Abstract

The transfer and adoption of the school-wide positive behavior support (SWPBS) framework in different contexts worldwide is receiving increased interest. Identified challenges in implementing relevant systems and practices with fidelity at local schools can lead to adaptations improving the contextual fit of SWPBS, which eventually contributes to enhanced outcomes. The present study documents a 2-year systematic implementation of SWPBS in 31 elementary schools in Cyprus. Cultural and situational barriers were identified using a mixed-methods design. Data were obtained from three fidelity assessments across time, through which we examined the schools’ efforts to integrate SWPBS elements into their setting. School size and location were also used to predict implementation fidelity. External coaches’ experiences working with schools for 2 years were summarized to provide insight into the main impediments to effective implementation. Recommendations for forthcoming applications of SWPBS in contexts with similar characteristics are drawn.
因地制宜,忠实实施 SWPBS:塞浦路斯案例
在世界范围内,全校积极行为支持(SWPBS)框架在不同背景下的转移和采用正受到越来越多的关注。在当地学校忠实实施相关系统和实践过程中发现的挑战,可以促使学校进行调整,改善 SWPBS 的环境适应性,最终有助于提高成果。本研究记录了 SWPBS 在塞浦路斯 31 所小学为期两年的系统实施情况。采用混合方法设计,确定了文化和情境障碍。我们从三次跨时间的忠实度评估中获得了数据,通过这些数据,我们考察了学校将 SWPBS 要素融入其环境的努力。学校规模和地理位置也被用来预测实施的忠实度。我们总结了外聘教练与学校合作两年的经验,以便深入了解有效实施的主要障碍。此外,还为今后在具有类似特征的环境中应用 SWPBS 提出了建议。
