My action research plan will involve the study of two very different approaches to discipline. The study will take place on my campus.
The target of the study will be two different first grade classrooms.
My sample size will be two first grade classrooms. One classroom is using love and logic as its discipline approach. The other classroom uses a more traditional discipline management approach.
I will collect data from the two teachers through interviews, behavior sheets and office referrals. I will compare the two different discipline approaches to determine if behavior modification is taking place.
Action Research Questions
1. How is the approach to discipline using love and logic different than that of a more traditional approach?
2. Has the use of love and logic made a difference in discipline issues?
3. Does the use of love and logic lead to behavior modification?
4. Which discipline technique has the greatest impact on boys?
