lab School values constructive guidance as a means of helping young children learn how to regulate their emotions, act in socially-acceptable ways, and become a caring classroom community. This study explores how preservice teachers make sense of and implement constructive guidance strategies within the Maroon Room at the Lab School. Specifically, this study explores the experiences and perceptions of eight undergraduate students who were junior child development majors focusing on early childhood education. Results indicate that although these student teachers had prior coursework in constructive guidance, many felt ill-prepared and uncertain as they entered the Maroon Room. They had difficulty seeing order within the Maroon Room, a classroom of fourteen four- and five-year old children. Through careful observation of the children, their fellow student teachers, and the Head and Supervising Teacher, the student teachers adjusted to the classroom. Regular, on-going conversations about the classroom, the children, and their own dilemmas and uncertainties also assisted in the student teachers negotiation of constructive guidance. Through developing an understanding of and relationships with the children, the student teachers were able to constructively guide the children s development, individually and as a group. Some of the student teachers remained uncertain about their ability to implement some of these strategies in an elementary school classroom. However, most of the student teachers expressed an increased value for and confidence in using the constructive guidance methods used at the Lab School. I offer suggestions for easing future student teachers transition from learning about constructive guidance theoretically to becoming skilled at using constructive guidance. I, further, offer additional ideas of how teacher educators could support student teachers negotiation of constructive guidance.

Previous research has indicated that there is a possible relationship between disproportionality in student discipline and high school dropout rate.  Using discipline and dropout data from a mid-Atlantic state school district, discipline disproportionality and dropout rate amongst high school African American, Hispanic, and Caucasian male and females over a period of four school years was examined. The findings indicated that there was indeed discipline disproportionality among African American, Hispanic, and Caucasian students.  However, the evidence indicating a relationship between disproportionality and dropping out was not conclusive.  Based on the findings, implications for educational practice are advanced.  In addition, recommendations for further research are set forth.

Abstract:
This qualitative research study explores the promotion and practice of discipline in the Foundation Phase to create a culturally responsive learning environment. For this study, Grade 3 Foundation Phase teachers were identified as the participants and formed part of each case study. The researcher constructed understanding through using an interpretivist approach and was further guided by a conceptual framework. The literature on discipline in the Foundation Phase classroom informed me about the practices and strategies used to discipline learners. The literature highlighted the use of assertive discipline and positive discipline practices in Foundation Phase classrooms. The data collection methods and data collection instruments were tested using a pilot study before the research commenced, to ensure that these worked efficiently. This helped form the foundation on which my research was based. Grade 3 teachers who participated in the study helped answer the primary and secondary research questions. The constructivist theory was used to analyse and understand the findings. The data collection instruments include observations, semi-structured interview questions, field notes and photographs. These instruments were used to collect data from every research participant. This data was then coded and transcribed to formulate an in-depth understanding of the teacher's perspective on discipline. The teachers who participated in the study helped me understand and determine what the effective discipline practices in Foundation Phase classrooms, were to enable teachers to create a culturally responsive learning environment. The research participants also explained and discussed their definition of discipline in a Foundation Phase classroom. From the study it is evident that the teacher's definition of discipline is based largely on their own moral value systems, together with positive discipline strategies. The teachers also explained the diversities they were faced with, within a Foundation Phase classroom. Teachers in the study did not identify cultural differences as a factor, but focused more on parental involvement. Lastly, the research participants highlighted the factors that challenged teachers when applying discipline in a diverse Foundation Phase classroom. These factors were summarised and divided into external and internal factors which impact on a teacher's classroom.

Abstract:
The framework of this study was monitoring classroom management strategies and student behaviors in the classroom, then providing strategies and feedback to increase effective classroom management and decrease problem student behaviors. There were 15 evidence–based practices that were researched and used in the study. Specifically teachers were asked to focus on 5 of them. These practices were: using 5 positive feedback comments to 1 negative comment; having classroom rules and expectations that were posted, taught, practiced, consistent, and positively reinforced; using an attention getting cue that had been taught, practiced and positively reinforced; having continuous active supervision including moving and scanning; and managing minor problem behaviors positively, consistently and quickly. Teachers filled out a self–assessment tool on how well they think they implemented these strategies in the classroom, and then received coaching sessions on how to use them more effectively in the classroom. These coaching sessions were given throughout the study as teachers had days where they needed positive reinforcement themselves. The results of these coaching sessions and the use of the strategies are presented in this study.

