ABSTRACT

The study focuses on students and examines the social, cultural, educational, and medical

consequences of corporal punishment at home. The major purpose of the study was to see how

corporal punishment at home affected the academic performance of selected grade 11 students.

Corporal punishment has been identified as a barrier to the establishment of a healthy teacher

and student relationship it has an impact on student character, increases dropout rates, impedes

learning, frustrates teachers, decreases interest in research, and encourages pupils to do so.

Across countries and cultures, corporal punishment is associated with a variety of bad outcomes

for children, including physical and mental illness, impaired cognitive and socio-emotional

development, poor educational outcomes, increased aggression, and violent perpetration. These

aggressive disciplinary measures have an influence on students’ academic progress and long-

term well-being, in addition to the infliction of suffering and physical damage that typically

occur from the employment of physical punishment.

CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction

Corporal punishment, often known as physical punishment, is a type of punishment that

is intended to cause bodily pain to a person. When it is used on minors, it may entail spanking or

paddling, especially in family and school environments. If it is inflicted on adults, It is

conceivable that it will be caused for prisoners and slaves assuming it is incurred for grown-ups.

Physical punishment was indicated, which was common in the past. Previously, children were

not the only ones who faced physical punishment. Adults were also subjected to it. Children's

corporal punishment is frequently inhumane or demeaning, and it always compromises their

bodily integrity, shows disregard for human dignity, and lowers self-esteem. However, there are

unique exclusions for violence against minors in the United States.

The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child defines corporal or physical

punishment as any consequence that includes its use of physical restraint and is intended to

generate any sort of pain or distress, regardless whatever how minor. The most of them seem to

have striking children with the fist, a weapon, a whip, or even a shoe. spoon made of wood, etc.

Kicking, shaking, or throwing children, scratching, pinching, biting, pulling hair or boxing ears,

forcing children to stay in uncomfortable positions, burning, scalding, or forced ingestion (for

example, washing children's mouths with soap or forcing them to swallow hot spices) are all

examples of child abuse. The Committee believes that physical punishment is always demeaning.

Other non-physical kinds of punishment are likewise cruel and humiliating, and hence violate the

Convention. Punishment that belittles, humiliates, denigrates, threatens, terrifies, or ridicules the

youngster falls under this category.

Corporal punishment, when administered by a parent to a kid, can be beneficial in

changing a child's conduct. When it comes to workplace safety, physical punishment is

frequently required. If a youngster runs out into the street and is just 2-3 years old and still

learning English, the concept of the sidewalk as a barrier must be clarified before the child is hit

by a car. This is a benefit of physical punishment; it saves a child's life by instilling the fear of

being stung if they do not obey the rules.

Following the administration, a discussion about loving expectations is required. The

children must understand that the discipline is given out of love rather than anger. The children

will not have any lasting sentiments, will not be grounded for weeks, and will understand not to

repeat the conduct.

Frightening children typically remain mute and submit to violence without question.

They occasionally display signals of severe hurt in their conduct, but this frequently goes

unreported, resulting in further violence being perpetrated against them. This can have an impact

on a student's academic achievement. If you are detained, you must begin corporal punishment

at home. Because a child's earliest learning stage occurs at home, the family, namely the parents,

are the child's first instructors. The researchers gave a sneak peek into what this study would

cover in terms of how physical punishment impacts the academic performance of selected grade

11 students.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This study entitled “Corporal Punishment at Home Affecting the Academic performances of

Selected Grade 11 Students of St Clare College School year 2021-2022” aims to determine how

the academic performance of those selected grade 11 students be affected by the use of corporal

punishment at their own home.

Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What is the Demographic profile of the respondents in terms of?

1.1 Age

1.2 Gender

2. Do corporal punishment cause kids in grades 11 to have poor grades in online classes?

3. Is corporal punishment at home an effective approach to motivate grade 11 children to

study harder and achieve well in online classes, or to help them become better students?

4. Do certain grade 11 students suffer corporal punishment in their homes?

5. Does corporal punishment at home have an impact on the academic performance of

those chosen grade 11 students?

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The purpose of this study was to establish the corporal punishment in the home of the student’s

affecting the academic performance in Grade 11 schools in St. Clare College. The study was

conducted under three research objectives. These were:

1. To identify various impacts on corporal punishment on student's academic performance

in grade 11 respondents

2. to identify the alternatives to corporal punishment of grade school students.

