OutcomesofPositiveDisciplineonStudentBehavior

Abstract

This paper presents the findings of a mixed methods study on the outcomes of positive
discipline on student behavior. The research participants were 310 students who were
selected based on a stratified random sampling and three teacher key informants selected
based on purposive sampling from the lower, middle, and higher secondary schools. Data
were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Findings of the study revealed
that positive discipline practices are perceived to be a substantial tool to build students'
behavior. The study is significant in providing information to students, teachers, educational
leaders, and parents to boost positive discipline practices at schools and homes
