Effects Of Corporal Punishment and Psychological Treatment on Students Learning and Behavior

Research Question

What are the effects of corporal punishment and psychological treatment on students learning and behavior?

Using the study results, researchers can push for improvements in the education sector where more emphasis would be placed on psychological treatment over punishment.
