Title: Understanding Learner Perceptions of School Discipline through Survey
Research
1. Issue of Discipline in Schools - Context and Experiences (200 words):
The issue of discipline in schools is a critical aspect that significantly impacts
the learning environment and the overall development of learners. In my
context, as an educator in a diverse urban school, I have witnessed various
challenges related to discipline. These challenges include disruptive
behavior, truancy, and instances of bullying. These issues not only affect the
disruptive students but also create an adverse impact on the entire
classroom, hindering the learning process for others.
Moreover, I have observed that traditional disciplinary methods such as
punitive measures may not always be effective in addressing the root causes
of misbehavior. As such, understanding learners' opinions on school
discipline becomes crucial in formulating more effective and student-centric
disciplinary approaches.
2. Survey Research - Information Generation and Sampling (700 words):
Survey research is a quantitative research method used to gather data and
analyze it statistically to draw conclusions about a specific population's
opinions or behaviors. In the context of studying learners' opinions on school
discipline, a survey allows us to collect standardized data from a
representative sample of students, providing valuable insights into their
perceptions and attitudes.
Data Generation: The data in a survey research project is generated through
a structured questionnaire. In this case, the questionnaire will include a
series of Likert scale questions to measure the degree of agreement or
disagreement with specific statements related to school discipline. These
questions will be designed to gauge learners' attitudes towards existing
