CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

I. Background of the study

Discipline is the key to attain and achieved our goals in life. We as a future educators, discipline and

academic performance are the core in today’s education. While in students learning, discipline has a very

important role in the life of every individual. Discipline is also the ability to control on our feelings

and do right thing at right time as well as overcome the weaknesses of every individual. Life without

discipline is incomplete and unsuccessful.

Discipline in academic performance of the SHS students is one of the most important key in education.

Students must know the importance of discipline into their academic performance and how can affect and

influence it into their studying. Descriptive behavior is one of the concern in schools and parents, and to

the fellow students whose education may be affected. Lack of discipline is called indiscipline, it is a any

form of misbehavior which a student can display in several ways (dis-obedience, destruction of school

property, poor attitudes to learning, immoral behavior, drug abuse, stealing, and so on…. ). According to

gitome et al., where there is good discipline, there is improved academic performance.

Learners should have a right discipline, and they should know what are the impact of discipline role to

their academic performance, because discipline is a self-improvement practice. In other word, discipline is

vital for students academic performance.

II. Statement of the problem

Specifically it will answer the following questions;

1. What is the demographic profile of the students in terms of:

1. 1 Gender and
1. 2 Age?
2. What is the level of the academic performance of students?
3. What is the level of discipline role and academic performance of the students?
4. Is there a significant relationship between discipline role and academic performance?

III. Objectives of the study

This study generally centers itself on the impact of discipline role to the academic performance of the SHS

students in colegio de las navas laboratory high school, specifically it will seek to;

1. The importance of discipline role in students life.

2. Identify the impact of discipline to the academic performance of the SHS students.
3. Find out if there is a significant relationship between discipline role and the academic

performance.

IV. Significance of the study

The students have a different behavior based on how their parents educate them, but then the school should

trained and teach students to become a better one, when it is all about disciplined behavior. The

1
 significance of this study is to determine what is the importance of discipline, what are the impact of

discipline and how it affect to the academic performance of the SHS students.

V. Scope and limitation

This study is limited to the SHS students in colegio de las navas. SY:2022-2023. And it is focused on the

impact of discipline role to the academic performance of the SHS students.

 Theoretical/conceptual framework

 Paradigm

VI. Theoretical Framework

This study was conversant by McGregor’s theory X and Y which is substitute to the

classical organizations theory of Max Weber about organization (Okumbe, 1998).

Theory X refers to a set of assumption about behavior of people at work it viewed a

school as an organization composed of teachers, students and non-teaching staff who

use discipline as a means to enforce external demands for responsible behavior in

achieving the desired organizational goals and objectives these group need discipline

by setting rules and regulations and punishments to lawbreaker. The use of

punishment in schools is to instill discipline and is melted on student who violates

the agreed rules and regulations in schools.

Theory Y viewed a school as an organization with leaders as person who work

effectively by efficiently apply leadership skills so as to gain willing support from

teachers, students and non-teaching staff through the use of rules and regulations set

by management (Okumbe, 1998).McGregor’s Theory X and is Y help education

managers to identify extreme form of management style which can be used for

effective management of rules and regulations, disciplinary actions mainly punishments

and time management especially when administering punishments in the school.

VII. Conceptual framework

 Figure 1. Conceptual framework

Figure 1. Presents the conceptual framework of the study. It consists of two variables. Discipline role as

an independent variable and academic performance as the dependent variable.

In figure 1. Discipline role as independent variable is an essential element in any educational institution,

it also plays a vital role in the acquisition of sense of responsibility in learners as well as educators.

Discipline in school is a very important aspect towards academic excellence of the students. This improves

the character of the students and they become strong as well as reliant. Discipline even develops the

analytical skills of the students. So, they can exploit their skills.

Another variable, academic performance is the extent to which student has achieved in their short or long-

term educational goals. Commonly measured through examinations or continuous assessments but there is no

general agreement on how it is best evaluates. Academic performance have linked to differences in

intelligence and personality.