3. to analyze how the administration of punishment by parents and guardian affect students’

academic performance.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The importance of this research conducted by the researchers is to give a clear vision,

awareness, and vast knowledge about corporal punishment and how corporal punishment at

home can affect the academic performance of some selected grade 11 students. This study will

be beneficial to the students, parents, teachers, society, future researchers and also the

researchers.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

This chapter presents the related literature and studies both local from foreign and local

sources Those that were included in this chapter helps in familiarizing situation, that are relevant

and similar to the present study.

Historically, many studies have investigated the impact of corporal punishment on the

behavioral and psychological functioning of children. Probably the most prominent, according to

Sara Z. Morris (2007) “One person within this area of research is Murray Straus. In several

studies, he and others found. I have observed a link between corporal punishment and lowered

self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, as well as more aggressive tendencies toward others

(Straus & Kantor, 1994; Strauss and Gimpel (1994).”

“Corporal punishment involves inflicting pain on a child by a parent or guardian in the

home by spanking or slapping, or occasionally with an implement such as belt, slipper, cane or

paddle. In our country, our culture still considers it as part of parental responsibility to discipline the

child. (2011)” Said by Ria Mae Verdolaga, a medical student at the University of the Philippines

College of Medicine. Ria Mae, together with her other fellow “sisters” in the Mu Sigma Phi sorority

have authored a comprehensive dissertation the subject which will be published in the September

issue of H&L (Health & Lifestyle) magazine.

The physical punishment of children, defined as “any punishment in which physical force

is used and intended to cause some degree of pain or discomfort” according to United Nations,

Committee on the Rights of the Child [UNCRC], (2007) is a worldwide issue that has attracted

considerable attention in recent years.

“Corporal punishment was only associated with one desirable behavior, and this was

immediate compliance. However, the study findings were inconsistent, with two of the five

studies showing that corporal punishment was associated with less compliance. The other three

studies were of clinical samples of children who had been referred for problem behaviors. Hence,

the generalizability of their findings is doubtful and suggests that corporal punishment may only

be effective for disobedient and disruptive children according to Gershoff (2002). Gershoff

points out that most parents are not only interested in immediate compliance, but also want

ongoing compliance, and the research shows that this does not necessarily take place and that

there are other unforeseen long-term consequences of corporal punishment.

Globally, corporal punishment is the most prevalent form of violence against children.

The 62 countries revealed that about four in five children, 2-14 years, have experienced violent

disciplinary practices in the home, with country rates ranging between 45 and 95 percent. Violent

forms of discipline are thus still very common. A study conducted by UNICEF (2018).

LITERATURE

Corporal punishment, sometimes known as “spanking,” is one of the most commonly

employed tactics by parents to change their children’s long-term behavior. However, the term

“spanking” is problematic since caregivers’ interpretations vary significantly, and there is often

overlap with what pediatricians believe to be abuse. Despite a large body of data demonstrating

that spanking is ineffective, is a risk factor for more serious forms of physical abuse, and can

harm children’s behavioral and cognitive development in a variety of ways, it remains a

contentious issue in the United States. In the mid-1900s child psychologists either approved of

the use of corporal Punishment by parents or they ignored the topic all together. The protection

of children’s Rights was largely ignored in this time. Although acceptance of corporal

punishment in the Home declined in the 20h century, about 75% of parents in the United States

still support The use of corporal punishment. This number should not be that high. One of the

people who encouraged the decline in the approval of corporal Punishment was Benjamin Spock,

who was influential to the American population. Spock Wrote a book called Baby and Child

Care. In the 1945 edition of this book Spock first Voiced that he was against corporal

punishment in almost every situation. It was later, around 1985, that he came out and said that he

was against parental use of corporal Punishment in every situation. He said that he had many

reasons for believing this, but one was because he did not believe those tactics were effective.

Many people believe that it Was Spock who led to the trend of more “permissive” parenting.

Spock and others pointed Out that there are other childrearing techniques that are not permissive,

but also not Physical. Some of those techniques include: positive punishment, adding a

consequence After an undesired behavior, and negative punishment, taking something away after

an Undesired behavior. Studies have shown that these other techniques can have positive

Results. Maddie Utter (2019)

FOREIGN LITERATURE

“A review of the literature on corporal punishment in The Bahamas, with an emphasis on its use

in schools”

A study conducted by [William J. Fielding and Virginia C. Balance] (2020) concerning

corporal punishment arising from The Bahamas enables us to identify several strands: corporal

punishment is an historically accepted method of controlling children which only recently has

been called into question; school teachers have typically seen corporal punishment as a useful

classroom management tool; there has been unease about its use in schools which has resulted in

its regulation; more recently, there has been evidence of the awareness of the long-term negative

effects of corporal punishment; and the rise of social media has made corporal punishment and

CALOOCAN, METRO MANILA EDUCATION

Zabarte Road, Barangay 172, Northern Caloocan, 1400 Metro Manila

its potential abuses visible to a wider audience. These strands appear to have woven together to

move the country in a direction of outlawing corporal punishment, at least in schools.

