Parenting Style and Classroom Discipline Techniques towards Pupil's Behavior on Selected Grade 6 Pupils of Paciano Rizal Elementary

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Growing up in a rapidly changing world is a great challenge for both the parents and child. Rearing them painstakingly will help them face and combat squarely whatever problems cross their way. Parents play a mammoth role in their children's intellectual, emotional, and spiritual development. Mothers, despite their hectic schedules, must allot time for quality bonding with their children to develop closeness. It is quite noticeable that youngsters of today are unruly, aggressive, defiant, and shameless. Valuing our youth's development, it is the intent of this study to investigate the influence of various parenting styles and classroom discipline techniques.

METHODS

The research design used in this study was the descriptive method that elicited the answers to the stated problems. The normative survey through the use of a questionnaire brought to the fore the information needed.

RESULTS

It indicates that pupil-respondents perceived their parents as displaying either authoritative or permissive parenting styles. It has been a common stand and culture among Filipino parents to be authoritative in nature. On the other hand, because of so many concerns confronting the typical Filipino family and so as to avoid the occurrence of problems and concerns, permissive types come into the picture. Authoritative parents are demanding and responsive, controlling but not restrictive. Permissive parents are nurturing and accepting, and very responsive to the child's needs and wishes and do not require children to regulate themselves.

DISCUSSIONS

The study revealed that pupils with authoritative parents exhibited adaptive behavior which contradicts with the findings of Cabingan (2009) -that the more authoritative parents become, the more likely that children exhibit develop gender deviancy. Using Non-Verbal Cuing technique by the teacher, the more pupils tend or exhibited maladaptive behaviors –this also contradicts the study of Weisner (2007) that the use of very simple techniques are often enough to help students regain focus and remain on track during lessons.
