Abstract
In this study, communication will be defined as
a two way process of reaching mutual understanding in which participants not only
exchange information, new ideas and feelings, but also create and share meaning. All
forms of communication require the same basic elements, the sender of information,
the message and the recipient. The sender and the recipient must share a common
language or means of understanding each other for communication to succeed.
According to Hornsby (‘1989), discipline is the practice of training people to obey rules
and orders and punish them if they do not comply with the controlled behavior or
situation that result from that behavior. Bahemuka (1998) defines discipline as a means
to bring control, training to be obedient and order in drills. However, in this study
discipline was conceptualized as regular patterns of behavior exhibited by students
towards school activities such as respect to administration, pregnancy cases, theft
cases, moral standards, participation in school activities time management, vandalism
etc. While discipline outside school was investigated in terms of how students related to
his/ her parent relatives, community, government administration, church etc.
