dc.description.abstractThis study examined the effects of corporal punishment (CP) in Zanzibar primary schools. It identified, discussed and analyzed data on various effects of CP on disciplining and academic performance of primary school pupils obtained from 125 study participants. Using a comparative case study design, the study focused on four primary schools- two randomly selected and two purposely selected pilot schools under alternative means to discipline in Southern Region of Unguja. Data were collected using questionnaire as the main instrument of data collection, coupled with interviews, documentary review and observation. Data were analyzed using t- test (2- tailed) to compare the two pilot schools under alternative means to discipline and the other two schools that were not under the project. Overall results indicated that CP was poorly managed in schools not under alternative means to discipline project and that there is community including teachers and parents awareness on alternative means to discipline pupils. The study also recommended teacher training on alternative techniques to discipline pupils in primary schools in Zanzibar and Tanzania in general.en_US