Full text
Abstract:
Exclusionary school discipline results in students being removed from classrooms as a consequence of their disruptive behavior and may lead to subsequent suspension and/or expulsion. Literature documents that nondominant students, particularly Black males, are disproportionately impacted by exclusionary discipline, to the point that researchers from a variety of critical perspectives consider exclusionary school discipline an oppressive educational practice and condition. Little or no research examines specific teacher-student social interactions within classrooms that influence teachers’ decisions to use or not use exclusionary discipline. Therefore, this study set forth the central research question: In relation to classroom interactions in alternative education settings, what accounts for teachers’ use or non-use of exclusionary discipline with students? A critical social practice theory of learning served as the framework for exploring this question, and a critical microethnographic methodology informed the data collection and analysis. Criterion sampling was used to select four classrooms in the same alternative education school with two teachers who frequently and two who rarely used exclusionary discipline. Nine stages of data collection and reconstructive data analysis were conducted. Data collection involved video recorded classroom observations, digitally recorded interviews of teachers and students discussing selected video segments, and individual teacher interviews. Reconstructive data analysis procedures involved hermeneutic inferencing of possible underlying meanings, critical discourse analysis, interactive power analysis and role analysis, thematic analysis of the interactions in each classroom, and a final comparative analysis of the four classrooms. Four predominant themes of social interaction (resistance, conformism, accommodation, and negotiation) emerged with terminology adapted from Giroux’s (2001) theory of resistance in education and Third Space theory (Gutiérrez, 2008). Four types of power (normative, coercive, interactively established contracts, and charm), based on Carspecken’s (1996) typology, were found in the interactions between teacher and students in varying degrees for different purposes. This research contributes to the knowledge base on teacher-student classroom interactions, specifically in relation to exclusionary discipline. Understanding how the themes and varying power relations influence their decisions and actions may enable teachers to reduce use of exclusionary discipline and remain focused on positive teacher-student academic interactions.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of pre-service Texas Wesleyan University teachers' knowledge and use of classroom discipline techniques. The study was conducted to obtain data utilized for the evaluation of the research questions. A non-experimental, mixed research design using survey methodology was used. Part one of the Allen Classroom and Discipline Management Instrument (ACDMI) consisted of demographic information: current position, ethnicity, level of education, gender, age, teaching certification obtained, teaching certification anticipated to be obtained, type of teacher certification training, and number of clock hours received in discipline management. The demographic information was used as independent variables for comparing responses to survey items. Part two contained discipline management techniques from Skinner, Canter, Dreikurs, Gathercoal, Glasser, Faye and Funk, Curwin and Mendler, and Berne and Harris. These techniques were used to determine mean differences with the independent variables. Finally, part three was the qualitative section which consisted of four questions requesting information about helpful discipline techniques. The sample population consisted of 150 pre-service teachers from a small liberal arts university in Texas. Findings from the study indicated that EC-4 pre-service teachers' predicted use of discipline management techniques were the ones in which they were most knowledgeable. Furthermore, EC-4 pre-service teachers reported to be most knowledgeable of the following discipline management techniques: "Student Input in Developing Classroom Rules," "Social Reinforcement and Praise," and "Direct Teach and Model Appropriate Behavior." In addition, certified EC-4 pre-service teachers had more knowledge of classroom discipline techniques than non-certified EC-4 pre-service teachers. The qualitative analysis revealed a consensus among all EC-4 pre-service teachers with regard to their training in discipline management. All EC-4 pre-service teachers indicated that their overall training was inadequate in the area of classroom discipline management and that more was needed.

Abstract:
This study was conducted to measure the effects of classroom instruction entitled Citizenship curriculum Training on high school discipline. Data for this study were collected and analyzed for fifty-eight ninth-grade students who had been referred to the principal's office three or more times the semester prior to the experimental treatment. An experimental group of twenty-nine students received citizenship curriculum instruction. The control group of twenty-nine students received only the school's traditional curriculum during second period class. Two teachers presented the citizenship curriculum training which included instructional units on beliefs, attitudes, emotions, anger, decision-making, communications, confrontation, positive attention, stress, peer pressure, authority figures, getting along in school, and the society game. Data were collected relative to grade-point average, absences, discipline referrals, and attitude toward high school as measured by the Remitters High School Attitude Scale. T-tests for correlated samples and analysis of covariance examined the effects of the Citizenship Curriculum Training on the four variables measured. The .05 level of significance was used to test the four hypotheses. The results of the study indicate that Citizenship Curriculum Training does not improve the students' gradepoint averages, absentee rate, lower the number of discipline referrals, and does not improve students' attitude as measured by the Remitters High School Attitude Scale. It is recommended that similar studies be conducted to address the problems of grade-point average, number of discipline referrals to the office, high absentee rate, and attitudes toward high school by teaching discipline students in small classes with a curriculum that aims at improving these specific problems. Future studies should collect the posttest data the first grading period following the experimental treatment to test for immediate results.

