Discipline in the 21st Century: Humanistic Strategies from a Student Perspective

Abstract

Based on Interpretivis ontological it shows that not only the voice of the teacher has an important role
in the application of school discipline. The voice of the students also has an important role in the policy as students
are the main actors who have the experience of following school discipline rules. This study aims to examine in
depth the application of school discipline that uses humanistic models by looking at students' views or voices.
Because the school discipline rules have been made only by those who have the school without involving students
in making school discipline rules. The research was carried out at one of the schools in East Java. As for the
participants of this study, 20 students consisting of 14 female students and male students on the condition of the
10-12 classmates who were ready to be the study participants. Using the intended sampling especially the
maximum variation will make it easier for students to look at students' views freely, openly and different. The
findings of this study show that students want to be guided by teachers, approached, treated well according to the
situation, and teachers speak well and politely even though students have violated school discipline rules. Based
on the findings of the research taken from the students' voice, students feel more comfortable, safe and calm when
the application of school discipline uses individual fulfillment. The students' expectations are in line with the
character of the Humanistic School discipline model or the fulfillment of the individual triggered by Newton 1980.
For the next study it is not only the voice of the student, but the voice of the teacher is also important in digging
more in what strategies are implemented by the teacher in disciplining students. There is a good work between
teachers and students in determining the school's disciplinary rules that will inspire education, school heads,
teachers and students.
