PRINCIPLES FOR MAINTENANCE OF
DISCIPLINE:-
The most important principles to be observed in the
maintenance of discipline have been outlined by Yoder,
Heneman, Turnbull and Harold Stone. They are:
All the rules should be framed in co-operation and
collaboration with the representatives of teachers and
students
All the rules should be appraised at frequent and regular
interval to ensure that they are, and continue to be,
appropriate, sensible and useful.
Rules should vary with changes in the teaching and
learning conditions
Rules should be uniformly enforced if they are to be
effective.
Penalties for any violation of any rules should be
clearly stated in advance.
A disciplinary policy should have as its objectives
the prevention of any infringement rather than the
simple administration of penalties; however it should
be preventive rather than punitive.
Extreme caution should be exercised to ensure that
infringements are not encouraged.
If violations of a particular rule are fairly frequent, the
circumstances surrounding them should be carefully
investigated and studied in order to discover the cause or causes
of such violations.
Recidivism must be expected. Some offenders would almost
certainly violate rules more often than others. These cases
should be carefully considered so that their causes may be
discovered.

DEMOCRATIC DISCIPLINE
•Otherwise called as Positive Discipline
•Democratic discipline emphasizes positiveness: a change in
vocabulary helps.
•The word "rules" sounds negative. Use the word
"guidelines" or "policies' instead.
•Input is accepted from all who are able to contribute
• Positive Discipline recognizes the importance of firmness
(rules, guidelines, accountability for actions) in our
relationships with children, as well as the kindness of the
permissive style of discipline, whereby children have a
voice and are treated respectfully and lovingly.
AUTHORITARIAN DISCIPLINE
•In the first style, the philosophy of discipline is
that children should do what they are told,
immediately and without question.
•The belief is that adults should have control
over children. In this style children have little
or no voice.
PERMISSIVE DISCIPLINE
•Permissive style is characterized by lots of love
and kindness, with parents having a hard time
setting up and sticking with guidelines or
structure.
•The adults who use this style do not want their
children to be mad, or sad, and they tend to give
in when children push limits.
SELF DISCIPLINE
•Self-discipline can be
defined as the ability to
motivate oneself in spite
of a negative emotional
state
ASSERTIVE DISCIPLINE
•Assertive discipline
is an approach to
class room
management
developed by Lee and Marlene Canter
• It involves a high level of
teacher control in the class.
•Also called the "take-control" approach to teaching, as the
teacher controls their classroom in a firm but positive
manner.
• The approach maintains that teachers must establish rules
and directions that clearly define the limits of acceptable and
unacceptable student behavior, teach these rules and
directions, and ask for assistance from parents and/or
administrators when support is needed in handling the
behavior of students.
PREVENTIVE DISCIPLINE
•Its a positive
procedure that emphasizes and rewards good behavior,
instead of looking for and punishing bad behavior.
•A procedure that rewards the defendant’s positive attitude, instead of
focusing on his wrongdoing and punishing him for it.
DICIPLINARY PROCEDURE:-
The following steps should be taken into consideration:
Accurate statement of the problem- The first step is to
ascertain the problem by seeking answer to the following
questions:
Does this case call for a disciplinary action?
What exactly is the nature of the violation or offence?
Under what condition did it occur?
Which individual or individuals were involved in it?
When or how often, did the violation occur?
Collecting facts bearing on the case-
Before any action is taken in a case, it is essential to
gather all the facts about it.
A thorough examination of the case should be made
within the stipulated time limit.
o Selection of tentative penalties- The kind of penalty
to be imposed for an offence should be determined
beforehand.
3/8/12
Choice of Penalty- When a decision has been taken to impose a
penalty, the punishment to be awarded should be such as would
prevent a recurrence of the offence.
Application of the Penalty- The application of the penalty
involves a positive and assured attitude on the part of the
management. If the disciplinary action is a simple reprimand, the
executive should calmly and quickly dispose of the matter.
oFollow-up on disciplinary action-
The ultimate purpose of disciplinary
action is to maintain discipline, to
ensure productivity, and avoid a
repetition of the offence.
A disciplinary action should,
therefore, be evaluated in terms of its
effectiveness after it has been taken.
