The researcher intended to establish the types of student disciplinary problems in
Gaborone Community Junior Secondary Schools as well as ways of combating these
problems.
The opening chapter states the problem, purpose of study and also provides
background to the problem. Data was collected from teachers and the students using
questionnaires. All in all sixty (60) subjects were used to collect data. The other
chapter that has substantially enriched the project is chapter two. The third chapter
explains the methodology used in this research study. Chapter four is about data
presentation, analysis and interpretation and lastly the recommendations, which close
this study, arc provided to help the authorities.
The research shows that theft is a major student disciplinary problem in Community
Junior Secondary Schools. The other disciplinary problems arc destruction of school
property, disrespect to teachers, disruption of classes, drug abuse, insults, refusal to
take instructions and truancy. These problems result in low academic performance,
disruption of school programme, juvenile delinquency and limited or no future for
these teenagers. The research shows that the major cause of these problems is peer
pressure. The other factors that contribute to the disciplinary problems are poor
administrative policies, lack of teachers' commitment to their work, media influence
and collapse of extended family structure. / (M. Ed.) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2006
