The scope of this study to examine the effect of ‘time-out’ intervention on the disruptive behavior among Bukit Rambai primary’s students in Malacca. The ‘time-out’ is a method to a help so called “ the lost self control” students by segregating them away from the others with a specific schedule. The study involved a total of 49 standard four pupils with 25 of them is classified as a “control group” while the others and balance of 24 students classified as a “treatment group”. The study is based on the collected data using the observation form by the researcher. The result showed that the most dominant disruptive behavior are playing or disturbing their other friends during their study, followed by disobeying the teacher’s instruction, talking irrelevant matters while in class, not able to complete the given tasks or assignments on time and last but not least, leaving the class without prior permission or coming late to class. The T-test analysis shows significantly difference between the treatment group and control group in the inhomogeneous disruptive behaviour respondents. While the scoring result of pre-test and post-test for treatment group showing significance level 0.00 (<0.05). This ‘time-out’ intervention implementation will give the positive impact for the disruptive behavior and can become the alternative way for the punishment in order to change the disruptive behavior if properly conducted. In order to get the more significant and consistent result a further comprehensive studies need to be conducted.
