Behaviour problems are a problem in many secondary schools in Zimbabwe. This study
attempts to investigate the causes and manifestations of behaviour problems of adolescent
learners and to develop guidelines for teachers on how to assist learners with behaviour
problems in the classroom. This is a qualitative study using focus group and semi-structured
interviews. The main findings contributing to the causes of behaviour problems among
adolescent learners are environmental factors, such as the family and the school and peer
pressure. Behaviour problems are manifested by adolescents as disruptive behaviour, aggressive
and antisocial behaviour, telling lies and theft. The findings highlight important guidelines,
which teachers can use to assist and understand learners with behaviour problems in the
classroom. The guidelines present an endeavour to solve problem behaviour in the classroom. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Special Needs Education)
