A community cultural wealth approach for enhancing positive discipline in Eswatini schools.

Abstract

This study aims to propose a Community Cultural Wealth approach for enhancing positive discipline in Eswatini schools. The research analysed current situations, need, circumstances and impediments in the enhancement of positive discipline from a Community Cultural Wealth approach. As such, CCW was used as theoretical framework as well. The theory has six capitals which functioned as operational concepts in the study. These capitals are; linguistic, social, navigational, resistant, family and aspirational capitals. A Participatory Action Research design was used in data generation. Findings of the study pointed to the current situation not being conducive for a fully fledged implementation of positive discipline in Eswatini schools. Therefore, there is a need to enhance positive discipline from the familiar Community Cultural Wealth approach. The findings further discussed the conditions for and impediments to enhancing positive discipline from a Community Cultural Wealth approach.
