Literature Review: Addressing the Issue of Discipline in Schools
Introduction
The issue of discipline in schools is a crucial aspect of educational success and student development.
Understanding its causes, effects, and potential solutions is important not only for educators and
administrators but also for policy-makers and society at large. This literature review will explore
how discipline can be effectively addressed in schools by engaging with global, continental, and local
perspectives. By examining a wide range of literature, this review seeks to provide a comprehensive
understanding of the topic, highlighting key debates and gaps in current research.
This review focuses on both the theoretical and practical approaches to school discipline, identifying
the primary causes and effects of indiscipline while considering various solutions proposed in
different regions. Global, continental, and local perspectives will be explored, with an emphasis on
the connections between these different contexts. The aim is to provide insights into the broader
debates while offering a detailed evaluation of specific solutions and challenges within different
educational systems. The scope of this review is limited to literature that focuses on the role of
