Furthermore, it also examined the influence of gender, school locale, years of teaching experience, and educational attainment on the respondents' views. This research employed a descriptive survey method involving 200 primary school teachers in Nigeria. They responded to a researcher-designed questionnaire entitled 'Causes of Indiscipline Questionnaire' (CIQ), in which the psychometric properties of the instrument were established. The data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics.
