Abstract

ABSTRACT: This work focuses on Positive Discipline, an educational approach that promotes a healthy and productive learning environment through respectful and firm dialogue, without punishments or penalties, but with consequences. Positive Discipline, conceived by Dr. Jane Nelsen, is analyzed in its theoretical foundations, highlighting the contributions of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs, who are the main theorists of Positive Discipline. The research also explores the influence of B.F. Skinner, Lev Vygotsky, John Dewey, Julian Rotter, Paulo Freire, and Carl Rogers in shaping Positive Discipline. The work investigates how Positive Discipline can be effectively implemented in the classroom, focusing on teaching strategies that promote dialogue and active participation of students. The effectiveness of Positive Discipline is evaluated, highlighting the importance of simultaneous kindness and firmness in classroom management and the need to reassess self-esteem in education. The work also discusses the challenges in implementing Positive Discipline and its relevance for teacher training. The research concludes that Positive Discipline is a promising approach to education, offering valuable information for educators, parents, and all those interested in promoting healthy and productive learning environments. The study suggests that Positive Discipline can be an effective tool for developing student autonomy and improving classroom dynamics.
