ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to determine the relationship between discipline and the academic
performance of pupils in Primary schools by taking the case of Lambwe Division in Suba
District. The study particularly sought to establish the relationship that exists between
discipline and the poor academic performance of pupils in Primary Schools.
The study was conducted by correlation research design, data collected during the month of
May 2008 using questionnaire responses from 200 respondents consisting of 160 pupils, 20
assistant teachers, 5 head teachers and 15 class parents’ representatives randomly selected from
the accessible population. The data was analyzed using correlation and percentage distribution
technique using bar graphs.
The study establishes that there is significant relationship between the degree of discipline and
the level of academic performance and that the pupils have been performing poorly in the
National Examinations due to the rampant indiscipline prevalent in the schools. The study
concludes that discipline must be improved in our schools and therefore recommends that some
strategies be used like involving pupils in planning and decision making of matters, allowing
free discussion between pupils, teachers and parents and identifying and rewarding distinguished well behaved pupils in the school among others.
