Week 1 / What Is Discipline?

 Discipline: systematic way of providing an environment in which positive teaching and


positive learning can occur simultaneously.
 Discipline is concerned with helping children learn how to take care of themselves, other
people, and the world around them.
 To be successful in the classroom,
o teachers need a well-planned, individual approach to discipline.
o they must understand various theories of discipline and the assumptions on which they
are based,
o they must understand their own values and educational philosophy,
 They must make an approach to discipline that is in harmony with their beliefs. If you believe
in something and do something else, you will experience personal conflict and you will also
confuse your students.
 Discipline requires knowledge, skill, sensitivity, and self-confidence. It is one that you will
acquire through training and experience, and it becomes easier with practice.
 Discipline is one dimension of classroom management. Classroom management is an umbrella
term.
 Classroom management includes various decisions such as the student’s seating plan, planning
of classroom activities as time and content, organizing of materials and encouraging of each
student’s active participation.
 Misbehavior is any behavior that, through intent or thoughtlessness.
o Interferes with teaching or learning,
o Threatens or intimidates others,
o Oversteps society’s standards of moral, ethical, or legal behavior.

Why Do Children Misbehave?

 Children misbehave because they are children. They lack adult perspective and respond
emotionally or impulsively to situations.
 They misbehave to get attention, to test authority, to fit an image.
 They misbehave because they lack knowledge and experience, they feel rejected or upset, they
feel unloved, or they feel bored or unchallenged.
 There are many discipline models and systems available for the teacher to deal with
misbehaving children. Teachers can use three discipline philosophies (“faces”) while
handling misbehaviors of the students;
o Relationship-Listening,
o Confronting-Contracting, and
o Rules and Consequences

Relationship-Listening

 Relationship-Listening is a therapeutic process which is grounded in humanistic thinking.


 The teacher believes that the student has the capability to change his own behavior, he is the
master of his destiny, and uses minimum power.
 She thinks that if she makes the student aware of his actions and gets him to talk out his
emotional concern, the student will stop misbehaving.
 The teacher’s role is to provide the misbehaving student with a supportive, facilitating
environment and establish a nonjudgmental relationship.

Confronting-Contracting,

 Confronting-Contracting is an educational and counseling process which is grounded in social


and developmental psychological theories.
 The teacher believes that she must confront the misbehaving student to stop his behavior.
 She gives the student the power to decide how he will change his behavior and encourages the
student to make a contract for behavioral change. Mutually acceptable solutions to conflicts
are formulated.

Rules and Consequences

 Rules and Consequences is a controlling process which is grounded in experimental behaviorist


psychologies.
 The teacher uses maximum power in the class. She identifies the classroom rules and the
behaviors she wants. She teaches these rules to the students and rewards positive behaviors
acquired by the student.
