PRINCIPLES OF SCHOOL
ORGANIZATION
Factors of Organization:
Organization is a complex process. There are certain factors, which make
the organization easy. They are:
1. Planning
2. Staff and its efficiency
3. Directing
4. Co-ordination
5. Communication
6. Discipline
7. Budgeting
8. Reporting
9. Appraisal
1. Planning:
It is the first component of organization. Planning in organization mean, to
get ready, to decide or to solve some problems.
It is naturally a mental activity it is related to the functioning of inferences,
beliefs and principles, and to the efficiency in planning. There is no rough
and fatal decisions for a good organization, god planning is necessary e.g.
replanting of text, books of teacher science, contain projects like,
modification in curriculum, preparation of books, printing of books and it
availability. But to satisfy these project, co-ordination is must among
various activities which require organization e.g. modification in
curriculum will be done by curriculum wing, books will be written by
various authors and steps will be taken for flourishing the books
publishing. All these steps should be taken in organizational network. Thus
it is clear that in the light of good planning, various organizational factors
are performed.
2. Staff and its Efficiency:
It is the 2nd important factor of organization. Efficient individuals can
improve the organizational work. Thus it is necessary that there must be
selection of suitable candidates, which should be trained because trained
individuals bitterly improved the efficiency of an organization.
3. Directing:
Every planning is futile in the absence of proper directions. It is necessary
that the director know the use of this authority. Directing should be done
by effective manner because ties the will audio their duties.
If a head master gives direction in time, the efficiency of teacher will
increase congestion of directions badly affect the efficiency. The direction
must be clear and in time.
4. Co-ordination:
If there is co-ordination among verso units of organization, it will reach the
goal easily. There are a lot of problems in school e.g. in the preparation of
time table adaptability should be produced among school sources, for
adaptability. Production, motivation is must. A good administrator knows
every individual through co-ordination.
5. Communication:
It is a very important factor of an organization. Due to lack of
communication we cannot reach the goal. It is the duty of administrator to
communicate various units. Thus we can say that "Communication is a
dynamic process by which some one who has a purpose to accomplish,
tries to get some one else to do some thing for the achievement of that
purpose."
Communication is an aim full process when an administrator reflected his
ideas, beliefs, wish act. To his fellows, he takes help from various sources
i.e. expression, hand writing, face index etc. the use of these sources are
very important for the progress of on organization. It is very important for
a head-master to communicate with teacher.
6. Discipline:
It means to analyze all the factors which are active in organization. In
organization every unit has its own importance. Its purpose is to pressurize
the individual for the achievement of better performance. It is a process,
which combine various units for the achievement of objectives.
7. Budgeting:
It mean to analyze all the factors, which are active in organization, is must
e.g. to overcome or to minimize the expenses to maintain equilibrium
between income and expenditure. Budgeting is as important as
organization is in school.
8. Reporting:
It means to inform the administrator forms the nature of work. It is the duty
of administrator to inform his fellow with the help of recurs, research and
inspection, the efficiency of organization and it is the responsibility of head
master to present the commutative progress f the school before the teacher.
Thus a successful administrator is that who face all the above process in a
suitable manner.
9. Appraisal
It means to check the effectiveness of an activity or programme to know
about the validity of a programme. It is the accountability of the activity /
Programme formed inside the school during an academic year. It is the last
step in the internal organization of school.
Principle of School Organization
1. Protection of social values:
The school organization must be a prevent of general and specific aims of
a society. It is because school is a component of the society. Its duty is to
help the society and fastened the social process. Thus it is the first principle
of school organization out protects social values.
2. Achievement of specific aims:
The school must monitor his specific aims for example; in Pakistan the aim
of education is to make teaching effective. Thus the school must organize
these activities on the vases of which they can reach their goals and these
activities must suggested according to the organization of the school. Thus
achievement of specific aims is the second principle, is to develop love
with the ideology of Pakistan.
3. Principle of keeping in Mind.
The interest and individual differences of children students form various
categories take admission in school. They very from one another in ability,
intelligence and interests. Thus the school Administrator must keep in mind
these factors. For this purpose the school perform s various activities due
to which every one goat opportunity to develop their innate potentialities.
Thus it is the quality of school organization.
4. Co-operation with society:
According to this principle, there must be co-operation with society. A
school can never go through progress until the individuals of the society
develop positive attitude toward the school. The co-operation of society
with school is must because due to the help of society, the students
capabilities can be improved thus the organization must be democratic.
5. The Organization must be Flexible:
The school organization must be flexible and balanced because changes
appears in human needs and activities with the passage of time, these
changes also effect the school activities. A school, which doesn't paralyze
the social changes, can never achieve the goal. Thus it is necessary that
organization should be based on the principle of stability.
6. Comprehensiveness:
An organization can be only succeeded, when the planner keep each and
every aspect of an activity. This skill gives a clear picture to organization.
7. Purposive Ness:
The aim and objectives of an organization must be clear to every one that
he can achieve his goal as soon as possible.
8. Utility:
The principle shows that utilize each facility, which you have for achieving
you objectives. If you have the skill utilizing you achieving you objectives,
if you have the skill utilizing your resources you must succeed.
Adaptability:
Adaptability can facilitate our activities. The power of adaptability is the
key of a successful organization.
Professional Growth:
Teachers and other workers should provide in-service training facilities for
better performance.
Accountability:
The analysis of the activities of the staff gives a positive result to
organization. This principle will encourage hard worker and a sign of
alertness for the rest.
Simplicity:
Medium, instructing should be given in an easy and simple medium/way
instead of complex or complicated manners.
Reform/Amendments:
There should be a door for reforms and amendments for the betterment of
school and society.
Meanings
Organization means way of arranging. How to arrange the various
materials present inside the school. How these can be used in a better way
for promoting the Educational system inside the educational institute.
