Abstract:

 The current study investigates gender differences between teachers with respect to their behaviortowards corporal punishment in government primary schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. Quantitative methodology has been employed for the analysis of the research problem. Consistent with quantitative methodology, survey strategy and random sampling technique was employed. Data was collected through structured questionnaires fromrespondents. Descriptive analysis was conducted on collected data. The findings reveal that male and female teachers both show positive behaviortowards corporal punishment at government primary schools. However, male teachers show morepositive behavior than female teachers towardscorporal punishment which implies that female teachers should be appointed at the primary school level in preference to men who engage in corporal punishment, in order to provide a healthy and free from corporal punishment learning environment for students.
