Master Teachers Perceptions of Effective Discipline Practices in Dacanlao G. Agoncillo National High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Student discipline is still one of the major challenges that most of the teachers face during the teaching and learning process in which a teacher is considered to be a good facilitator of learning. He/She is able to manage the class effectively, especially the students who show disruptive behavior. That is the reason why the researcher was motivated to conduct this study to be able to find out how to cope with strategies in classroom management as perceived by master teachers in Dacanlao G. Agoncillo National High School.

METHODS

The qualitative method was used by the researcher to be able to determine the participants' perceptions. The researcher used purposive sampling in gathering data using the self-devised instrument for interview. The participants were the five (5) master teachers of Dacanlao Gregorio Agoncillo National High School.

RESULTS

This part presents, analyzes, and interprets all the data gathered from the respondents of Dacanlao Gregorio Agoncillo National High School about student-disciplined practices. The researcher used the qualitative method that categorizes the responses of the participants. It was revealed that in terms of view regarding current discipline practices, the frequent answer is "Students listened when they are disciplined by their teachers". In terms of current disciplinary action implemented by the school, it was revealed that the most appropriate is the "Implementation of Project MTs in reducing waste inside the school. It was supported by the response of MT5, "Students still accept advice from their teachers". Consequently, when it comes to the effectiveness of disciplinary actions, there must be "The appropriateness of applying disciplinary actions among the learners". On the other hand, in terms of barriers to effective discipline practices, the recurrent theme is "Poor parents' involvement in disciplining their child". It was revealed that the first violator of the rule is "Students with problems at home" and the best way to address the issue in implementing disciplinary actions is through "Discuss that during parents-teacher assembly".

DISCUSSIONS

MT2 suggested that the administration should address the issue when the school has the PTA meeting. The school rules and regulations should be printed to be given to the parents and to ask them to affix their signature as an approval and proof that they are aware of the rules and regulations that the school will implement.