It means a pre-planned programme for an institute to run it in a pleasant,
peaceful and educational atmosphere according to the prescribed
curriculum.
To perform all the activities of an educational institute n an organized way
that an individual may be able o achieve the goals of education.
To organize and arrange all the activities of the school in such a way. That
the growth of the individual may take place according to his /her natural
tendency and abilities.
To arrange all the activities of the school with a mutual co-operation and
understanding. This will lead to better training of the individual.
6. Creative Discipline:
Stern discipline of the old pattern suffocates democracy. Democratic way
of life is not possible if the discipline of a school is not creative. The old
disciplinarian appreciated the silence of grave-yard in his whole school,
but today creative activity has taken place of the passive learning and there
can be no activity in a grave yard. Therefore some noise, although
controlled, is considered to be natural and healthy in a school. Pupils in a
progressive school manage their affairs themselves. Therefore,
administration is no more a heavy burden for the teachers and high-ups.
There is the least friction in the routine affairs of the school.
Close relation between school organization and objectives of education in
a community. Organization of education in every country reflects the ideals
of the State and objectives of education in a community. Educational
practices must confirm to educational ideals. This conformity is achieved
through organization. This is perhaps more marked in those countries in
which there has been, in recent years, some radical change in the
conception of State and its function. In Russia, Germany and Italy, national
system of education has been completely reorganized and has been made
an effective weapon for the propagation of the state ideal. Organization has
been made rigid and uniform. In England and France the purpose of the
organization of education is to maintain the principles upon which the state
is based. The basic truth is that there are two essential rights in all citizens
of a democratic state:
i. That to adequate nutriment and
ii. That to adequate education. It is useless to take about freedom of
speech if the people are not nourished and educated properly.
Universal suffrage is a mockery without food and education.
All this illustrates close connection between school organization and the
ideals of the community of which the school is a part. Before the
organization of the whole system of education is planned, the objectives of
the community must be clearly visualized.
Another point which needs special attention is that as social ideals change,
so do change those of education. The first aim of elementary education in
this country was to produce a literate people. This aim determined the
curriculum. Since the aim was to make people literate only, so the
curriculum was confined to 3 R's. It fixed the technique that of large
classes taught in the mass. It determined the whole of organization of the
school. They type of the building, the size of class-rooms and every detail
of class management was determined by this aim of making people literate
only, but now the new purpose of education is to make people cultured,
educated, fit and efficient citizens of a modern Islamic democratic State.
Only those who have witnessed the working of education under both the
ideas can realize the change in organization brought about by this change
in the objective. The whole planning of the school has changed; the rooms
required have changed both in number and type; the technique of teaching
has to be revised. The parts played by the teacher and the taught have been
changed. The curriculum has changed, the type of building has changed,
the methods of teaching have changed and with those changes has come an
entirely new type of organization both of the educational system and of the
individual school.
It is inevitable that ideals must always be a head of organization and
therefore organization should always be flexible enough to allow the
experiment and progress.
Should Organization by Rigid or Flexible?
We have seen that organization is necessary. But the history of mankind is
full of examples of wars and struggles and controversies waged round the
maintenance or destruction of some effective organization. "There are
those who detest organization and there are those who worship it".
Organization is necessary but it has to be carefully watched and reviewed.
Sometimes the danger is that organization is regarded as more important
than the idea or ideas which it is set up to serve, thought is free and
unconfined, it is living, it grows and is dynamic. Organization limits and
confines; it may be deadly and static. Sometimes the danger goes further
than this. After some time the organization may become so important that
the original reason for which organization was instituted is forgotten. The
reason for which organization is necessary is sound and smooth running of
the school, this reason is forgotten, no heed is paid to good education or
smooth running of the school or efficient standard of learning but the
whole time is devoted to make organization perfect and elaborate.
Organization, therefore, like fire, is a good servant but a bad master.
The bureaucratic mind loves organization above all things. Such
organization may result in a deadly uniformity and in efficiency which may
be mechanically perfect but which is not education. H. G. Stead has told a
story about a Director of Education who was in the habit of pushing a bell
in his office and demanding from the subordinate who answered his
summons information such as how many children in the city under his
control were doing multiplication of money sums at that moment. And so
answer had to be forth coming. There is no doubt that the organization of
both the Education office and the school was perfect. But it is doubtful if
this organization was for the purpose of Education. The same author gives
another story to illustrate the danger inherent in all organization. At the
invitation of some of his discipline an administrator once visited Europe.
He mat his followers at a conference held at the Hague and at the last of
the meetings to be held it was proposed that an organization be set up to
propagate the ideas of the master. Where upon the Pakistani took the first
boat back to his country. Why'? Because he knew that if organization is set
up, the whole of the energy and attention of his followers will be spent on
organization rather in the propagation of his ideas.
But while saying so, we do not mean that organization is undesirable, nor
do we maintain that it is possible to proceed without sound organization. It
must always be remembered that organization is a means and not an end in
itself. It is the instrument by which the desired aim may be achieved. It
should not be allowed to become the end in itself but must be subordinated
to the purpose for which it has been set up. This indicates the need for a
critical attitude towards all organization. As ideas change, as the purpose
changes so must the organization change if the new ideal is to be achieved.
And since ideas and ideals is dynamic and not static, it is necessary that
organization be fluid and not rigid.
Both the headmaster and the staff should be constantly on the look out for
ways and means of simplification of organization. It is not always a mark
of well-organized school for it to have a great deal of organization
machinery. The machinery may or may not be harmoniously towards the
aim and purpose for which the school stands.
1.3 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF SCHOOL
ORGANIZATION:
Modern Education Effected the School Organization:
The new education is a revolt against the mechanical bookishness of the
past. Education has been psychologist. The child is placed on the pedestal
of glory; the teacher's position has altogether changed, the methods of
instruction have altogether changed. The following characteristics of
modern education have affected the school organization.
