dc.description.abstract | This study examined the effects of disciplinary measures on pupils' academic performance in
Kira Town Council primary schools, Uganda. Specifically, the study sought; to establish the
effect of negative discipline and positive discipline on the academic performance of pupils.
The study was a cross-sectional survey that also adopted a case study approach. Both
quantitative and qualitative research approaches were employed to observe a sample of 257
respondents using Questionnaires and an interview guide. Quantitative data was analyzed using
Pearson correlation coefficient and qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis and
thematic analysis techniques.
The study found out that there is no positive significant relationship between negative
disciplinary measures and pupils’ academic performance while a moderate positive significant
relationship existed between positive disciplinary measures and pupils’ academic performance.
The study recommended massive sensitization and awareness among the various stakeholders on
the effects of continuous use of negative discipline and instead embrace positive disciplinary
measures since they have positive effect on the pupils’ academic performance. It was further
recommended that government takes up stern measures on teachers who continuously use
negative disciplinary measures. | en_US |
