Children’s Rights and corporal punishment in Sweden: A content analysis of the 1978 bill against Corporal PunishmentHelgesson, Sara January 2019 (has links)
This paper (will conduct) a content analysis on the bill put forward by the Swedish government in 1978 that advised for legislation against corporal punishment in Sweden. The analysis will use coding to discover the motives behind the bill what institutions and people that were used as instruments, and which institutions and organisations that were delegated the responsibility to uphold and protect these rights. Additionally, there will be a presentation of the history and background of children’s rights in the “western world” and in Sweden. In the case of Sweden, the social and political structures that exist as a result of the social reforms in the twentieth century will also be presented. Furthermore, social democratic, liberal, and feminist theory will be used in the study of the bill to uncover the limitations that the legislation holds on children’s rights in Sweden.

The compliance of selected schools in Swaziland with law and policy on corporal punishmentShongwe, Elmon Jabulane 12 1900 (has links)
The researcher aimed to investigate the laws and policies regulating the use of corporal punishment in Swaziland schools by benchmarking these against HRL, and to investigate the non-compliance of selected schools in the Hhohho and Manzini regions with these legal prescripts. This was done in the two participating schools in the study.
The study employed the qualitative approach, using two cases to source the information from the participants. Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect the data from the participants. The principals and their deputies were interviewed, whilst the teachers and learners responded to questionnaires.
The literature review revealed that the teachers tend not to adhere to the prescripts in respect of the abuse of corporal punishment. The literature review focusing on the Swaziland situation brought to light that the teachers go beyond the legal prescripts when administering corporal punishment.
The results indicated that in Swaziland corporal punishment is legal while, according to the Human Rights Law, it is a crime. The study indicated that teachers do not adhere to the legal prescripts on corporal punishment. Of the ten requirements for corporal punishment, the teachers complied fully with only two. It was also found that the teachers were not conversant with the legal prescripts. Some of the requirements did not seem viable to them to comply with.
The researcher recommended that the Swaziland Constitution be aligned with the Human Rights Law, and that principals monitor the abuse of corporal punishment. / Educational Leadership and Management / M. Ed. (Education Management)

Learners' experiences of school violence in a rural schoolCherrington, Avivit Miriam 13 June 2011 (has links)
The purpose of this qualitative, descriptive study was to obtain insight into how Grade 9 learners (average age of 15 years) in a secondary rural school conceptualise school violence. The study was framed by a social constructionism paradigm, focusing on the co-construction of knowledge and meanings by the researcher and participants through personal engagement. Bronfenbrenner‟s Bioecological Theory of Human Development, operationalised by the Process-Person-Context-Time Model, provided a theoretical grounding for the inquiry. An instrumental case study design was followed, whereby nine Grade 9 learners (4 boys and 5 girls) in a rural secondary school participating in an academic service learning project were conveniently selected as the unit of study. Qualitative data from a focus group and task-based activities were transcribed, whilst participant observations were documented in a research journal through photographs. Constructivist grounded theory principles guided the thematic analysis. Three primary themes emerged: Violence as behaviour; Violence as experience and Power and authority. Findings indicate that school violence was perpetuated by both peers and teachers, in physical and verbal forms. Corporal punishment continued to be a prevalent strategy for maintaining discipline and authority within the school. It was also evident in the findings that learners differentiated between acts of school violence and play-fighting according to the intentions and responses of those involved. Contradictory sentiments regarding the acceptability of school violence emerged. On the one hand participants wanted school violence to stop, describing it as hurtful. However, they also expressed views that when used by someone in authority for the purpose of discipline or protection, school violence was appropriate and acceptable. Therefore, the current study suggests that participants view school violence in a duplicitous role – used negatively to cause harm, but also positively to enforce order and protect. This study contributes to literature by providing youth-generated conceptualisations of school violence. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Educational Psychology / unrestricted

