Abstract

This descriptive-survey study assessed disciplinary problems in Maimbung District's elementary schools (Sulu, Philippines). Using purposive sampling, it surveyed teachers, analyzing data via frequency/percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. Results showed most respondents were female, married, aged 26-35 or older, with 6-10 years of service and college degrees. Teachers strongly agreed on teacher-learner relationships but only agreed on school policies, peer relationships, and home environment. Significant differences in disciplinary problems were found only between genders (regarding school policies) and lengths of service (regarding school policies and peer relationships). High correlations existed between school policies and peer/home environments, and teacher-learner relationships.