1. Contents and methods of Education:
The former 3 R's – Reading. Writing and Arithmetic – are not enough. The
fourth R- recreation – is being given enough importance. Extra curricular
activities have become co-curricular activities. The whole educator
addresses the whole of the child about the whole of the subject.
The content of education is related life. Life is not divorced from
education. The child is to become "fit to live" and "fit to live with"
2. Discipline
The old sense of discipline of the army type order has gone out of fashion.
Punishment has also gone out of date. Modern educator lays emphasis on
self-discipline, creative discipline, inner discipline. He attaches greater
value to the freedom of the child. He tries to work with pupils rather than
for them.
3. The Teacher:
Old education was entirely teacher centered. He was a dictator. expected to
fill the pupils with knowledge just as one might fill bottles from a running
tap. But the new education has become child-centered. Education is not to
pour in ready-made knowledge but it is drawing out of the best in a child.
The teacher is a guide, a friend, a philosopher. His functions have become
numerous more comprehensive and more important than ever. He must be
a psychologist, a psychoanalyst, a doctor-all in one.
4. The Child:
The essential principle of new education is "teach the child rather than the
subject". He was now become the monarch in the education world" "The
school exists for the pupil; the pupil does not exist for the school". All
aspects of his personality –physical, mental intellectual, spiritual are to be
developed.
5. Activity – centered:
Education has become activity centered. The pupil activity has become the
goal, the subject matter is learned as a means to that end. Experience is
more important than mere instruction. A child must be active during the
period of his education. If there is no activity, there is no development. The
two slogans of new education are "Learning by doing and learning by
living". Adams says, "The new teaching recognizes the right of the pupil to
do things in his own way, within reasonable limits".
6. Integration and Correlation:
The modern tendency is to bring into learning situation subject matter from
various fields. The curriculum should be craft centered i.e., teaching every
subject annually and through a craft.
7. Socialization:
Pupils are encouraged to work in groups and to accept group responsibility
for the welfare of the school and its programme. The school programme is
to be similar to life situations. Teachers and the taught are work together on
common problems. The child is to become a socially efficient citizen.
8. Examination:
The system of examinations has changed tremendously. Now the stress is
on objective tests and cumulative records and not on essay type
examinations. Mental tests, intelligence tests, practical tests supplement the
examination system.
9. Individual Development:
The modern education emphasizes the development of the individuality of
the child. His individuality must be allowed free play. Sir Perey Nuon says,
"Individual is the basis of everything". Dalton plan and Montessori method
emphasize the individual study. Some modern educationists go to the
extreme while they say that the new education has rung the death-knell of
class teaching. But it should be remembered that the class as a unit of
teaching may or may not stay but class as a unit of organization must stay.
10. School Records and Report Cards:
The records of the school are becoming more inclusive. The cumulative
folder should contain the health record, mental, achievement test, ratings,
descriptions of particularly noteworthy achievement and participation in
co-curricular activities.
Student population:
The following questions in this regard are quite important.
I. What changes are anticipated in the school population?
II. How do these changes affect each grade level?
III. How do these changes in district boundaries are going to affect
students' population?
Existing plant of the school:
Third basic data necessary in planning for the school plant has to use the
existing plant leads to a key questions and which must be answered.
Are the present buildings safe? Are they located where they are needed?
Can they be adapted to fulfill the educational needs? What capacity do the
existing building have in term of the educational programme and pupil
population of the future?
Financial resources available:
For the development of the school plants, financial resources are very
important because all developmental activities require funds and the
amount of these funds determine the range of all developmental activities.
Operation and maintenance of school plant:
The administration is responsible for the smooth operation and
maintenance of the school plant. Operation has to do with the day-to-day
running of the plant. The major objectives of operation are to kept the plant
safe in connection with sanitary, attraction and in readiness for teaching
and learning. School plants like other physical facilities require a constant
programme of maintenance. Equipment out of use must be replaced, and
roofs eventually leak and require repairs. These maintenance activities is
the responsibility of the administrator to deal with.
School transportation:
School transportation is also one of the school physical facilities. The
transportation service is carried on with rather high capital investment in
equipment for which the problem of procurement and maintenance are
some what similar to the procurement and maintenance of other facilities.
The transportation programme is auxiliary to the instructional programme
in some what the same manner as are building facilities.
2.6 MEANING, DEFINITION AND KINDS OF SUPERVISION
The Meaning of Supervision
Supervision has many different meaning. Each person who reads or hears
the word, interprets it in terms of his past experiences, and according to his
needs, and his purposes.
A supervisor may consider it a positive force for programme
improvements; a teacher may see it as a threat to his individuality; another
teacher may think of it as a source of assistance and support.(p.3)
Supervision is a directing and a judging activity. In the 1910's and 1020's
the writing in the field of supervision recommended tallying and checking
to see whether or not people had done as they were directed. (p.5)
Supervision cannot properly be defined in terms of techniques alone; rather
it must be defined in terms of the purposes for which it is used. (p.1)
The term of supervision is used to describe 'those activities which are
primarily and directly concerned with studying and improving the
conditions which surrounds the learning and growth of pupils the teachers'.
It is a term used to describe a wide variety of behaviours carried out by a
diverse group of people within the context of specific school systems. (p.3,
1824-5)
Different Definitions of Supervision:
1. Supervision is the process of bringing about improvement in
instruction by working with people who are working with pupils.
2. Good supervision is a process of releasing energies of people in
creative ways, and to solve individual and group problems.
3. Supervision is the service provided for the purpose of improving
teaching and learning. (R. Smith et al, p. 403)
4. It refers to the variety of means used by supervisors, to improve
the teaching and learning process. (p. 781 Modern encyclopedia
of education).