The majority of the literature regarding corporal punishment has investigated the harm

associated with spanking and similar discipline. Simons and Su (2013) discovered that corporal

punishment, depending upon the parenting style being employed, can lead to unexpected

negative results including depression, delinquency, and/or poor school performance. For

instance, children of vigilant/punitive parents, distinguished by their high demandingness

(behavioral control) and low responsiveness (warmth and consideration), who employ corporal

punishment were the most likely of the subjects to experience depression. It should be noted that

Simons study suggested that even though spanking did not prove directly beneficial, it did not

necessarily prove detrimental either.

In the Western world, parental corporal punishment generally takes the form of a

spanking. The buttocks are the most popular target of corporal punishment, because they are

protected by fatty tissue; generally, strikes to this area will not cause serious physical injury.

Parents may also use slaps on the wrist or face to discipline a child. However, these areas are

fairly sensitive and hard strikes can cause serious injury. Some caregivers use implements such

as paddles, belts or canes to inflict corporal punishment, but this practice is banned in many

jurisdictions. Expert organizations strongly oppose the use of corporal punishment in homes and

in schools.

ST. CLARE COLLEGE OF DEPARTMENT OF
CALOOCAN, METRO MANILA EDUCATION

Zabarte Road, Barangay 172, Northern Caloocan, 1400 Metro Manila

The American Psychological Association notes that corporal punishment provides only

a temporary change in a child's behavior and tends to be counterproductive, and that no

compelling evidence exists to support the notion that physical strikes can improve a child's

behavior or mental health. In 1998, the American Academy of Pediatrics found that more than 90

percent of parents reported using corporal punishment in the home. October, 2013 updates from

the AAP states that a significant body of research indicates a connection between spanking and

aggressive behavior later. Generally, parents administer this controversial discipline technique in

response to the child's behavior or actions; most often, it takes the form of a spanking. This

method is still used, even though most expert organizations disapprove of its use.

Under the Indian Constitution, violence against children is violative of right to live with

dignity which is integral to right to life under Article 21. Further, corporal punishment serves as

a deterrent to children from attending school and contributes to dropout rate. This goes against

the right to education as a fundamental right guaranteed under Article 21A of our Constitution.

In November 2008, the Gujarat high court had ruled that law does not recognize corporal

punishment to child (Hansmukhbhai Golakdas Shah v. State of Gujarat).

As Banda (2010:2) says, while the physical damage done to the body can be treated, the

emotional and psychological effects can also affect the person deeply. Soneson and Smith

(2005:5) note that compelling research (88 studies) on corporal punishment demonstrates strong

associations between corporal punishment and various negative emotional and psychological

outcomes. The examples of the negative emotional and psychological outcomes are; eroded trust

between parent and child, aggression toward siblings, sadness and anger, crying, fear,

embarrassment, withdrawal and compliance, bullying and disobedience, poor mental health,

weaker internalization of moral values, anti-social behavior, poor adult adjustment, depression,

withdrawal, sleep disturbances, avoidance of school.

Donald D (2015) found in his research that male teacher uses more corporal punishment as

compare to female at secondary school level. In the present research, it was also found that there

in inverse association between physical punishment and academic achievement of students at

elementary school level. The teachers who use corporal punishment, their students achieved low

scores in exam and the teachers who use alternatives of corporal punishment, their students

achieved high scores in exam. On the other hand, the more the use of corporal punishment less

students’ academic achievement, and no corporal punishment the high students’ academic

achievement because corporal punishment is associated with increased mental health problems

including psychological distress, it may lead students to anxiety and depression. The victim

students become vagabond and could not pay their time to their study. Therefore, as a result, low

achievement in exam. In the present research, the researcher also tried to find out the reasons of

corporal punishment.

(Mawhinney and Peterson 1986). Corporal punishment is physiologically as well as

psychologically damaging children’s lives. Since it affects child by not only inflicting physical

pain but also mental harassment, feeling of helplessness, worthlessness, depression, inhibition,

aggression, shame and self-doubt, guilt, social with-drawl, feeling of inferiority, rigidity, lowered

self-esteem, stress and heightened anxiety. Which may reduce his/her self-confidence (Pandey

2001). Corporal punishment has been associated with a variety of psychological and behavioral

disorders in children and adults, including anxiety, depression, withdrawal, low self-esteem,

impulsiveness, delinquency and substance abuse (McCord, 1991: 190-200). It has been

concluded from several literature reviews that corporal punishment is associated with increased

aggression in children (Radke-Yarrow, Campbell & Burton, 1968: Steinmetz. 1979; Becker,

1964: Patterson, 1982). Adolescents who have experienced corporal punishment show higher

levels of depression and feelings of hopelessness as well as an increased propensity to use

violence (Durant et al., 1994). Harsh punishment, including corporal punishment, has been

associated significantly with adolescent depression and distress (McLoyd, Jayaratne, Ceballo, &

Borquez, 1994). Children with behavior, anxiety, or disruptive disorders are more likely to report

previous harsh physical punishment (Goodman et al., 1998).

