Dealing with increasing aggression in pre-adolescent boys as a result of pedagogical factors: A Biblical approach for Christian teachers and counsellors - Johannesburg South Africa South African Theological Seminary 12 September2018 - 118 pages PDF A4 Abstract, TOC



Aggressive personalities are relatively easy to spot:competitive natures, in-your-face confrontations and lack of control of emotionare common. The number of people acting in aggressive ways seems to suggest that the aggressive personality is becoming more prevalent.This is a report of an investigation into the prevalence of aggressive personalities within a particular school in Gauteng. The results of the research indicate that the prevalence of aggression and aggressive behaviouris substantially higher than that ofthe general population.Further research was conducted, to determine the factors thatmay influence this trend, and focussed on pedagogical actions and processes utilised by the teachers in the reference school, as well as through interviews with a numberof learners.
