Question 2 (Unit 5): Narrative Research Approach
a) Explanation of the issue of discipline in education (200 words)
Discipline is a critical component of effective education, as it fosters a
conducive environment for teaching and learning. However, many
schools face challenges with discipline, which can manifest in various
ways, such as truancy, vandalism, bullying, and lack of respect for
authority. These issues often arise from broader societal factors such as
poverty, family instability, and exposure to violence. In schools
characterized by a lack of discipline, the learning process is disrupted,
teachers face increased stress, and learners are deprived of a structured
environment that promotes academic and personal growth. The absence
of discipline negatively affects the morale of both teachers and students,
leading to reduced engagement and achievement. To address this, it is
crucial to understand the lived experiences and perspectives of those
directly impacted by these challenges. Teachers and learners hold
valuable insights into the underlying causes of discipline issues and
potential solutions. By adopting a research approach that prioritizes their
voices, such as narrative research, educational stakeholders can identify
effective strategies to restore order, enhance relationships, and create a
positive school culture.