5. It has also been defined as support services to teachers and
educational organizations for improvement of teaching practices
in order that their students learn more, fast and with better
convenience. They should feel happy while learning and make
effective use of what they have learnt. In other words supervision
is a function which encourages the creative and constructive
potential of the teacher and the taught. (M. Iqbal)
Supervision has been defined as a four point programme:
The appraisal of specific learning situations to ascertain the needs of
children and the efficiency of instructions.
Technical service to teachers in the form of instructional aids, specific
suggestions for the improvement of instruction and assistance I
pupil diagnosis and measurement.
Research for the purpose of curriculum construction and revision, and for
the improvement of materials, techniques and methods of
instruction.
Professional leadership should cooperate with teachers through stimulation
to further professional study, and through cooperative
development of some programme of in-service education. (p. 15-
17)
In general, supervision means to co-ordinate, stimulate, and direct the
growth of teachers and the power to stimulate and direct the growth of
every pupil through the exercise of his talents towards the richest and most
intelligent participation in the society and the world in which he lives. (p.3-
21)
What is Supervisor:
The term supervisor is referred to any person who has been delegated a
specific responsibility for some phase of supervision. (p. 153)
Any official leader, superintendent of schools, principals, department's
heads, or staff officer is a supervisor. All of them spent a portion of their
time seeking improvement of the instructional programme. (p. 26)
Kinds of Supervision:
The supervision has the following kinds.
1. Corrective supervision.
2. Preventive supervision.
3. Creative supervision.
4. Lassies-faire.
5. Democrative supervision.
6. Scientific supervision.
7. Authoritative supervision.
8. Co-operative supervision.
9. Inspection supervision.
1. Corrective Supervision:
This is the old concept of supervision. Its main aim is to detect the
weaknesses and drawbacks of the sub-ordinates. This kind of supervision is
subjected to create fear in sub-ordinates. This supervision is also called
autocratic, because the behaviour of a supervisor in this kind of supervision
is like a dictator.
2. Preventive Supervision:
It is partly better as compared to the mentioned above. In this supervision
the supervisor detects the problems of the teachers and tries to find out
solutions.
3. Creative Supervision:
In this supervision, the behaviour of supervisor is constructive, dedicated
and cooperative.
4. Laissez Faire:
In this supervision, the supervisor is mainly depended on other. He has no
interests in the affairs of others, due to which the activity of the school is
highly damaged.
5. Democrative Supervision:
In the whole process is based on the consultation of the teachers. It is
based, even in some cases, on consultation of the students. The staff is
encouraged, due to which the institutional atmosphere remains pleasant.
6. Scientific Supervision:
In this type of supervision, the supervisor views critically and scientifically
supervised everything.
7. Authoritative Supervision:
In this, the supervisor acts like a authoritative person. He imposed his
dictatorship on the teachers, due to which a lot of fear is created among the
teachers.
8. Cooperative Supervision:
In this type of supervision, the supervisor co-operates with the staff of the
school. He solves the problems of the teachers and also gives useful
proposals to them.
10. Inspection Supervision:
In this, first, the problems are searched out, and then their solutions are
also taken out. (p. 107-29)
In general, the supervision can be divided into two main types:
Administrative supervision
Teaching supervision
Administrative Supervision:
It is related to organizational and administrative issues. The purpose is to
run the school administration effectively with the help of limited resources
and to achieve maximum benefits.
1. Teaching Supervision:
It is concerned with evaluation and providing feed back to teachers in
teaching and professional skills.
It helps individual in class-room, teachers in improvement of their day-to-
day class room teaching practices, professional skill and their potentials to
perform their teaching duties to the best of their knowledge and ability.(M.
Iqbal, Frontier Post) (p.2)
Definition
1. Human relation means the action of every individual.
2. Human relation is the relation of a person in a society with the
other person.
3. According to the nature of human beings they like to live together
in society. The combination of economic, social and psychological
relation among the human beings are known as human relations.
4. To study the action of every individual is called human relation.
5. The way from which we know about the action of people is
known as human relation.
6. According to Robert Rizzo: Human relation is the process of
dealing with people in such a way as to accomplish the goals of
both the motivator and those being motivated.
7. Actions and reactions of the individuals are known as human
relations.
The term human relation is the combination of two words 'Human and
'Relation' which means the relation among various individuals on the
surface of the earth. But now, the question arises that why this sort of
relations exist among the individuals. Answers to this question are given by
different thinkers i.e.
1. Aristotle
Man lived social and political life not by choice but because of their
inherent nature, their needs, desires and their strength and weaknesses
make them do so.
2. Imam Ghazali
Man is created in such a manner that he cannot live all by himself but is in
constant need of others. And man needs this company for two reasons.
1. For the sack of procreation (produce off spring),
2. For food, clothing and proper education.
3. Ibni Khaldun
The nature and necessities of life compelled a man to live with others. In
order to defend and feed himself man must cooperate with man.
But one thing should he kept in mind, if people work together with team
spirit, and co-operation, It will also put positive affects on social life,
economic, and psychological objectives of an organization.
Concepts
1. Human Dignity:
Respect for the personality of each and every individual, irrespective of the
position, he occupies in the official hierarchy, is the most cardinal principle
in human relation. This does not mean that there has to be no consideration
of superior and subordinate. What in principle it means, is only this, that
the superiors have to recognize the fact that every individual has a dignity
as a human being and that allowances have to be made for his sense of self
respect even when he subordinates himself in an organization.
2. Individual Differences:
The second principle is that as every individual has a separate and
independent personality of his own, he cannot be treated as a cog in the
organizational structure, nor is it possible to make him an object of
experiment under any standardized condition. Management can best handle
its labour or employees problems by recognizing the fact of individual
differences and by making allowances for them in their personnel policy.
