Abstract

This research work entitled "Disruptive Behaviour of Student in Secondary Level" is an attempt to analyze and describe students' disruptive behaviour of secondary level student. The objective of this study is to explore disruptive behaviour of secondary level student and to find out the teachers' perception towards disruptive behaviour of them. It is a qualitative and quantitative study based on the triangulation method approach, descriptive and narrative analysis of data. The collected data transcribed, analyzed and interpreted descriptively then analytically using data triangulation process. I transcribed the interview data in the written form. All the collected data were presented. I associated objectives wise data while analyze them. These data were analyzed qualitatively. However, the observed data were presented and analyzed quantitatively using tables. Thus, I adopted data triangulation processes to analyze the obtained data to reach my objectives of the study. I collected the data from four community schools of Kathmandu district. The required data were collected by using questionnaire for teachers, observation checklist and focus group discussion with the students. Related literatures, theories, concepts which are relevant to this study have been used to interpret and made reflection over the analyzed information.The total samples were eight teachers, twelve classroom observation and twenty students of grade nine from four schools. This study shows that the disruptive students are the problems to the classroom teacher who are practicing in the classroom. In most of the cases teachers faces difficulty due to disruption in the classroom. Teachers, parents, headmasters and other stakeholders view that disruptions in the classroom are accidental. However, they are the main problem for educational failure. From these view it is clear that disruptive behaviours of the students are inappropriate behaviour that are found in educational settings. They are the attributes of indiscipline students. Through the interview of the headmasters, questionnaires are for teacher, it was found that the students were disruptive in the classroom. Disruptive behaviour might harm to the students' performance and schools performance with teachers' instructions. The observational data shows that the frequent misbehaviours were talking frequently, looking outside through windows and not paying attention to the teacher. Students are not disruptive themselves. There are many reason of such disruptive behaviour. Such as family background, teacher, headmaster, bad friend circle, etc. Disruptive behaviours were one of the striking behaviours which teachers and headmasters were experienced. They realized bitter experiences in course of handling them. They expressed that disruptive behaviour exert negative effect on disruptive students' academic life, teachers' instruction and schools' performance. Headmaster of a school is a key personality. He/she has all the responsibilities to do in a school. So, he/she has the active role to play to enhance the academic scenario. He/she should have incessant care and strict supervision. Teacher should have the knowledge and training about students' motivation and reinforcement. The teacher should be provided the training that makes accountable to the teacher to delegate the role of teacher as a manager. Teacher also should proper methodology to deal in the classroom. Lack of interest of the subject matter may reinforce to behave badly.
