Corporal punishment can be defined as"The use of physical force intended to cause pain, but not injury, for the purpose of correcting or controlling a child’s behavior" Straus and Stewart (1999). It may be of various types such as slapping, pinching, punching, smacking, kicking, and shaking as well as impel through different objects like wooden sticks, belts, pins and different hurting postures. Punishments termed over here are also injurious to the physical, mental and personality development of the children. It affects their mentality. It may result in harmful side effects which become the risk for child development in schools. They become a hazard to society. In previous times children were being treated in a very brutal way and it put a very bad effect on their personalities. Their performance became deficient. Some experiments proved that a child grows more in a friendly environment rather than a cruel one. So keeping this in view, physical punishments have been banned in some territories. The purpose of current research work is also to throw light on the issue that how physical torture fractures the personalities of children studying at primary, middle and secondary schools. They cannot focus on their studies. They show offensive behavior in their daily routine life in a society. So, the present study is a directive path for the teachers and parents that how they can adopt substitute ways to enhance the students' capabilities without using physical punishments....Preview Download Preview +Other Education project topics and materials you might be interested in»The effect of continuous assessment on academic performance of students in school (a case study of Okitipupa local government area of Ondo state)»Strategies for improving low academic performance in English language in secondary schools»The use of extensive reading in promoting communication competence in secondary school»Influence of social media on the performance of secondary school students as perceived by teachers»The effect of overpopulation on the academic performance of students - a case study of Uselu secondary school, Benin City»Effect of drill and practice on the academic achievement of students in English language in junior secondary schools»Factors affecting the effective implementation of continuous assessment in Oredo local government area of Edo state»The problems of primary school education in Kano State»Factors affecting the implementation of universal basic education in some selected primary schools»Effect of school environment on the academic performance of primary school students»Efficacy of mastery learning on retention and performance in identified threshold concepts in chemistry among secondary school students in Kano municipal, Nigeria»Cultism in Nigeria's tertiary institutions - a case study of Lagos state university»Factors associated with the mass failure of students in integrated science in secondary schools»Impact of principal’s leadership style on students’ academic performance in some selected secondary schools of Gwale local government area, Kano state»The impact of language laboratory for effective teaching and learning of oral English in junior secondary school in Aninri local government area
