This study is concerned with how two schools in the Khomas Region manage learners' discipline. In particular, it seeks to determine why the two schools experience different states of discipline despite the fact that they have learners from similar social backgrounds. The study uses a case study approach. The qualitative methods comprise on-site observations, semi-structured interviews and a review of disciplinary and other policy documents. Interviews were done with the School Boards, the two principals, heads of department, teachers, Learners' Representative Council and learners. The study draws its conceptual framework from seven factors that are believed to influence school discipline: strategy, structures and procedures, school identity and purpose, school resources, parents and community involvement, leadership and management, and school culture. The study revealed that the two schools have many disciplinary practices in common. However, active teamwork, which falls under the school culture factor, and leadership and management were more pronounced in School B than in School A. Compared with School A, School B was characterized by fairly good discipline, and the study consequently attributed these factors, teamwork, leadership and management as the major cause of different levels of discipline in these two schools. It also emerged in the study that School B has a better academic performance in comparison with School A, which suggests that there is a positive relationship between academic performance and discipline. 2014-11-10T08:55:54Z 2014-11-10T08:55:54Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MEd http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9477 eng application/pdf Centre for Educational Research Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
