Behaviour change Disciplinary methods Pre-teens Thesis Disciplinary actions are triggered by indiscipline and usually elicit a behaviour change. There seems to be no tool or mechanism for teachers to use when matching disciplinary methods to problem behaviours. The purpose of this study was to investigate behavioural change that occurred in pre-teens following various disciplinary methods used by teachers in Makini Primary School, Nairobi. The specific objectives of the study included identifying common problem behaviours among pre-teens in Makini School, examining the disciplinary methods used by teachers in Makini School, and determining the factors that influenced the disciplinary methods employed. A sample size of 99 respondents (3 administrators, 16 teachers and 80 pre-teens) was selected using stratified random sampling. The study adopted descriptive research design. Questionnaires for teachers and pre-teens and interview guide for the administrator were used to collect data. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science version 23. The study revealed a high likelihood of occurrence of internalizing and externalizing behaviours and some engagement in delinquent behaviours that could disrupt learning among the pre-teens. The study also established that the majority of the teachers were using verbal warnings, and giving extra work to handle problem behaviours. Moreover, the study revealed that disciplinary actions could lead to positive behaviour change among pre-teens. Based on the research findings, parent-teacher collaboration, and guidance and counselling were recommended as effective disciplinary methods to be adopted more widely in the school.
