Assessment Of Indiscipline Behaviours Among Teachers That Influence Students' Behaviour :- Ursula Ngozi A

Abstract

This study assessed teachers' view of indiscipline behaviours exhibited by them that influence students' behaviours. The design of the study was descriptive survey while the sample of330 teachers was got by combination of cluster and simple random sampling techniques from the population of I 093 teachers in Umuahia education zone of Abia State. Two research questions were asked and two null hypotheses formulated. A 20-item restricted response type of researcher developed questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was 0.83. Data were analyzed using mean for research questions and to test for hypotheses. Results show that teachers believe that neither "very often" nor "often" exhibit indiscipline behaviours that can influence the behaviours of their student. However, a significant difference exists between gender and location to their views. It is recommended that stake holders in education come together again to look at indiscipline issues.
