Effective discipline in industrial arts
Abstract
Scope of Study: The first part of this report is devoted to history and philosophy of industrial arts. The report starts with early philosophies and history. It tells of the movements which developed into the present industrial arts program. Objectives and current philosophies are quoted and developed by the writer. The second part of this report is devoted to a study of effective discipline in industrial arts. An attempt has been made to determine the underlying causes of poor classroom control, make recommendations to improve causative factors, and to give authoritative comments on disciplinary measures with elaboration by the author based on general findings of his study. It is believed that this information will be of value to industrial arts teachers and students who are preparing to enter the field. The material for this report was taken from current books and periodicals in the Oklahoma A. and M. College library. Conclusions and Summary: Effective classroom control has its foundations in good teacher planning, preparation, and delivery. other contributing factors are a neat, clean, attractive shoproom, and student participation in the management and operation of class activities. Whenever possible factors should be removed which later may make disciplinary action necessary. When control problems arise, disciplinary action should be suited to each individual personality. All disciplinary actions should be based on the democratic principles upon which this country is founded.
