Abstract
This exploratory study was designed to investigate secondary school teachers' perceptions of pupil disruptive behaviour in the classroom, and to classify teachers on the basis of their beliefs in classroom discipline. In order to do so, the study attempted to answer the following questions: 1. To w'hat extent is length of teachinG experience a factor in influencing the teacherst perceptions of pupil disruptive classroom behaviour? 2.. Is there a correlation between teacherts sex and perception of pupil disruptive classroom behaviour?3. 1ihat kinns of beliefs do secondary school teachers have on classroom discipline? The study was undertaken out of the need to make known the pupil behaviours which teaohers, working in impoverished classroom condi tionsp perceive a.s seriously disruptive. Since such behaviours have a bearing on curriculum implementation and if :1ierarchically conceptualized, they could be of practical and theoretical value to teachers and education policy makers. The study was also prompted by the need to fill an existing gap in litera~lre as no study of this nature focusing on classroom discipline pr0blems has been done in Zambia.
