This paper reports findings from a study on student and teacher perceptions of
misbehaviour. Data were gathered via questionnaires, observations and semi-structured
interviews from 6 teachers and 22 misbehaving students in six different schools with
three different socio-economic levels. The data revealed that misbehaving students’
explanations and interpretations of misbehaviour, their causes and the interventions
strategies used did not allways share similar attributes with those of their teachers’.
