Abstract

This study investigated the impact of class-level variables on the effectiveness of a universal middle school social and emotional learning (SEL) program, as reported by students (7th to 9th grade) and their teachers. There were 746 participants (M age = 13.38; SD = 1.36), comprising 576 in the intervention groups and 170 in the control groups. Results from both self- and teacher reports identified positive intervention gains in social awareness and self-control. According to both types of informants, rural school students benefitted more in social awareness, whereas teacher reports attributed bigger gains in social awareness to 7th- and 8th-graders. These results highlight the importance of class-level variables when analysing the effectiveness of SEL programs.

班级水平变量对中学社会与情感学习项目有效性的影响:一个多水平分析

本研究调查了班级水平变量对通用中学社会与情感学习(SEL)项目有效性的影响，调查对象为7 - 9年级学生和他们的老师。共有746名参与者(M年龄= 13.38;SD = 1.36)，干预组576例，对照组170例。自我报告和教师报告的结果都表明，干预在社会意识和自我控制方面取得了积极的进展。根据这两种类型的信息提供者，农村学校的学生在社会意识方面受益更多，而教师报告将社会意识的更大收益归功于七年级和八年级的学生。在分析SEL项目的有效性时，这些结果突出了类级别变量的重要性。
