This practicum proposes to address the vexing problem of student indiscipline within the school in general and the classroom in particular. Great levels of concern have been expressed by educators, policy makers and general public opinion over the alarming state of criminal activity, perpetrated by youths in our country. Indiscipline must be recognized as a complex phenomenon, in terms of its expressions and causes, as well as its meanings within a social, psychological, ethical, legal and pedagogical context. It affects the climate of the school and disrupts learning, leading to long-term negative consequences for both the school and the wider community.