LOCAL LITERATURE

Across the world, significant numbers of children experience maltreatment, resulting in

life‐long consequences for victims (WHO 2016). Responses to child maltreatment in the Global

South in particular are under researched and under‐conceptualized. In the Philippines, despite the

significance and impact of child maltreatment (Ramiro et al. 2010), policy and research on this

topic remains in its start. Policy to command in this area are given greater boost with increasing

international awareness of the need for children to grow up in safe and stable environments and

to be protected from abuse and to despair (Price‐Robertson et al. 2014), particularly in

circumstances of significant child poverty and deprivation (PSA and UNICEF 2015). In the

absence of reliable data on child maltreatment in the Philippines (Madrid et al. 2013), and

limited understandings of child protection policy approaches, this review provides important

insights into child maltreatment and its responses in the Philippines. It explores conceptions of

child maltreatment and child protection, and provides a review of policy and program

approaches, and in doing so, contributes to future child protection policy agendas in the

Philippines.

The terminology such as child maltreatment, child abuse and despair are often used

interchangeably (AIFS 2015). However, regardless of the specifics of the definitions covering

child maltreatment in any particular jurisdiction, the responses to such circumstances are usually

defined in terms of the broadly understood conception of child protection (Price‐Robertson et al.

2014). For the purposes of this review, child protection is defined by any activity, behavior,

policy, program or law with the aim of protecting children from maltreatment as described

earlier. In the Philippines, legislation identifies children as persons below eighteen years of age

or those over eighteen years of age but who are unable to fully take care of themselves or protect

themselves from abuse, despair, cruelty, exploitation, or discrimination because of physical,

mental disability or conditions” (Saplala 2007, 88). The goal of this study was to look into

Filipino parents' attitudes on and use of physical punishment (CP), as well as the factors that may

influence their use of harsh punishment. Thirty-five parents, ranging in age from 33 to 55 years

old, took part in a group survey in Manila, Philippines. The results indicated that the majority

(61.1%) had experienced physical punishment at home. The most common punishment children

received was pinching (74.5%), followed by beatings (49.7%). The chi-square analysis revealed

that more boys than girls were physically punished (p < 0.05). Mothers were found to be the

most frequent users of physical punishment.

74% (37 of the respondents) agreed that corporal punishment at home had a

significant impact on academic achievement and replied to the survey question.

Their responses taught us more about corporal punishment, their point of view, and other topics.

We came to the conclusion that one of the most obvious positive effects of corporal punishment

is that it establishes clear boundaries and motivates children to behave in school, whereas the

negative effects include increased aggressive and destructive behavior, as well as increased

disruptive behavior in the classroom. As a result, students do not have a healthy sense of

discipline in school or at home. Despite their difficulties, they manage to give and do their best

to complete and fulfill their tasks.

RECOMMENDATION

Based on the foregoing conclusions, the following recommendations are being offered:

According to the researchers, smacking nor slapping is incorporated in a parent's heritage.

The researchers prescribed communities to be mindful and demonstrate whether corporal

punishment is destructive to youngsters. Some parents benefit from being able to raise their

children through corporal punishment. Corporal punishment is being used by parents to educate

their children so that they would not repeat that behavior. Although a children's initial educator

parents must elaborate that why punished was carried out, as a youngster needs to realize that

perhaps the punishment was carried in out of compassion instead of hatred. Any use of corporal

punishment could have a bearing on some children's academic performance. Several began to

struggle with attention, skipped class, displayed behavioral problems, and acquired depressed.

Instead of implementing corporal punishment, the researchers advocated and primarily focused

their results upon that notion that discussing and clarifying to youngsters what they did was

unacceptable is a good thought to discipline them. Teachers and parents should collaborate since

teachers have accessibility to and would change the text in a student's academic performance,

and parents must strengthen and enhance the capabilities of their parenting advice on their

children. It included enhancing disciplinary measures, improving guidance and guiding in

schools and in the public, and helping the less fortunate instead of forcibly removing them,

which will still help students and parents.
