Abstract

Exploring what practices early childhood special education (ECSE) teachers have been exposed to and use may highlight the need for improved dissemination and implementation supports. In this survey study, 312 ECSE teachers reported exposure (familiarity, training) and use of evidence-based practices (EBPs) and low-value practices (LVPs) for children with autism. Teachers reported high familiarity, training, and use of many EBPs (e.g., modeling, reinforcement), while other EBPs remain minimally used despite high familiarity (video modeling; 23.4%). Some teachers reported not using EBPs they had been trained in. Overall, teachers reported some familiarity and use of LVPs ( m = 20.47, 0%–50.64%) and minimal training (preservice = 1.6%–33.33%). Research should explore exposure and other possible explanations of the limited use of effective practices.

学前特殊教育工作者接触和使用自闭症儿童循证和低价值实践的情况

探索幼儿特殊教育（ECSE）教师接触和使用过哪些实践方法，可能会凸显出改进传播和实施支持的必要性。在这项调查研究中，312 名幼儿特殊教育（ECSE）教师报告了他们接触（熟悉、培训）和使用自闭症儿童循证实践（EBPs）和低价值实践（LVPs）的情况。教师对许多 EBPs（如示范、强化）的熟悉程度、培训和使用情况都很高，而对其他 EBPs（视频示范；23.4%）尽管熟悉程度很高，但使用情况仍然很少。一些教师表示没有使用他们接受过培训的 EBPs。总体而言，教师对低效教学法（m = 20.47，0%-50.64%）有一定的了解和使用，但接受的培训很少（职前培训 = 1.6%-33.33%）。研究应探讨接触和其他可能解释有效实践使用有限的原因。