3. Mutual Interest:
Human beings are by nature gregarious, that is they want to cooperate and
work together, or that when they work together they develop a common
interest which is different, though not divergent from the individual interest
of each human.
4. Motivation:
When a man has a tendency to develop a community of interest while
working in combination with others, then the management of an
organization should motivate the workers to work together and develop a
spirit of co-operation. This is the only way to achieve the planned goals of
the organization. In other words, the management should rely in dealing
with the employees, upon the leadership rather than authority. The art of
human relations is primarily an art of developing leadership in an
organization.
In school organization "human relations" means creating conducive
environment for teamwork of the administrator, teacher, the taught and the
parents, so that the institute runs
Smoothly and properly flourished. Nowadays it is a recognized fact, that
without the community participation, any predetermined goal is not only
difficult to achieve but impossible too., That Is why, the educationists
stress upon the need of close relation among the members of any
organization. The school administration can easily achieve their objectives
through close relation among their members, teachers, taught and other
allied members.
In this connection, there is a dire need to discuss in detail the responsibility
and quality of a head master, teacher, and role of society besides the duties
and rights of the taught.
6. Participation in Planning
Participation of the colleagues and follows in the implementation of certain
programmed is necessary in the organization. What is important to note is
that the followers should not be made to feel that they are being ignored?
7. Kindness
Kindness is a principle, which may not be accepted and practiced by an
authoritarian personality, but researches reveal that kindness, where it is
really needed, always leads to happy results, Some times just apart on the
shoulder saves the individual from many pitfalls in life. Punishment
wrongly awarded may lose the individual forever.
8. Evaluation
Times are gone for the administrator to rely on his rational considerations
alone or mere impressions gathered through unreliable sources. Social
sciences can provide scientific methods to avoid waste of time, money and
energy and help the organizations in making their policies successful in
modifying them, through a process of evaluation.
Importance of Discipline
An opinion may be formed about a school by observing the discipline
among its students. It is necessary for every school to enforce certain rules
of conduct to ensure discipline. Conversely, discipline is essential if rules
are to be implemented. If the students and the teachers of a school are not
disciplined, it will be difficult for the school to realize the goals of
education namely all round development. To inculcate the virtues,
desirable in a good citizen, discipline is absolutely essential.
Forms of Indiscipline School
1. Reaching the School Late: There can be many reasons for
student gets late or other students might be teasing him while he is on the
way to school. Hence, before punishing the student on this score the
The School:
The necessary means for the physical, mental and moral development of
the students should be available in the school. The standard of teaching in
the school should be of a high order.
The Headmaster/Principal and the Teachers:
The headmaster/principal and teachers should be efficient when
discharging their various responsibilities.
The Home:
The environment of the home should be peaceful. The people at home
should take an interest in the education of the student and should not place
any hindrance in his studies.
7. It is necessary in the interest of discipline to make the student
understand that discipline does not consist only of observing the
rules and regulations of the school, but it also includes the
observance of the laws of society, that is, discipline is not
confined to the school only but is related to the whole-life.
8. Since discipline is related to the whole-life, attention should
necessarily be paid to the following:
Observing rules to maintain one's health and to avoid evil habits.
If we place before the students the above ideals from the very beginning
and inspire them to live up to the same, they will become disciplined and
contribute towards the strengthening of the democratic set-up in our
country.
Means for the Inculcation of Discipline
We have indicated that in order to make the students discipline. We should
create the suitable atmosphere in the school. Mere theoretical discussions
and speeches will not suffice. Hence the organization of school, its ideals
and all its activities and programs should be based on democratic
principles. It is obvious that the best means of discipline is the maintenance
of the necessary atmosphere and for this we have to give our attention to
positive measures. Under the special circumstances some measure may be
necessary.
Positive Measures
Pupil's self-government.
Parent teacher co-operation.
Moral Instruction.
Desirable tone and tradition of the school.
Provision of necessary facilities for studies in the school.
Organized games and sports.
Co-curricular activities in the school.
Due recognition of the merits of the various students.
Corporate life of the school.
Negative Measures
The negative measures include various types of punishment, which we
shall discuss in a coming page.
Causes of Indiscipline in our Schools
At present indiscipline in our educational institutions is a serious problem.
It extends from the secondary schools, to the universities. In society itself
we find several manifestations of indiscipline and it is the wonder that
these have serious repercussions on the educational institutions as well.
The following may be some of the important causes of indiscipline in our
schools:
1. Lack of Leadership in Teachers: Today teachers do not enjoy that
respect in society, which they did in the past. Consequently,
students also do not show due respect to their teachers. Some
teachers get involved in the cesspool of politics and self-interest
in the development of the students. Very often these teachers
excite the students and use them as tools for the realization of
their selfish ends. Due to the practice of private tuition's the
prestige of the teacher in society has gone down. Their miserable
economic conditions add to this. Due to all these reasons, the
teachers have lost originality in thinking. As a result, they are
incapable of giving guidance to students in the various situations
of life. So it is no wonder to find indiscipline among the students.
2. The Current Education System: The current system of education
is being criticized at all times. Hence, the students have begun to
feel that the education, which is being given to them, is not good.
As a result they have no regard for this education. They consider
it merely as a means of getting some employment. The prime aim
of the present day educational system has become the securing of
a good division at annual examinations and the students do not
desist from adopting any means to achieve this objective. This is
also a cause of indiscipline.
3. Lack of a sustaining Ideal in the Students: At present the
condition of our society is pitiable. Many people, because their
self-interest, have started attaching greater importance to the ends
rather that to the means to achieve them. The social values are
undergoing rapid changes; as such the individual errs in fixing his
moral standard. This has shaken the very foundation of our
society. Today the individual is not sure about the security of his
life and property. Therefore, there is a lack of healthy ideal among
the students. Hence indiscipline is increasing among them.
