SCHOOL DISCIPLINE
AND CLASSROOM
MANAGEMENT
Introduction
School discipline has two main
goals. (1) ensure the safety of staff and
students. and (2) create an environment
conducive to learning. Serious student
misconduct involving violent or criminal
behavior defeats these goals and often
makes headlines in the process. However,
the commonest discipline problems involve
non-criminal student behavior (Moles 1989).
MEANING AND PURPOSE OF
SCHOOL DISCIPLINE
Discipline gives children a feeling of security by
telling them what they may and may not do.
By helping children to avoid frequent feelings of
guilt and shame for misbehavior— feelings that
inevitably lead to unhappiness and poor adjustment
—discipline enables children to live according to
standards approved by the social group and thus, to
win social approval.
MEANING AND PURPOSE OF
SCHOOL DISCIPLINE
Through discipline, children learn to behave in a way
that leads to praise that they interpret as indications of
love and acceptance-- essentials to successful
adjustment and happiness.
Developmentally appropriate discipline serves as an
ego-bolstering motivation, which encourages children
to accomplish what is required of them.
Discipline helps children to develop a conscience the
"internalized voice" that guides them in making their
own decisions and controlling their own behavior.
