| dc.description.abstract | This research aimed to explore the disciplinary problems and their management at Kokebe Tsibah Secondary School in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Through a qualitative research approach, the study focused on the prevalent issues of absenteeism and lateness among students. The researcher used the snow-ball sampling method and data was collected through interviews with teachers, students, and school administrators, as well as focus group discussion with guidance and councilors and document analysis of grade 11 students. The findings revealed that absenteeism and lateness were significant disciplinary problems at the school. Factors contributing to these issues included students' lack of motivation, parental neglect, school climate, parental economic background, and educational policies. The study concludes that addressing these underlying causes is crucial for effective disciplinary management and improving the overall school environment, and ineffective school management practices. The study recommends strategies such as parental involvement programs, student counseling services, providing students with academic and social support services and stricter attendance policies to address these challenges and improve the overall disciplinary environment at the school. Keywords: disciplinary problems, school management, absenteeism, lateness, school climate, parental background, educational policies. | |
