Strategies for curbing maladjustment behaviour in public primary school pupils

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Maladjustment behavior in public primary school pupils is a significant concern that can impede academic performance and social development. This research project aims to explore effective strategies for curbing maladjustment behavior in public primary school pupils. The study will utilize a mixed-methods approach, including qualitative interviews with teachers, parents, and students, as well as quantitative surveys to gather data on the prevalence and impact of maladjustment behavior. The research will investigate various factors contributing to maladjustment behavior, such as family dynamics, peer relationships, school environment, and individual characteristics of the students. By understanding the root causes of maladjustment behavior, the study aims to identify targeted interventions that can effectively address and reduce these behaviors in public primary school pupils. One key aspect of the research will be to examine the role of teachers in recognizing and addressing maladjustment behavior in the classroom. Teachers play a crucial role in creating a positive and supportive learning environment, and their ability to identify and respond to maladjustment behavior can have a significant impact on student outcomes. Through interviews and surveys with teachers, the study will explore best practices and strategies that teachers can implement to address maladjustment behavior effectively. In addition to teacher strategies, the research will also investigate the role of parents and families in supporting students with maladjustment behavior. Family dynamics and parental involvement can play a significant role in shaping a child's behavior and emotional well-being. By engaging with parents through interviews and surveys, the study aims to identify ways in which families can be involved in interventions and support strategies for their children. Furthermore, the research project will explore the perspectives of the students themselves on maladjustment behavior and its impact on their academic and social experiences. By including student voices in the research, the study aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and experiences faced by public primary school pupils with maladjustment behavior. Overall, this research project seeks to contribute valuable insights into effective strategies for curbing maladjustment behavior in public primary school pupils. By addressing the root causes of maladjustment behavior and identifying targeted interventions, the study aims to support the well-being and academic success of students in public primary schools.
