Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to investigate the causes of student indiscipline in the classroom and how this issue has been perceived in relation to other demographic criteria such as income class group, educational background, culture, family discipline, spirituality, food preference, and so on. The reasons for indiscipline have been classified into four categories: factors relating to the students, teachers, institutions, and society that compromise students’ ability to learn in the classroom. Methodology – Explorative and descriptive research design used for a sample size of 500 from respondents of Delhi using convenience sampling. Findings & Suggestions – Factors of student indiscipline has been reported in the study are attention seeking and peer appreciation, disorganized families a lack of dependency on the instructor, the teacher’s leniency, poor communication, low student–teacher ratio, poor infrastructure, deteriorating social values. The same students have been found to be involved in a variety of indisciplined activities. In comparison to students from service families, students from business families complain more about poor infrastructure and believe it is one of the most significant causes of indiscipline. Personality development classes per week can address the indiscipline problem. Scope & Limitations – Research has not covered the outside class room indiscipline as a theoretical concept deficient and limited in scope in private and deemed universities as also higher educational institutions in India. Time dimension of study is cross-sectional which cannot predict any pattern.
