| Summary: | The lack of student discipline continues to be a major concern among educators and the general public. A researcher-developed opinion survey concerning the frequency of, sources of, and interventions for student misbehavior was completed by a sample of 312 students and 106 teachers from four private American-type schools located in Caracas, Valencia, and Maracaibo, Venezuela. Their responses were subjected to a series of one-way analyses of variance to determine if significant differences of opinion existed among the following groups: (1) female and male students; (2) 7th, 9th, and 11th graders; and (3) students and teachers. The female students and ninth graders perceived that student misbehavior occurs significantly more frequently than the other student sub-groups, but no such difference existed between the composite student group and the teachers. Although no significant differences regarding misbehavior sources or interventions were detected among the student sub-groups, the composite student group differed significantly from the teachers regarding both sources and interventions for student misbehavior. The need for increased emphasis on student participation in defining and implementing discipline policies and replicating the study with a more heterogeneous population sample were the major recommendations of the study.