Predictors Of Parental Discipline In Families Raising Youth With Hearing And Communication DisordersKlein, Jenny 01 January 2009 (has links)
Children with disabilities are at high risk for several forms of maltreatment, including abuse and neglect (Ammerman, Hersen, Van Hasselt, Lubetsky, & Sieck, 1994; Sullivan & Knutson, 1998b), and children with hearing and communication disorders comprise a substantial portion of children at risk (e.g., Sullivan & Knutson, 2000). For example, some literature investigating the parenting practices of parents raising children and adolescents with hearing and communication disorders suggests that these parents have a tendency to use physically harsh discipline practices (Knutson, Johnson, & Sullivan, 2004; Sullivan & Knutson, 1998b). Further, high prevalence rates of emotional and behavioral problems are documented in these youth (e.g., Greenberg & Kusche, 1989; Hindley, 1997; Prizant, Audet, Burke, & Hummel, 1990). Despite these findings, a limited amount of research focuses on understanding factors related to these undesired outcomes. Therefore, this study investigates the relationships among dimensions of parents' psychological functioning and parent-child interactive processes in a culturally diverse, national sample of families raising children and adolescents with hearing and communication disorders. Results suggest that parents' stress, depression, and anxiety as well as parent-child communication and involvement are important correlates of discipline practices and subsequent child behavior in families raising children and adolescents with hearing and communication disorders. Additionally, psychological aggression and parents' depression are highly predictive factors in the use of corporal punishment. Also, psychological aggression and parenting stress are highly predictive of reported youth behavior problems. The information gained from this investigation may provide direction for assessment and therapeutic intervention with parents of children and adolescents who have hearing and communication disorders.

"Spare the Rod and Teach the Child" Exploring Alternative Approaches to Punishment in a Third Grade Jamaican ClassroomColvin, Ayris Bonet January 2011 (has links)
Corporal punishment is a common practice that has been employed in classrooms in Jamaica for many years. This practice, as it is used to manage classroom behavior, although viewed as valuable by some, presents extremely detrimental effects. This study outlines positive approaches to classroom management to provide Jamaican classrooms with alternatives to corporal punishment. This is done by investigating the effectiveness of two Applied Behavior Analysis techniques, the Good Behavior Game and Differential Reinforcement of Low Rate Response, on disruptive behavior in a third grade classroom in a rural school in Jamaica. Results from the implementation of both procedures display positive outcomes and reveal that positive approaches to classroom management are effective in improving disruptive behavior. These procedures demonstrate the effectiveness of promoting positive behavior and refrain from utilizing corporal punishment. Such strategies also motivate students, increase instructional time, are cost efficient, and can be easily implemented by teachers. / Urban Education

Osteological evidence of corporal and capital punishment in later Anglo-Saxon England.Buckberry, Jo January 2014 (has links)
No / Recent research by Andrew Reynolds has interrogated the archaeological record for evidence
of Anglo-Saxon execution cemeteries (Reynolds 2009). This paper will discuss how
osteological evidence can aid our interpretation of Anglo-Saxon capital punishment and give
insight into the type of evidence that might aid in the identification of corporal punishment
from skeletal populations. The importance of correctly interpreting skeletal trauma is
essential, but this can be supported by scrutinising the palaeodemographic profile of
execution populations, burial position, an understanding the decomposition process and the
significance of post-depositional disturbance of burials. It will lay down a framework for the
successful identification of corporal and capital p
unishments, with reference to Anglo-Saxon
documentary sources. / Full text of the author's final draft is unavailable due to copyright restrictions.

Challenging trading traditional disciplining structures in a girl's high school in Lesotho : Exploring alternative ways of doing pastoral carePokothoane, Mokhele Wilfred 06 1900 (has links)
This research concerns disciplinary practices within a school system in
Lesotho. The school that has been researched is a girl’s high school in
Maseru (the capital of Lesotho). The school belongs to the Anglican Church.
I (the researcher) am a Mosotho man and an English and Religious Studies
teacher in this school. For a while I have been concerned about the way
punishment happens in the school, often leaving girls feeling shamed and
powerless in the face of authority. I have also noticed that these disciplinary
practices are losing their effectiveness, in that girls are showing resistance to
the system. In other words corporal punishment, which has been the
traditional form of discipline, is proving ineffective in today’s world. The
researcher also considers this form of discipline abusive of power. It is in the
light of this that I worked within this system, both with pupils, as well as
teachers, to explore alternative practices that might work with pupils, that
are respectful of all parties concerned. The research is a participative action
research, using collaborative narrative practices in working with both
students and staff at the school. / Practical Theology / M. Th. (Pastoral Therapy)
