Publisher Summary This chapter describes discipline in an educational setting. The social situations in which school children and teachers meet are quite specific ones. They are created for the purpose of ensuring the education of the children. The effectiveness with which this particular process is going on is the standard by which the quality of the discipline and the relationships among the parties concerned must be judged. If the characteristics of education and the process by which it is carried on are as complex as has been suggested, one of the essential features of good discipline must be the flexibility of the behavior associated with it. The relative importance of the principles of order and discipline in controlling the behavior of a class is greatly influenced by the cast of temperament of the individual teacher, which may range from the extremely authoritarian to the very liberal, but even within the general trend, which he sets one way or the other, there may well be many fluctuations. |
