In this context, what kind of disciplinary punishment high school students receive, the events that caused them to receive disciplinary punishments, and the results of psychosocial examinations made by experts on disciplinary punishments are discussed. In addition, the meaning of disciplinary punishments in terms of ethical values is discussed. The case study approach was determined as a study method as the most appropriate qualitative research design to develop an in-depth understanding of the research problem. As the research area, a vocational high school in Körfez District, where disciplinary incidents are experienced the most, was chosen. The data source of the research is the student disciplinary files that are handled by the school disciplinary committee. Disciplinary files are confidential documents. For this reason, the School Guidance Teacher, Advisor Teacher, and the head of the school disciplinary committee created a sample pool for researchers by hiding the private information in the disciplinary files. While creating the sampling pool; class level, the behavior that caused the punishment, the types of disciplinary punishment applied were taken into account. In this context, the purposeful sampling method was used in the research. Document analysis technique, which is frequently used in qualitative research, was used as a data analysis technique. In addition, a general statistical framework was presented about the independent variables such as the types of punishments received by students and the behaviors considered as justification for these punishments.
