Abstract

This article presents findings related to the impact of teacher's in-class responding to disciplinary breaches and the measure of his control of the situation in minimizing the occasions of disciplinary breaches and the tendency of given pupils to disrupt the class and disobey instructions.

 The article analyzes the various modes of behaviors and their causal factors, focusing upon teacher-pupil relationship and its linkage to the evolvement and solution of disciplinary problems. It also explains the lack of practical experience and guidance in teachers' preparatory programs which compromises their ability to adequately respond to disciplinary breaches of whatever origin. The article also presents the general assumptions regarding the influence of organizational structure and functioning mode on such problems and the need to recognize and address social and personal aspects.

 The article proceeds to present findings of other studies and ministerial reports indicating a vast range of other external and internal factors affecting pupils' behavior and teachers' responses. It also points out the connection between teachers didactic methods and their class management style to the class climate and teacher-pupil relationship.

 In this study, the researcher found that there is a significant statistical difference in behavioral modes between pupils residing in rural area, and pupils residing in urban areas.
