Chapter 9 : Classroom Behaviour and Discipline Management

As stated from Chapter 5, there are such system that will be updated by the school on behavioural and disciplinary records. It is also known as SSDM " Sistem Salahlaku Disiplin Murid ".
So how does disciplinary and behaviour are being managed in school ?

Let look at the theories that has been explained in Chapter 1 . We can learn how misbehaving occurs through the three main theories :

Functionalism Theory
The theory believes that the structure of social status attains the harmony of a community. It is said that it is being measure through three aspects : Stability, Harmony and Evolution .
Without these three aspects, a community cannot succeed or move forward. Why such thing happens when the three aspects seems easy ?
When people acts out of the norm where it does not support the aspects that makes a community great, they are called Deviants. And deviants are this entity that changes the social status of the community.    ( Read More )

Conflict Theory
Deviance too exists in the conflict theory. It believes that the power of education will change the nation by segregating social status to equal as they all receive education opportunities. However, the gap between social status could not be bridge, and people who are repressed or considered minorities of the lower social status goes against the system by refusing education. These too are known as Deviants.

Interactionalism Theory 
Deviance happens when people in a community tends to be selfish into not communicating with each other on how they would like to live. Lack of communication and interaction has made the theory proof of deviance happens when the community no longer speaks or communicate in the same wavelength.

So said theories discuss on how deviants are viewed. Now back to the educational point of view, students who commits deductible merit points of doing offence, are actually accountable of being a deviant. A school is a community, and a person who commits offences and goes out of the norm will be accountable for punishment. However, not all punishments are solved in a one-solution manner. They are looked into, discussed by teachers of the Disciplinary Department before taking actions.
