WHAT IS DISCIPLINE ?

In everyday life we often hear people say that X is the people who have a high discipline, while the Y of the less disciplined. A person who usually have high specific discipline to the person who always comes on time, adhere to the rules, behave in accordance with the norms that apply, and the like. Conversely, a less disciplined people who are usually directed to people who can not or does not obey the rules and regulations apply, either from the community (convention-informal), government regulations or set by a particular institution (organizational-formal).
A student in the learning activities in schools will not be separated from the various rules and order imposed on the school, and each student is claimed to be able to behave in accordance with the rules and disciplinary regulations in force in the school. Compliance and adherence to the various students and disciplinary rules which apply in the normal school students called discipline. While regulation, order, and various other provisions that attempt to manage the behavior of students called the school discipline. School discipline is a business school to keep students' behavior in order not to deviate and can encourage students to behave in accordance with the norms, rules and order applicable in the school. According to Wikipedia (1993) that school discipline "refers to students complying with a code of behavior often known as the school rules." The definition of school rules (school rule), such as rules about dress standards (standards of clothing), the accuracy of the time, social behavior and ethics study / work. Understanding of school discipline sometimes applied also to provide penalties (sanctions) as a consequence of violations of rules, although sometimes a controversy in applying the method pendisiplinannya, so stuck in the physical form of the error treatment (physical maltreatment) and the error psychological treatment (psychological maltreatment), as disclosed by Irwin A. Hyman and Pamela A. Snock in his book "Dangerous School" (1999).

With regard to the purpose of school discipline, Maman Rachman (1999) revealed that the purpose of school discipline are: (1) provide support for the creation of deviant behavior that is not, (2) encourage students to do the good and true, (3) help students understand and adjust with environmental demands and avoid doing things that are forbidden by the school, and (4) students learn life with the habits of good and useful for him and the environment. Meanwhile, with the quote thought Moles, Joan Gaustad (1992) points out: "School discipline has two main goals: (1) Ensure the safety of staff and students, and (2) create an environment conducive to learning." Meanwhile, Wendy Schwartz (2001) states that "the goals of discipline, once the need for it is determined, should be to help students accept personal responsibility for their actions, understand why a behavior change is necessary, and commit themselves to change." This senada raised by Wikipedia (1993) that the goal of school discipline is to create security and a comfortable learning environment, especially in the classroom. In the classroom, if a teacher is not able to apply discipline with both the students may become less motivated and have a particular emphasis, and learning atmosphere to be less conducive to the learning achievements of students.
Keith Devis said, "Discipline is the action to enforce management standarts organization" and therefore need to develop preventive and corrective discipline. Preventive discipline, namely the students' efforts to follow and comply with regulations. With that addition, students can be disciplined and maintain itself against the existing regulations. Corrective discipline, which is directing the effort to keep students comply with the regulations. For those who violate the sanctions to be given lessons and improve themselves and thus maintain the existing rules.
Discuss the discipline of the school can not be released to the issue of negative student behavior. Negative behavior that occurred among students in the youth of late seems to have very mengkhawarirkan, such as: free sex life, involvement in drugs, gang and various motor actions that menjurus towards other criminals, who can not only harm themselves, but also harm the public.

Form and behavior of students is influenced by various factors, among others, environmental factors, family and school. Could not be denied that the school is one of the dominant factors in shaping and influencing behavior of students. A student in the school interact with the teachers who educate and mengajarnya. Attitude, example, the act and words of the teachers who see and hear and are considered by both students can seep in to the entrance in the heart and its impact sanubarinya sometimes exceed the influence of her parents at home.
