Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to point out how discipline is still a big problem for the inexperienced teacher, and that as a moral issue it is also a perplexing problem confronting the experienced teacher. In the first chapter it shows that a good understanding of psychology is necessary to approach the problem of discipline and that the teacher must have the qualities necessary to make her a leader and an inspiration to those in her charge. In the following chapters the method of instilling good morals and producing healthy moral characters is brought out by means of co-ordination with school subjects and by citation of concrete cases. In the last chapter an attempt has been made to show how good moral action can be brought about by direct moral instruction. As may be expected this subject would require great ability on the part of the teacher as well as a thorough and well-grounded knowledge of the subject at hand. Wherever possible the author of this thesis has tried to picture the changing attitude of school discipline by contrasting the school of yesterday with today. She has also tried to show that the moral phase of school discipline is the means used by the pupil in later life to meet the big problems of the community.
