Abstract: The issue with learner discipline is a worldwide epidemic problem. In South Africa, scholarly studies show increase in the cases of reported learners’ lack of discipline in schools and classroom in particular. This lack of learner discipline can disrupt proper teaching and learning in today’s classroom. The aim of the study was to determine disciplinary measures used by secondary school teachers by investigating how teachers administer these discipline measures in the verge of sustaining a peaceful and disciplined learning environment. This research was guided by the mixed methods approach which employed questionnaires and interviews for the purposes of data collection. n=361 questionnaires were distributed to teachers and only n=20 participants were selected for interviews from the 361 teachers of the quantitative phase. The selection of participants was established through stratified random, convenience and purposeful sampling techniques. Empirically, descriptive and inferential statistics and content analysis informed the findings of this study. It emerged from this study that despite the varieties of disciplinary measures available to teachers after the abolishment of corporal punishment, teachers still put to use only a few of the available measures. The study also reports that most of these measure are not very effective and suitable as corporal punishment. The study concluded that more workshops should be organised for teachers specifically on skills acquisition on the use of accepted disciplinary methods for South African primary schools.
