Guiding Misbehavior among Grade Two Pupils of Wawa Elementary School through a Gmrc intervention Material

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The researcher observed that there had been a complete struggle on the part of the teacher when it came to classroom management. Teachers were forced to deal with disruptive behavior in the classrooms that consequently took away most of their teaching time. Thus, children needed guidance and, with Character Education, they were introduced to concepts such as moral, respect and integrity.

METHODS

This study aimed to investigate the misbehavior among Grade Two pupils of Wawa Elementary School and eventually check these misbehaviors through a GMRC Intervention Material. It aimed to determine the disruptive behavior manifestations observed among Grade Two pupils of Wawa Elementary School.

RESULTS

Results showed that the disruptive behavior manifestations observed in Grade Two pupils of Wawa Elementary School were hyperactivity, yelling, talking out of turn, frequent going to the comfort room and eating whilethe discussion is on-going. Chair-hopping, quarreling with classmates and absenteeism were also rampant.

DISCUSSIONS

According to the teachers, Character Education plays a vital role in the positive discipline of the pupils. Thoughts and beliefs are being harnessed to become good citizens of the country. It should be given emphasis that, through efficient doings of the teacher can be taught using exemplifications and role playing. Books, although crudely done, were original ideas of the researcher. Finally, it was recommended that the GMRC Intervention materials be used for Grade II pupils.
