The Level of Knowledge and Skills of Teachers in Discipline Management

Abstract

High self-discipline is capable of producing self-esteemed human capital. Schools are the place to build self-esteem among students as well as at home. This study was conducted to identify the level of knowledge and skills of teachers on student’s discipline management in a primary school in Song district, Sarawak. The study also explores whether there is a difference in the level of management of student discipline based on demographic factors of the teacher. Therefore, we use exploratory case studies using holistic methods to focus on the two key aspects of identifying the level of knowledge and skills of teachers in disciplinary management. Accordingly, the interview approach was used to study 6 teachers to see the level of discipline management in the school. The findings have summarized the teacher's description of the level of disciplinary management in this school that is very high and proficient. In conclusion, this study explains that discipline management efficiency in schools can produce a balanced, physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual human capital.