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES

I. Related literature

The literature reveals that student indiscipline is experienced in schools globally (Ali et al.,

2014; Moyo, Khewu,

4
& Bayaga, 2014; Omote et al., 2015; Rahimi & Karkami, 2015; Yahaya et al., 2009). A study in West

Virginia

in the United States of America (USA) revealed that about 29.6% of 160,480 students (from grade 3

to 11) had

one or more referrals for inappropriate behaviors (Whisman & Hammer, 2014). In Africa, researchers

have

pointed out the seriousness of indiscipline in schools in various countries. The countries include

Ghana (Gyan,

Baah-Korang, Mccarthy, & Mccarthy, 2015), South Africa (Marais & Meier, 2010; Masitsa, 2008),

Botswana

(Garegae , 2008), Nigeria (Okiemute ,2011; Nakpodia, 2010: Umezinwa & Elendu ,2012), and Tanzania

(Yaghambe & Tshabangu ,2013). Umezinwa and Elendu for instance, observed that indiscipline among

learners

in Nigeria was high and experienced at all levels including primary schools. In Kenya, lack of

discipline in

schools has been one of the challenges facing schools (Njoroge & Nyabuto , 2014). The Kenya

National

Examinations Council (KNEC) revealed that between 90% and 100% of teachers in primary schools in

Kenya

encountered disciplinary problems among their pupils (KNEC, 2010).

II. Related Studies

According to whisman and Chapman (2013),Four recommendations they have offered based on an analysis

of school discipline data from the 2012-2013 school year.1)Encourage diligence among schools in

accurately reporting discriptive behaviors,2) Implement positive discipline approaches and

alternatives to suspension,3)Provide appropriate behavioral interventions in the context of a

three-tiered framework,and,4)Further investigate and build capacity to minimize subgroup

disparities in discipline practices.Based on the findings of this study,these recommendations stand

and their implementation seems even more urgent in view of the impact of disciplinary involvement

on academic performances.

Despite having these standards in place,the result of this study and it's precedecessor (Whisman

and Chapman,2013) demonstrate an ongoing need for improvement.Our findings add weight to

recommendations for schools to interview early to implement positive discipline approaches and

alternatives to suspension and to deliver behavioral interventions in the context of a multi tiered

intervention framework to reduce students engagement in inappropriate behaviors.

III. Similarities and differences

The study of whisman and Chapman(2013),they offered positive discipline recommendations based on an

analysis of school discipline data from the 2012-2013 school year.Based on the findings of this

study,their recommendations stand and their implementation seems even more urgent in view of the

impact of disciplinary involvement on academic performances.

The similarities between the study of whisman and Chapman(2013) and the present study,are both aims

to identify the impact of discipline to the Academic performance of the students.

While the difference,Whisman and Chapman(2013) study used and offered positive discipline

recommendations to encourage students to engage in appropriate behaviors to view the impact of

5
 behavior disciplinary involvement to their academic performance,while the present study used

instrument to identify the impact of discipline to the Academic performance among Senior high

school students in Colegio de Las navas.

CHAPTER III

to quantity the problem and understand how prevalent it is by
looking for projectable results to a larger population.
III. Variables of the study
The Independent variables of the study will include the
name,age,sex,civil status of the respondents of this
study,while the dependent variables of this study will be the
Impact of discipline to the Academic performance of the
students.
IV. Population and sampling
The target population of the study involves SHS student. Using
the formula’s the researchers calculated the sample size. The
researchers got 20 as the sample size. Hence, in answering the
questionnaire 20 students answered questionnaire are expected
to return.
Among the specific random/probability sampling techniques, the
study used simple random sampling to determine the
respondents. This sampling was used to ensure a fairly equal
selection on the population size and in accordance to the
requirements of the research study.
V. Respondents of the study
The target respondents of this study will include all senior
high school students both Grade 11 and Grade 12 level.Complete
Enumeration approach are used,there are be a total of 20
participants for this study,10 Students from Grade 11 and
another 10 students from Grade 12.

are used to collect data on the Impact of discipline to the
Academic performance of the Selected Students.Since it's a
Christmas Break the researcher decided to choose online survey
to collect data from the SHS students,and ask them a
permission to answer the questionnaire through Online
communication.Then the Researchers personally message and
administer the questionnaires to the respondents through
Online Survey.
The data will be retrieved,consolidated,tabulated,analyzed and
will be interpreted using the appropriate statistic tools.
IX. Statistical treatment of data:
The information was analyzed using descriptive and inferential
statistics. Descriptive statistics (e. g frequencies, mean)
help to describe and understand the features of the specific
data by giving the sample and measures of data. It was
computed for the credibility and reliability testing of the
instruments. Computing for the Pearson product moment
coefficient of correlation (r) and t-value was applied to the
data in measuring the significant relationship between the two
variables. The results were then presented tables for easiness
of understanding and analysis.
