Abstract :

The purpose of this study is to analyze the disciplinary actions committed by high-school students in terms of gender variable. The study has been conducted upon the disciplinary registers of five high-schools in DiyarbakIr province center and of three high-schools in its towns. The study is in the descriptive survey model. The data have been formed based upon 1293 disciplinary actions registered in the afore-mentioned schools. The data have been analyzed with percentage and frequency techniques. As a result, it has been identified that the gender is a significant variable in the disciplinary actions committed in the sample high-schools of the study. The rate of the male students is 96.4 % and that of the female students is 3.6 % in the total 1293 disciplinary actions registered. The disciplinary actions are sorted out in eleven categories. The rate of the male students in five of these categories is 100 %. The less difference in terms of gender variable among the disciplinary actions is related to actions of bad appearance and dressing. Except for this, in all other disciplinary actions, the male students are dominant. It has been suggested in the study that the fact that the male students committed more disciplinary actions may be related to some physiological and cultural aspects.
