Conclusion: Corporal Punishment is still prominent in
the present society- as supported by newspaper article by Sudderuddin (2009) “To cane or not to cane”
Our research has shown that despite accepting views of corporal punishment as a discipline strategy, it may not be parents’ preferred discipline method to improve their child’s academic results.
Discussions
Limitations of the study Only a certain section of the population
used hence results might not give a full insight of the whole population’s views.
There may be a measurement error, as parents who participated in the research may not portray an accurate portrayal of what we tried to measure.
Discussions
Implications for future research
Perhaps a study could be implemented using positive discipline strategies to improve children’s academic performances.
Therefore, we can do a comparative study between this and the future paper to deduce which discipline strategy parents use often.