4. Economic Difficulties: Our economic conditions have
deteriorated to a deplorable degree. The population has increased,
unemployment is a national problems. The students are always
haunted by the fear that their future is dark. So they cannot chalk
out their path of duty and on occasions they behave in an
undisciplined manner.
From the above discussions we may conclude that the responsibility for
indiscipline does not ret only with the school, but also with the home, the
society and the government. Hence for its eradication the co-operation of
all the concerned is necessary. On the basis of the causes mentioned above,
some suggestions are given below to solve the problem of indiscipline.
Suggestions for Rooting out Indiscipline
In order to create in the teachers a spirit of leadership, their living
standard should be raised. Their emoluments will have to be
sufficiently increased. The will have to be provided with the
required facilities so that they are not compelled to undertake
private tuition's. This will afford opportunities to them for self-
development and their moral strength will be increased. It will
develop in them the power of leadership and they will be able to
give correct guidance to the students.
1) In order act between the teachers and the taught the number of
students in a class should be within reasonable limits.
2) Vocational e included in the educational set-up so that the students
may bet education according to their particular tastes and
aptitudes.
3) Lack of funds should not cause any hindrance in the path of the
higher education of any student.
4) Each individual should be given an equitable opportunity in the
scheme of education according to his individual merits and
demands.
5) Efforts should be made to minimize the defects of the current
educational system through constructive suggestions and mere
theorizing should be avoided. Merely theoretical criticism creates
distrust in the students.
6) Such ideals should be inculcated in the students as may create in
them the spirit of tolerance, love, fairing and self-sacrifice for the
good society.
7) Such conditions should be created that the students may get full
opportunities for their physical, mental and moral development.
Motivation of School Discipline
Discipline has been given a very significant place in modern educational
thought. To run a school in a satisfactory manner, disciplined students are
essential. The importance of rewards and punishment has been recognized
to maintain discipline in schools. We shall understand both these factors in
below pages.
Rewards
There are different ways of giving rewards I our schools today. On
securing a high position in some field, a student is rewarded with some
plaything or a trophy, a medal, books or certificates. To appreciate the
students for the good work done and to encourage them in this habit,
rewards are given. Rewarding students is important due to the following
factors.
The spirit of competition is awakened in the students and they get an
incentive to work satisfactorily and systematically.
The tendency to discharge duties readily and to imbibe good habits is
created in the students.
There has been some criticism of the system of giving rewards; the basis of
their argument is that nature has not gifted everyone with equal or similar
intelligence and physical powers. He who has a sharp intelligence and
good physical power will get the reward. Hence, a reward does not attach
importance to the labor of an individual. It is also said that students who do
not get rewards become lazy and their progress is checked. Keeping this
criticism in view we may now think about the aims and occasions for
rewards. Some people are of the view that rewards should be given
collectively and only in particular circumstances should these be given
individually. The moral aspect of the child should be given greater.
Consideration in the award of rewards. The rewards, which are based on
the day-to-day work and on the conduct of the student, have a special
importance. Rewards given on the basis of some particular performance
(standing first in the class, securing good position in games and sports or
participation in Scout and Red Cross activities, etc.) are indicative of the
achievement of the student only in one particular field. Hence, these cannot
be regarded as very significant. The hardworking and painstaking students
must be rewarded. While rewarding them it should be clearly pointed out
to them that they have been given the reward for their good qualities. This
will inspire other students to become hard working.
4.5 REWARD / PUNISHMENT, TYPES AND ITS EFFECTS OF
DISCIPLINE
Punishment
An institution, society or association is influenced by contemporary
thought. Our country has adopted a democratic setup. Hence the influence
of democratic thought is evident in the political, cultural, educational and
other fields of our life. In the past, corporal punishment was regarded as
very effective and it was considered necessary for maintaining discipline.
In a democracy great importance is attached to the personality of the
individual, who is given due freedom and opportunity to develop himself.
This aim cannot be achieved if punishment is given in order to get a thing
done by the student. Punishment destroys in the children the spirit of love,
courage and also the power of discussion. Their health is impaired, several
mental complexes arise and their physical, mental and spiritual
development is stemmed. Thus punishment defeats the purpose of
education.
To abolish the system of punishment from our schools, society has to
become perfect. But this is not possible. There are sure to be some
undesirable elements in us. Hence punishment cannot be totally banned. In
some situations punishment may create a conductive atmosphere to fulfill
the purposes of education. There are several types of punishments. We are
mentioning some of these below:
used.
from the psychological point of view: The student begins to feel tired after
4 or 5 hours of work in the school and he is not inclined to read after that.
Sometimes the evil effect of this go so far that the student have not done
work the next day and may become regular in his work.
primary level within the larger group; however, small groups have been
organize around the maturity of the child, physical or social attributes and
other factors.
Unequal Temper:
A teacher is a human being, but he should steadily diminish in frequency
as his or her experience increases, and should eventually cease altogether.
Teacher should read in the classroom before time and start the
class immediately.
Teacher should learn the name of the students as soon as possible.
A teacher is supposed to come to class fully prepared.
Teacher must be consistent, he should never discipline one time
and ignore the next.
Always be with them friendly, fair and firm.
Weekly or fortnightly review the classroom students.
Use surprise, an interesting film, an outside speaker, a change in
classroom routine etc.
Conserve the voice, a noisy voice creates and encourages noise in
the room. So speech should be a little above the conversational
pitch.
Expect attention. Give each statement once only and see that the
desired result is obtained immediately.
Check each misdemeanor immediately.
If any student challenges you do not take it personal.
If a child misbehaving as a direct question. Look straight in his
eyes. Follow another question if necessary.
Teach with an alert eye.
In the beginning of new classes be strict with them.
Be methodical. Work to a system use the method (recommended)
whenever necessary.
Praise your pupils at their work, considering their ability and
aptitude time to time.
