Over the past decade the teaching environment in South Africa has
changed drastically. One of the thorny issues facing the current
education dispensation is that of learner discipline. Traditional
views and disciplinary methods have had to give way for the
Constitution's Bill of Rights. In light of this, the Faculty of
Education Sciences at North-West University launched a research
project on learner discipline and found that where before the
emphasis was on reward and punishment, aspects such as
co-ownership, mutual respect and co-responsibility are now key to
the creation of a learning environment characterised by order and
discipline. A practical guide to discipline in schools introduces
some of the information gained from this study in the form of a
practical manual and explores creative ways to transform impending
chaos in the classroom into opportunities. It discusses the
formulation of an equitable, fair and reasonable code of conduct
and outlines the correct procedure to be followed for disciplinary
hearings. A practical guide to discipline in schools is for
educators and prospective educators, and aims to promote security
in education practice through an orderly teaching-learning climate.
