目的：记录对尼日利亚伊洛林小学教师（est）的观察，了解他们对学生进行某些体罚（CP）的做法，这些体罚可能导致他们的眼睛受伤。材料和方法：对来自六所抽样学校的172名同意的教师进行了简短的问卷调查，探讨了ESTs对一些常用CP实践的态度和知识的观察。在接受这种CP练习时，他们的瞳孔遭受眼部伤害的可能性是通过使用具有尖锐和突出的末端的物品来实施CP，以及将CP应用于瞳孔靠近眼睛的身体部位（如头部和面部）来推断的。结果：172个est中仅有50个支持教师对学生实施CP。对这一反应的几个潜在调节变量的分析，如EST的年龄、EST教学经验的年数、学校和EST所教的班级或年级，并没有证明是显著的。超过四分之三的ESTs（80.2%）曾观察到学生被ESTs用藤条惩戒。大约五分之一的人还观察到，ESTs将CP应用于学生的头部（19.8%）和面部（16.3%）。结论：研究结果表明，ESTs常用的CP操作对其瞳孔有明显的潜在伤害。建议在小学废除CP，取而代之的是引入教师惩戒犯错学生的其他非虐待性方法。
Objective: To document the observations of elementary school teachers (ESTs) in Ilorin, Nigeria on their practice of some types of corporal punishment (CP) that could result in eye injuries among their pupils.Materials and Methods: A short battery of questions that explored ESTs' observations on attitudes to, and knowledge of some commonly used CP practices was self-administered on 172 consenting teachers from six sampled schools. The potentials for their pupils to sustain eye injuries while receiving such CP practices were inferred from the usage of items with sharp and protruding ends to administer CP, and the application of CP onto pupils' body parts that are in close proximity to the eye such as the head and face.Results: Only 50 of the 172 ESTs favored the practice of CP of pupils by their teachers. Analyses of several potentially moderating variables on this response such as ESTs' ages, years of EST teaching experience, school, and class or grade that EST teaches did not prove significant. Over three-quarters of ESTs (80.2%) had ever observed that pupils were being disciplined by ESTs with a cane. About a fifth of them had also observed that ESTs applied CP to the head (19.8%) and the face (16.3%) of pupils.Conclusion: Findings suggest that ESTs' commonly employed CP practices have significant injurious potential to their pupils' eyes. It is recommended that CP be abolished in elementary schools, and instead alternative nonabusive methods of disciplining erring pupils by teachers be introduced.