When class seems to be restless start some type of action games,
as to keep the classroom healthy.
Arrange meeting with their parents and work as team.
Make sure that children are succeeding in their class.
Young male teachers should avoid showing special attention to
females students, their attention is often misinterpreted. Young
woman teachers can avoid awkward situations with male students
by dressing, walking and sitting properly.
What to do and What Not to Do?
Do not interrupt pupils with orders, statements, or announcements
when they are busy doing something else.
Be sure the pupils are ready to hear you before you make
announcements, issue orders, or make statements.
Do not interrupt yourself.
Avoid getting off the topic.
If you start discussing one thing, keep to it until you are finished.
Don't jump around from one topic or activity to another and then
back again.
Avoid talking an activity to death.
When you have said what you have to say, stop.
Don't go into too much detail.
If something can be done in a few steps or explained in a few
words, don't expand unnecessarily.
5.4 MODERN CONCEPTS OF STUDENT CLASSIFICATION
The following are few kinds of problems and their solutions. Notice that
each type of problem needs different types of adaptation by the concerned
teacher.

Other supporting staff.
4. Civic Training:
The school should be a training ground for democracy. It should be
organized and administered on democratic lines. The students will thus
have opportunities and responsibilities somewhat similar in a small way to
those they will have later as grown-up citizens. Co-curricular activities
train pupils for their rights and responsibilities as citizens. Students learn
the mechanics and devices of government and develop true spirit of
citizenship.
Self-government will provide experience of the life of a democratic
society. In this, pupils determine the policies and the programmers; they
plan and present assembly programmers. The individual pupil learns how
to conduct a meeting in an approved and parliamentary style. It gives him
an opportunity to exercise his vote. Here the students will know that rights
involve responsibilities.
Lessons in co-operation can be learnt by practice. In order to retain his
position as a member in a Students' Council, Athletic team etc., a student
has to exercise co-operation.
5. To Provide Worthy Recreational Interests:
Education for leisure should begin in school. It is as important as education
for work. If recreational interests are developed during school life, they
prove to be very beneficial in leisure hour of adult life and make life fuller
and richer.
With the advent of industrial civilization, human lab our has been replaced
by machines. So increasing leisure hours have been afforded to men. As
the work is entirely mechanized, the worker does not derive any human
satisfaction from it. He is never responsible for a work as a whole. He will
never take satisfaction and pride on the completion of the whole, work.
The denial of human values during work hours results in a reaction in the
worker to enjoy his leisure hours violently. He is frustrated.
Schools can create favorable attitudes in their pupils for healthy activities
and unfavorable ones for unhealthy leisure time activities. If love for one
or more hobbies is created at the school stage, that hobby will be the
principal leisure time activity of the pupil throughout life.
6. Supplementation of Academic Work:
Due to co-curricular activities, the teaching of civics, composition, history,
geography etc. will be greatly supplemented. Election to the students'
council will give them a picture of Central and State elections. Excursions
to historical, geographical and industrial places will enrich the experiences
of the students. Contributions to the School Magazine will supplement the
teaching of languages.
7. To discover and develop individual Merest and provide
recreation:
The school should organize various kinds of activities in the school so that
the pupil may participate according to his interest. The pupil will
participate in only that activity in which he is interested. So the teacher can
find out the interest and the aptitude of the pupil. Recreation can, therefore,
be provided according to the interest of the pupil. When individual
differences are recognized, when tastes and aptitudes are discovered and
when recreation is provided, the problem of school discipline can be
solved. All these activities are helpful in experimenting with their likes and
dislikes, in finding their interests and capacities in these fields and in
developing their tastes and aptitudes they possess.
8. Training for Leadership:
Many performances have to be organized. Many situations have to be
faced in the running of various societies. All these inculcate in the students
the qualities of quick and clear thinking, adaptability, good judgment,
initiative, self-confidence, broad vision, tact, patience, tolerance, integrity,
willingness to work, enthusiasm faith, courage, conviction, unselfishness
etc. These qualities cannot be developed through the regular curriculum.
9. Development of Discipline:
Discipline become self-discipline. Students remain busy with different
kinds of activities and develop their talents in different directions. They
make laws for various societies and come to realize the need for showing
respect to other school laws. Many kinds of education activities—Basic as
well as non. Basic—should be organized in schools. These activities should
be able to serve some objectives.
1. All students should have equal opportunity to be a member of
school organization.
2. These activities should stimulate children's interests in their
environment. Education of children in schools should be closely
linked to their lives in the community.
3. These activities should provide such experiences as would
contribute to the all-round development of children. They should
be organized in such a manner that they are helpful in the
physical, mental and moral development of the child.
4. These activities should be helpful in giving training for
leadership.
5. They should give the child training in citizenship and in the art of
self-government.
6. Pupils should learn while doing things. Learning should be
purposive, realization and more effective.
7. They should give scope for creativity and self-expression in
children.
8. They should develop initiative in children.
9. They should teach the child the art of recreation and worthy use of
leisure.
10. They should help acquire knowledge.
Essentials of a Programmed of Co-Curricular Activities:
i. These activities should be organized during school time.
ii. These activities should be strictly under the guidance of teachers.
iii. These should not be started merely for "show work." These
activities must be organized and considered as a means to the

viii. Once an activity is started it should not be allowed to die.
ix. These activities should not be expensive as far as possible.
x. Funds should be raised by the society concerned in order to meet
the expenditure involved in various activities.
xi. These funds should not be spent on a few selected stars (selected
players or characters in a drama or debates).
xii. Regular time should be devoted to these activities
xiii. Community should be well informed of these activities and ample
publicity should be given.
Organizer Duties:
i. To plan the schedule of the year's activities and to set dates of
special activities such as concerts, parents' days, school sport etc
ii. To secure a list of clubs that the teachers desire to offer.
iii. To take care of special discipline cases during club periods.

