This study discusses the perceptions of behaviour management approaches. It is based on a study of 135 students in a government-aided secondary school in Singapore. A comparison is then carried out to examine three behaviour management approaches, namely, Traditional, Behavioural and Reality Therapy. In this study, we will demonstrate that Reality Therapy, an approach, which motivates internally, is more effective than the Traditional approach and the Behavioural approach. The latter two approaches tend to motivate externally.
