Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Student misbehavior is a problem affecting schools across the nation and around the world. It is a big problem that needs to be solved or lessened. The primary goal of this study was to explore the disruptive behaviors and the interventions, suggestions, and recommendations teachers made to address them. The study intended to generate a list of categories of students' problematic behaviors, to identify common misbehaviors and the most disruptive to teaching and learning. I strongly believe that the misbehavior of students really affects students learning.
