he purpose of including definitions of terms in scholarly studies is to identify to the general readers of such studies any terms that may be unfamiliar to them, as well as any definitions of terms used in a particular study that vary from the generally accepted definitions of such terms. Terms defined in scholarly studies typically are limited to those terms that are directly relevant to the research problem and the research questions investigated. In this study, however, a large number of terms are defined for the general reader. While many of these terms have no direct relevance to the research problem or research questions investigated, the terms are relevant to the general education environment. A total of 16 terms are identified. These terms and their definitions as they are used in this study are as follows: Assertive Discipline. A form of classroom management.
