INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study is to identify the current discipline problems encountered by teachers in school, its causes and the type of discipline that teachers use in dealing with the said problems.
METHODS
A descriptive method of research was utilized in this study. Moreover, questionnaires and informal interviews were used to gather the necessary data. A total of 30 teachers and 30 students participated in this study.
RESULTS
The data gathered revealed that absenteeism was the number one discipline problem encountered by teachers in school. This also showed that teachers often utilized positive discipline rather than negative discipline in dealing with disciplinary problems. In addition, the student respondents revealed that the influence of friends/peers/classmates is one of the major causes of discipline problems.
DISCUSSIONS
This study was limited to the utilization of the researcher-made questionnaire, informal interview and to answers provided by the respondents as sources of data and other information regarding the variables investigated.
This study was significant because if the discipline problems in school were minimized, intervention programs and projects, which aim to improve the quality of education the school is offering, would have greater chances to succeed.