Physical development is as important as intellectual development,
school healthy conditions influence in the formation of child's
personality.
1. School dispensary is necessary to help the students in case
of emergency.

Importance
They give training for youth in the art of communicating one's ideas
to other, fully clearly and effectively. The impulse to communicate is
very powerful in adolescents and it seeks expression in various ways
side by side with the growth of this impulse, the thought processes
develop rapidly and the youth becomes capable of organizing his
ideas and of reasoning about things. He also accumulates varied
experiences. His urge to express his thoughts and feelings is thus
greatly helped by his increasing rang of experience and his ability in
logical thinking.
The ability to communicate one's thoughts and feelings in an
effective manner is an essential condition for participation in social
life. The school should therefore, provide maximum opportunities for
practice in the art of effective expression and to expand the social
capacity of the pupil.

iii. Room time table:- In such type of time table the lecture
rooms, laboratory, workshop, Drawing room, and library etc, are to be
used by each and every class and section in a week These specific
rooms are to be used by every section and class alternatively; so their
time table must be as such to arrange all of the subjects concerning to
them alternately daily or weekly in alternate periods.
4. Home work Time Table:- It is time table in which schedule
of home work or various subjects and classed is arranged in such a
way that the student may neither be over loaded nor left free to move
hither and thither. It is better to classify important subjects like
English, Maths, Urdu, G.Sc. etc and their home work should be
allotted in different days of the week. Thus their home work easily. If
a Teacher teaches the same subject to the different classes or sections;
He should be given alternate days for the allotment of home work to
the different classes or sections. If there was no such arrangement,
then either the student will be over loaded by the home work one day
and would be left free next day, which is not beneficial to the student
as well as to the teacher for check up-and correction work.
In the consolidated time table on one side there would be teacher wise
time table and on the other side there would be class wise time table.
One copy of this consolidated time table would be on the, office table
of the head master or principle and other copy would be in the vacant
period register; through which the periods of the teacher on leave
could be distributed among the present teachers, one copy of the
activities time table, home work time table should be in office and
one copy of each should be on the notice board, while one copy of the
room time table would be in their respective room and the second
copy would be in the office for verification.
Preparations for Time Table Making
1. Difficult and important subjects should be first:- Before
making a time table for a school the difficult subjects should
be enlisted first e.g. mathematics, English. physics,
chemistry and other science subjects etc, that they may be
given enough periods and should be retained regularly whole
of the week.
2. Incidence of fatigue:- Two or three consecutive difficult
periods bring more mental fatigue, so it should be noted that after two
difficult subjects one light subject must be kept, e.g. Drawing subjects
General Science, Qiraat and physical education etc.
3. Principle of variety:- While framing a time table principle
of variety should be kept in mind for both teachers and pupils.
Students will feel mental fatigue and boredom, if they are kept
engaged in the same subject for a number of periods; so it is better
not to have the same subject for two or more consecutive periods
except science practical, wood work, metal work or and any other
vocational work. In case of teachers principle of variety should be
kept in alternate periods. For example a teacher of English or
Mathematics could not attend two consecutive periods of oral work or
written work. So he should be given a free period in between the two
periods or some other alternate period should be given in middle. For
the practical work e.g. Science practical. wood work, metal work or
some other vocational or technical work if there are two consecutive
periods then it is better for them because they require more time to
complete and are interesting, also.
4. Principle of Justice:- Teaching periods among the staff
members should be equally distributed except special subjects of the
specific teacher e.g. science, Qiraat, Drawing, Arabic, Drill and
vocational subjects, for which there is a specific teacher. So these
subjects should be allotted to theni definitely. If the total periods of a
teacher were less than the average periods of the remaining staff
members such staff members should be given extra periods beside his
own subjects. Thus a justice could be maintained among the staff
members. The teachers of subjects with more written work and
correction work like English, Urdu, Maths etc should not be over
loaded by the burden of extra periods: The teachers keeping various
records like admission with drawl register, stock register and funds
registers etc. should not be over loaded-by teaching periods.
5. Teaching Staff, equipments and building:- The number
and qualification of teachers, the number of class rooms, lecture
rooms, laboratory and library should be taken into consideration
while framing the time table. The time table for a primary • or middle
school with a qualified staff will be quite different from a school in
which there is only one teacher. Again where the number of class
rooms is less than the number of classes or sections, thus one
roorprshould be used for two classes and the time table should be
arranged as such that one class will be doing reading work while the
other silent calligraphy writing work. The equipment available also
determines the time table; science and drawing rooms especially
require well 'equipped rooms. All the classes should not have to be
the same subject in the same period so that each class may be given
the chance for the utilization of science equipment's and library books
as well.
6. Vacant or free periods for teachers:- All the teachers must
be provided with some free periods. The placing of these free periods
requires important consideration. It would be useless if all the free
periods of the week are collected to one day or two days of the week,
while the remaining week he has to work like a machine, so that the
free periods should be scattered over the whole week as far as
possible. It would be better if the form-masters are given the second
period vacant and the remaining staff should be facilitated by a vacant
period at least after two consecutive teaching periods. An expert
schedule maker could be arrange such a time table in which there will
be one vacant period after each teaching period. A teacher must be
facilitated by at least two vacant periods daily because a human being
is not a machine so he should be given rest for a while definitely. The
vacant period is also not useless hut it is for the preparation to the
next class as well as for the checking / correction of the note books of
the students.
7. The time table should not be rigid but flexible:- It must be
remembered that there should be no rigid time table, as the changes
occurs in the curriculum, teachers transfers or the government
announce half day weekly or two consecutive holidays weekly, for
which the time table can be adjusted. A time table rigid by nature and
mechanical in its operation will reduce a school to a static lifeless
Shelton. So a schedule must he flexible and not rigid to accept
necessary changes.
