Rumusan artikel 3a
Discipline with Dignity focuses on long-term behavioral change, rather than quick
fixes. Instead of basing the model on obedience, Curwin and Mendler have chosen to
base the model on responsibility. Consequently, Discipline with Dignity is not founded
on rewards and punishments but on values - the idea of learning right from wrong in
any setting, not just school.
Curwin and Mendler have twelve guidelines for effectively utilizing Discipline with
Dignity in your classroom.
1. Let the students know what you expect. This means establishing and posting clear
rules and consequences.
2. Provide instruction at levels that match student ability. In other words, where is the
dignity in not being able to comprehend the material being learned in the classroom?
Inability to understand will only lead to discipline problems.
3. Listen to what the students are thinking and feeling. Being able to identify with your
students makes them feel important and understood.
4. Use humor. It de-fuses a potentially harmful situation without violence or
accusation. Just make sure not to make students the butt of your jokes.
5. Vary your style of presentation. Doing the same activity for too long makes
students restless and prone to outbursts of inappropriate behavior.
6. Offer choices. Make it seem like the student has some say in what happens. For
example, "You can do your assignment now or during recess."
7. Refuse to accept excuses. This ensures that you treat students equally. If there
are legitimate excuses for late homework, poor behavior, etc., they will need to be
posted along with your expectations.
8. Legitimize behavior that you cannot stop. Generally, if you take something that is
against the rules and make it acceptable, it ceases to be fun for the students.
9. Use hugs and touching to communicate with kids of all ages. Obviously, this must
be used with caution because of sexual misunderstanding, abused students, etc.
However, you want to communicate human warmth and caring, and kind words will
only get you so far.
10. Be responsible for yourself and allow kids to take responsibility for themselves.
11. Realize and accept that you cannot reach every kid. Some of them choose to fail
and this is not your decision.
12. Start fresh everyday. What happened yesterday is finished.
Discipline with Dignity has five goals
1. Effective Communication
2. De-fusing Potentially Explosive Situations
3. Reducing Violence
4. Preparing Children For Their Future
5. Valuing and Protecting Opportunities For Learning
By observing the 12 guidelines listed above, you are one step closer to
accomplishing these goals.










Analisis kajian kes (lampiran 7)
John adalah seorang guru praktikum di sebuah sekolah. Dia telah ditugaskan
untuk mengendalikan kelas yang terdiri daripada 15 orang pelajar. Terdapat
perbandingan yang ketara di antara murid-murid kelas tersebut. Mereka berbeza
dari segi bangsa dan pencapaian akademik. Pada suatu hari, John telah merancang
satu aktiviti yang berbentuk kuiz. Tidak lama selepas itu, John menyedari bahawa
pelajar-pelajar tersebut telah membentuk kumpulan berdasarkan kecemerlangan
akademik dan bangsa. Tiba-tiba terdapat pergaduhan antara pelajar cemerlang
dengan yang kurang cemerlang iaitu Chris dan Richard. John segera meleraikan
mereka. Namun pergaduhan terjadi semula selepas kelas tamat. John terpaksa
meleraikan mereka lagi. John memikirkan apa yang telah terjadi. Akhirnya dia
mengambil keputusan untuk mencari Richard di tempat meletak basikal. Selepas
bertemu dengan Richard, John memberitahunya bahwa dia ingin bercakap denganya,
malangnya Richard berkata bahwa dia tidak ada masa untuk melayan John dan
terus pergi. Pada keesokkan harinya, John memberikan tindakan disiplin kepada
Richard dan mengarahkannya untuk berjumpa dengan penolong kanan Hal ehwal
murid. Setelah selesai hukuman, Richard kembali ke kelas seperti biasa. Namun
kelakuannya semakin buruk. John cuba menerangkan bahawa tindakan disiplin
tersebut adalah kerana dia melarikan diri semasa John berjumpa dengannya di
tempat meletak basikal bukan kerana bergaduh di kelas. Richard berkata bahawa dia
memukul Chris kerana, dia tidak berpuas hati mengapa Chris tidak mendapat
tindakan disiplin sepertinya. John cuba menjelaskan perkara sebenar namun dia
tidak mahu mendengarnya, sebaliknya, dia terus menyanyi sambil berkata kenapa
Chris tidak mendapat hukuman sepertinya.
Richard terus berperangai buruk sehingga John terpaksa memanggil guru lain
untuk menenangkannya. Guru tersebut adalah guru bahasa Inggeris Richard.
Semasa John mengadakan perbincangan bersama guru lain, barulah dia tahu
bahawa Richard adalah pelajar yang mengalami masalah tingkah laku.
