The purpose of this study is to investigate the views and facts of corporal punishment byteachers, students, and parents in recent years. In addition, a practicable program for the government to solve the problems arising from corporal punishment is proposed. The subjects are choson from 52 elementary and junior high schools in Taiwan, including2191 teachers. 1312 parents, and 6941 students. Three sets of questionnaires are provided forteachers, parents, and students respectively. The results of this investigation are: 1. Cognitively most teachers, parents, and students regard both reward-punishment and exhortation as the better ways to correct students misbehavior and to increase students arievement. 2. Practically 87.2 of the teachers admit that they practiced corporal punishment onec ormore than once last semester. And 92.8 of the students acknowledge that they have beenpunished corporally. Among them 23 were punished 5-10 times in a semester. 3. Teachers (45.7), patents (55.6). and students (84). admit that parents have askedteachers to punish their children. And the most pervasive forms of corporal punishment usedby teachers are "plam swatting", "standing", "spanking", "forced labor", and "bending". 4. Teachers (95.5). parents (90.1), and students (79.9) agree that as long as no injury is inflicted, proper corporal punishment is permissible. 5. If proper corporal punishment is allowed, a set of guidelines must be established to befollowed by the school and approved by a higher educational authority.
