This study aimed at identifying the disciplinary methods used in controlling kindergarten children's behaviour and their degree of use by cooperating teachers and student teachers. The sample consisted of 161 female teachers and 53 student teachers who attend the field training programmes. The researchers constructed a questionnaire comprised of 22 items. Later, 12 cooperating teachers and 6 student teachers were interviewed. Results showed that the cooperating teachers' and student teachers' use of disciplinary methods to control kindergarten children's behaviour was medium. Disciplinary verbal was employed first, followed by disciplinary psychological, while disciplinary corporal came third, at a low level. Moreover, the results showed that there were no statistically significant differences attributable to the kindergarten sector. Additionally, the study found statistically significant differences attributed to certain variables of the study. It was concluded by offering some suggestions and recommendations.