Abstract:
The study analysed the management of disciplinary approaches to classroom management in selected Northern Areas schools in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The South African education system has historically promoted corporal punishment as a means of maintaining discipline. As a result corporal punishment was an integral part of schooling for most educators and learners in twentieth century South African schools (Morrel, 2001b:292). Since 1994, however, the South African government has implemented principles of equity, redress and social empowerment in broader society and education. Consequently, corporal punishment was banned in schools and new methods of managing discipline were introduced. The study followed a qualitative investigation, which is explorative, descriptive and contextual, using interviews with educators and questionnaires with learners to collect data at selected schools. The study’s aim was to investigate and explore the perceptions and experiences of learners and educators regarding discipline and to make recommendations regarding proactive, positive disciplinary approaches so as to guide educators to facilitate learners towards self-discipline. However, it was discovered that educators were unable to facilitate self-discipline or guide learners as they themselves had not learnt to practise and demonstrate the values and principles of self-discipline. This study thus has as its intention to challenge educators to review and refocus their ways, motives and expected outcomes as they demonstrate and exercise discipline.

Abstract:
The present study examines the strategies teachers use to keep order and discipline in the classroom. For this reason, a survey has been done to two groups of eighth grade in Managua, Nicaragua and one in Karlstad, Sweden as well as an interview to their teachers. Totally seven teachers from both countries were interviewed. One conclusion from this study is that strategies used by teachers usually do not correspond to what students ask, who require an active presence of teachers when disorder happens in the classroom. Other than that, teachers many times decide to remain quiet to call the groups attention. This contrast arises due to the different expectations and roles that both teachers and students have about setting up discipline in the classroom. In the other hand, the stress on students is an important fact in the group discipline since most of them decide to talk about other issues away from the lesson among themselves. According to the interviews, another factor that affects harmony in the classroom is the amount of students, schedule and lesson plan among others. This way, one difference between teachers ́ perception on students discipline and their grades was noticeable. Teachers from Sweden stated that there is a relation, since undisciplined students had bad grades. Otherwise, the ones from Nicaragua mentioned that misbehavior or indiscipline were not directly related to grades. On the contrary, often indisciplined students had good grades.
El presente trabajo estudia las estrategias que utilizan los profesores para mantener el orden y la disciplina en el aula de clase. También analiza algunos factores que influyen en la disciplina del salón de clase. Para ello se ha elaborado encuestas a dos grupos octavos, uno en Managua, Nicaragua y el otro en Karlstad, Suecia. También hemos entrevistado a sus respectivas profesoras. En total se entrevistaron a siete profesores en ambos países. Una conclusión de este estudio es que las estrategias utilizadas por los profesores muchas veces no corresponden con las que piden los estudiantes, quienes requieren una presencia activa del profesor o profesora cuando surge el desorden en salón de clase. Por su parte, los profesores, muchas veces optan por callar y así llamar su atención. Este contraste se debe a las diferentes perspectivas y papeles que tanto profesores como alumnos tienen sobre cómo establecer el orden en el aula de clase. Por otro lado, el estrés en los alumnos es un factor importante en la disciplina del grupo pues la mayoría de los estudiantes al sentirse estresados optan por hablar entre sí sobre temas ajenos a la lección. Según los entrevistados, otro factor que afecta la armonía en el aula es la cantidad de alumnos, el horario, el plan de clase, entre otros. También se observó una diferencia en cuanto a las apreciaciones de los profesores respecto a la relación entre la disciplina de los alumnos y sus calificaciones. Los profesores de Suecia apuntaron que sí existía una relación, puesto que los alumnos indisciplinados tenían malas calificaciones. Mientras que en Nicaragua los profesores señalaron que el mal comportamiento o indisciplina no tenía una relación directa con las calificaciones. Por el contrario, en muchos casos los estudiantes indisciplinados tenían buenas calificaciones.

Abstract:
School staff was concerned that disruptive student behaviors at an urban, middle school in central Ohio had continued even with positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) implementation and professional development (PD) for more than 4 years. The purpose of this study was to explore teachers' perspectives of school training on the implementation of the PBIS system. Skinner's reinforcement theory and Bandura's social learning theory served as the conceptual frameworks for this study. Specifically, this study explored the training of teachers using the PBIS framework in diminishing students' negative behaviors. This study used triangulated data from interviews, observations, and document analysis. Of the 13 study participants, 7 participated in both interviews and observations. The remaining 6 participants were split evenly with 3 participating in the interviews and 3 in the observations for a total of 10 participants in each data source. The findings revealed the following: PBIS was not given full administrative support; PBIS did not have full funding for an effective implementation, and embedded continuous professional development was added to the PBIS program for all staff. Based on 1 of the findings, quarterly professional development programs led by the school leader were developed to address the inconsistent implementation of PBIS and the ongoing professional development that was needed. Effectively implementing PBIS should increase positive behaviors of students. As such, there are implications for social change in the quality of the school environment; change in school rating that results in more attractive neighborhoods; and increase academic achievement due to more instructional time on task.
