, Question 1 You intend to use a survey research project to establish the
opinions of learners about school discipline. Include the following in your
essay: • A brief account of the issue of discipline in schools, including your
own context and experiences. (200 words) • An explanation of survey
research including a discussion of information (data) generation and sampling.
(700 words) • Formulation of a problem statement (100 words) • A Likert scale
with five questions and five possible answers. The questions need to establish
learner perceptions of discipline in the school. (100 words) • Critically reflect
on the insights you hope to gain in this project, and on the value of survey
research. (200 words)
Discipline in schools is a critical issue impacting the learning environment and overall student
development. In many educational settings, maintaining discipline is a significant challenge for
educators and administrators. It involves managing student behavior to create a safe and
conducive learning atmosphere. The lack of discipline can lead to disruptions, affecting not only
the students involved but also their peers and teachers. My own experience in school reflects a
range of disciplinary issues, from minor infractions like tardiness and talking out of turn to more
severe behaviors like bullying and defiance. Effective discipline strategies often include a
combination of rules, consequences, and positive reinforcement, but finding the right balance can
be difficult. In my context, I've observed that schools with clear, consistently enforced rules and
supportive environments tend to manage discipline more effectively. Furthermore, student
involvement in creating and understanding these rules often results in better compliance and a
sense of community responsibility.
Explanation of Survey Research
Survey research is a quantitative method used to gather data from a predefined group of
respondents to gain insights into various topics of interest. It is widely used in educational
research to understand opinions, behaviors, and characteristics of a specific population. In this
context, survey research will help us establish the opinions of learners about school discipline.
Data Generation: Data in survey research are generated through structured questionnaires,
which can be administered in various formats, such as online surveys, paper-based surveys, or
interviews. The key to effective data generation is designing questions that are clear, unbiased,
and capable of capturing the necessary information. Closed-ended questions, such as multiple-
choice or Likert scale questions, are often used to obtain quantifiable data, while open-ended
questions can provide deeper insights into respondents' thoughts and experiences.
Sampling: Sampling is the process of selecting a subset of individuals from a larger population
to participate in the survey. The goal is to ensure that the sample accurately represents the
population, allowing for generalization of the findings. There are several sampling techniques,
including:
