| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to identify factors serving as deterrents to deviant school behavior as perceived by students. Emphasis was placed on the identification of factors students perceived as: 1. Having prevented non-deviant students from deviating from the school's code of conduct 2. Deterrents which may have prevented deviant students from violating the school's code of conduct Questions explored and answered in this study were: 1. How do middle school students perceive deterrents for deviant school behavior? 2. How do parents', teachers', and administrators' efforts affect student school behavior? 3. What can schools do in the area of deterring deviant behavior? 4. What effect, if any, do the fa mil y and/or significant others have on deterring deviant behavior of students? 5. What can students do in the area cf helping themselves and others to practice good behavior? 6. What are some of the causes of deviant school behavior and delinquency? Conclusions: 1. Data from this study revealed that middle school students believe schools can deter deviant behavior by the practical application of good school-home communication, group counseling, good teaching, teacher-student conferences, individual counseling, and extra-curricular activities 2. Deviant school behavior is indicative of many factors: curriculum, teacher performance, administrative performance, horne conditions, emotional disabilities, learning disabilities, in-school management, and extracurricular activities | |
