The purpose of the study was to examine the perceptions of teachers, based on their demographics, regarding the use of corporal punishment in two rural Tennessee school districts. The research was designed to determine the differences between the teachers' beliefs of the use of corporal punishment based on years of teaching experience, use of corporal punishment, punishment received as a child, terminal degree, gender, age, teaching level, and two school systems' board policies. These variables were compared to the teachers' religious, cultural, legal, and discipline effectiveness beliefs. Two counties, DeKalb and Roane, were selected due to their similar demographics. The sample group consisted of 353 participants who completed Kiernan's Corporal Punishment Scale Survey. Eight hypotheses were tested using a Multiple Linear Regression and Multiple Analyses of Variance (MANOVAs). Five of the eight hypotheses were found to be statistically significant at the .01 level of significance. There were no significant differences in teachers' religious perceptions of corporal punishment based on the variables tested. A significant difference was found in teachers' cultural perceptions of corporal punishment based on the teaching level. Significant differences were found on the legal construct based on the teachers' use of corporal punishment, punishment received as a child, gender, teaching level, and school system board policies. There were significant differences in teachers' discipline effectiveness perceptions of corporal punishment based on teachers' use of corporal punishment and punishment received as a child. The legal construct was the area that was most affected by the teachers' demographic variables. Recommendations concluded from this study include the education of teachers in alternative measures other than corporal punishment and the re-evaluation of state laws and school board policies. Research recommendations include a correlational study between discipline records and infractions compared to corporal punishment and a comparison of the attitudes of teachers' in the Southern states with other regions of the United States.

In addition to drawing attention to the issue of corporal punishment in rural schools, it equips readers with an in-depth understanding of these practices.

Corporal punishment is a widespread phenomenon in South African schools in spite of legislation prohibiting spanking of learners. Section 10 of the South African Schools Act No 84 of 1996 states that No person may administer corporal punishment at a school to a learner. The legal consequences for an educator administering corporal punishment could result in dismissal. However, empirical evidence indicates that seven in every ten primary school learners and one in every two secondary school learners still receive corporal punishment from educators. Hence, the purpose of the study is to understand and explain corporal punishment from educators' perceptions. Six educators from three schools were interviewed using a qualitative approach. Participant educators are not convinced that the use of corporal punishment is illegal and a criminal offence. The findings of the study show that these frustrated educators believe that corporal punishment is effective to maintain discipline in classes with a high educator-learner ratio. Furthermore, the participant educators are convinced that alternatives to corporal punishment are ineffective in comparison with the positive effect of corporal punishment on instruction and learning. The ineffectiveness of alternatives to corporal punishment is exacerbated by the poor support provided by the Department of Education in implementing these measures. The study concluded that the implementation of the abolishment of corporal punishment is a tug-of-war between legislation and reality.
