1. Overview of the study
This research review is about How can We Improve School Discipline .The article was
collected is written by David Osher , George G.Bear , Jeffrey R.Sprague and Walter Doyle .
This article has been chosen for my research . It is about The Factor and the Way to Improve
School Disciplin Among Students in SMK Sultan Alauddin Abdul Aziz Shah , Shah Alam .
Since lately, discipline problems among students is rampant. No matter boy or girl will occur in the
problems of discipline among them. Among them, school truancy, tardiness to school, smoking, the
problems of extortion, addiction problems, serious social problems.
This article surveys three approaches to improving school discipline practices and student
behavior , ecological approaches to classroom management , schoolwide positive behavioral supports and
social and emotional learning .
The focus improving school discipline into classroom management focuses on improving the
efficacy and holding power of the classroom activities in which students participate . The perspective of
classroom management is define what constitutes classroom order at a given moment and hold those

to Doyle , 2006 , norms, rules and interpersonal relationships play a part in the overall picture of
classroom management part in the overall of classroom management .
The classroom management is creating position for students involvement in curricular events and
attention ,on the classroom group and on the direction , energy and flow of activity system that organize
and guide collective action in classroom environments . In my opinion that the emphasis in on
cooperation , engagement , motivation and students learning to be part of a dynamic system , rather than
on compliance , control and coercion . According to Evertson & Emmer, 1982 , a classroom discipline
practice consists of these brief often unobtrusive remainders to get back on track .
An ecological approach deals with school discipline by increasing the strength and quality of
classroom activities .Classroom activities encourages self-discipline by educating students about the
possible through cooperation and coordinated action with others . I’m agree that the ecological
approached provides the essential conditions for caring , support , clear expectations and guidance that
foster healthy student development and motivation and also the management of the setting has concurrent
limitations in the face of strong student resistance to participation in classroom activities .
In this research , Schoolwide Positive Behavioral Support (SWPBS) suggest that can prevent
many of the problems that arise in school settings . According to Metzler, Biglan , Rusby , & Sprague ,
2001 , and Grossman 1997 , the described components have documented reductions such as antisocial
behavior , vandalism , and aggression .
All information of the article has further strengthened's goal is to measure and factor in student
discipline problems in schools. Therefore, educators and parents is very instrumental to overcome
students discipline .
2. A Description of The Methodology
This article was concentrated among students in New York school . The article was focused of
sanctions and punishment such as office referrals , corporal punishment suspensions and expulsions . For
example , at least 48% of public schools took a serious disciplinary action against a student during 2005 –
2006 . Among these action , 74% were suspensions lasting 5 days ,5% were expulsions , and 20% were
transfers to specialized school . According to Bear ,2005 , punishment is complex and include
developing student self –discipline .
The purposed of this study was to identify the cause of the problem of school discipline and
measures to deal with discipline problems. In order to realized the ultimate objectives, approach the
researcher was implemented observations field studies. The data collected according by observation of
school in New York among teachers and students .
Research suggest that school can establish clear expectations for learning and positive behavior
fair discipline and may builds on a solid research base to design alternatives to ineffective administrative ,
teaching and management practices in a school .
3. An Evaluation
Actually , the author doesn’t adequately establish the significance of the research question at all .
This is because the author more elaborate related the theory ,the factor of students discipline and
the way to improve school discipline .
Yes . The methods of data collection and analysis appropriate to the research questions . For
example , at least 48% of public schools took a serious disciplinary action against a student
during 2005 – 2006 . With discipline problems occur such as skipping school, smoking and so
will result in a percentage increase. The data collected will be analyzed. However, the question
whether the percentage of 48%, decreases disciplinary problems? Therefore, researchers
conducted a study based on the opinion of all teachers as well as parents and if the situation gets
worse then that proactive measures are taken.
Yes . the study’s conclusion reasonable , given the methods of data collection and analysis .
However , it is really wide, but the most effective study is focused on one part. For example,
specific to one school only. The population of the public will be collated into a much smaller
scope of a sample of at least 30 students. With the number of students that can at least find out the
cause of the problem of school discipline as well as the opinion of teachers and parents to keep
track of the most effective measures to overcome the problem of discipline in students.
No . there are a lot of significant methodological strength in the study .For example , the
researcher mostly associate Schoolwides Positive Behavioral Supports(SWPBS) and Social
Emotional Learning (SEL) as approach to discipline .
Yes. I have see the ethical concerns with this study .The evidence that the researcher have
regarding mission and purpose with suggestion on Schoowides Positive Behavioral
Supports(SWBP) and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) with discipline approach and developing
self-discipline approach to improve school discipline .
4. Discussion of Implications
According to the article , the researcher was surveys three approaches to improve school
discipline practices and student behavior which is schoolwide positive behavioral supports (SWPBS) and
social emotional learning (SEL) .SEL programs share several common features such as curriculum
lessons ,integrated throughout the existing curriculum , social skills and moral development .Apart from
that , the researcher provide for students to apply , practice and further develop social , emotional and
moral competencies .
In my research will be carried out later is pretty much the approach that was used in the
researchers in this article. Nevertheless, I still study and my findings based on a study conducted at the
school I'm going to find out the real factors of discipline problems.
