A Systematic Review of Positive Discipline and School Organization on School Climate

Abstract

The management of problematic behaviors in schools is a growing challenge. Bullying and disruption negatively impact the educational community. In response, positive discipline methods are being implemented to improve the school environment. The aim of this study is to review and summarize the findings from recent research on this topic. To achieve this, 42 articles investigating the influence of positive discipline on school coexistence, specifically the Positive Behavioral Support (PBS) method, were analyzed following the PRISMA protocol methodology. It was found that the use of positive discipline measures positively impacts the classroom, reducing both disruption and school victimization.
