Abstract
The purpose of this study is to look into and examine the ways that instructors might use to manage pupil discipline in secondary schools in Namibia's Hardap region. In this investigation, a qualitative case study design was used. Six secondary schools provided information. Data for this study was acquired from 24 participating teachers at six secondary schools via semi-structured individual interviews and an open-ended questionnaire. The investigation revealed referrals, detention, expulsion, and suspension as strategies used by teachers in managing learner discipline in their respective schools, as well as talking to learners, violation system, involving learners in the drafting of school and classroom rules, involvement of other stakeholders, and disciplinary committee. After the ban on corporal punishment in schools, it became critical to learn what tactics teachers are adopting to discipline students, according to the findings of this study. Evidence-based disciplinary tactics or interventions should be employed to address the problem of lack of learner discipline, according to the authors.
