These supports are necessary for students to be successful in school, yet preservice teachers receive limited education and training in both classroom and behavior management. As such, the purposes of this study were to identify the effects of an online behavior management training on newly graduated elementary education teachers immediately after completing their teacher preparation programs and to explore their perceptions regarding the training. A randomized-controlled trial was used, with 39 participants in the intervention group and 44 participants in the waitlist-control group. Results indicated participants in the intervention group showed a statistically significant increase in both knowledge and self-efficacy compared with participants in the waitlist-control group, and insignificant gains in their ability to analyze the use of behavior management strategies. Participants reported feeling the training was highly effective and were eager to implement the strategies with their future students.","PeriodicalId":47249,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46910178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explored the relation between ECA, social competence, and school engagement for students with and at risk of emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). Specifically, the study addressed three research questions: (a) Is there a relation between participation in ECA and high school students with EBD’s social competence and school engagement? (b) Is the relation moderated by EBD status, race, gender, or special education status? And, (c) is there a direct link between participation in ECA and students’ social competence and school engagement for youth with EBD? Eighty students with EBD and 21 typically developing students were included based on their participation in a larger study examining interventions for U.S. high school students with EBD. Participants were administered a battery of assessments at the end of the school year measuring ECA participation, social competence, and school engagement. We used regression and instrumental variable analyses to address the research questions. Results indicated statistically significant, positive relations between participation in ECA, social competence, and school engagement. Implications for research and practice are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47249,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47541864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This exploratory study investigates teachers’ attributions of student externalizing behavior, how attributions vary as a function of teacher and school characteristics, and the association of those attributions with teachers’ perceived likelihood of referring students to mental health services or implementing punitive discipline. We provided a sample of U.S. secondary school teachers (N = 426) a vignette depicting a student with oppositional defiant disorder and asked them to describe what was happening with the student. Attributions were categorized as internal to the student (e.g., mental health), external (e.g., problems at home), both (internal and external), and neutral (e.g., “normal teen behavior”). Results indicated the majority of teachers attributed vignette behavior to external factors. Results suggest that teachers indicating both internal and external attributions had increased likelihood of providing a mental health referral. Teacher and school characteristics were also associated with attributions. Results provide support for the importance of considering teachers’ attributions of student behavior and the association of these attributions to pathways into mental health services.","PeriodicalId":47249,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48158867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bayes’ Theorem was used to determine this probability based upon existing probabilities and conditional probabilities. Analyses were also conducted by state and ethnicity. Results indicated that 1 in 14 of expelled students is likely to have an unserved disability under IDEA but variability according to race/ethnicity nationwide and by state was observed. Students who were White were the least likely to be an unserved student with a disability under IDEA among those expelled. The findings encourage investigation into the intersection of variables, especially the importance of including disability status and ethnicity when explaining disparate and punitive discipline. Practitioners, especially school psychologists, work at this intersection and can influence both special education identification and discipline practices.","PeriodicalId":47249,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46756147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although research has demonstrated promise for several behavior intervention practices in general education settings, the generalizability of these practices to more restricted environments is unknown. Thus, this meta-analysis aimed to examine the class-wide behavior interventions tested in self-contained learning environments for students with EBDs. Studies investigating behavioral interventions in alternative elementary settings were systematically screened. Fifteen studies with 20 effect sizes met inclusion criteria and results from each study were synthesized. An estimated average effect was calculated (g = 0.93, SE = 0.16), demonstrating that tested interventions are typically effective in self-contained learning environments to improve student behaviors. A thematic analysis and multi-level meta-regression were conducted to determine which elements are most beneficial to students in these unique learning environments. Results indicated that interventions that included relational supports, such as daily parent communication, differentially benefited students (B = 1.26, SE = 0.15). Limitations include the small number of studies meeting inclusion criteria that have investigated behavior interventions in self-contained settings and the need for improved research quality. Implications suggest support for adapting standardized practice elements, such as group contingencies, to improve student behaviors in multiple learning environments.","PeriodicalId":47249,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44743960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how the routine use of MMR should be considered and suggest why doing so is a worthwhile endeavor. An overview of potential barriers to conducting intervention MMR in the field of EBD is provided. Examples of the use of MMR with Functional Behavior Analysis and Multi-tiered Systems of Support for students with Tier 2 needs are discussed.

Anderson","doi":"10.1177/01987429231159015","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/01987429231159015","url":null,"abstract":"Social science researchers are increasingly embracing the mixed methods research (MMR) paradigm (Corr et al., 2020; Creswell et al., 2011; Leko et al., 2022). This is evidenced, in part, by the creation of special interest groups in research organizations (e.g., the American Education Research Association Mixed Methods Special Interest Group; the American Evaluation Association Mixed Methods in Evaluation Technical Interest Group; and the Institute of Education Sciences Mixed Methods in Education Research Technical Working Group), two specialty journals focusing on MMR (the Journal of Mixed Methods Research and the International Journal of Multiple Research Approaches) and the growth of the Mixed Methods International Research Association (MMIRA.org), which includes researchers from across academic disciplines. The MMIRA website describes MMR as the “mixing/combining/integrating quantitative and/or qualitative methods, epistemologies, axiologies, and stakeholder perspectives and standpoints.” Fundamentally, MMR involves inquiry that explicitly capitalizes on the strengths of both qualitative and quantitative approaches with varying degrees of integration during the conceptualization, planning, data collection, data analysis, and reporting of study findings phases of the study process (Creswell & Plano-Clark, 2017; Holt et al., 2021). It important to note that MMR is neither a research panacea nor appropriate for all research endeavors (Ridenour & Newman, 2008). Indeed, as with all research, the research question should determine which methodology is employed (Newman & Houchins, 2018). Still, the potential value of MMR for the identification of effective and efficient interventions that are contextually and socially valid, particularly for students with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders (EBD), cannot be overstated (e.g., Anderson, 2018; Schoonenboon et al., 2018). Educating students with EBD is a complex endeavor that is situated within and across multidimensional contexts consisting of individuals (children and adults) within classrooms, schools, communities, and cultures (Jacobson et al., 2019). Such complexity inherently requires a multipronged methodological approach. Numerous scholars (Houchins et al., 2022; Klingner & Boardman, 2011; Nastasi & Hitchcock, 2016; Newman & Houchins, 2018) contend that wider adoption of MMR can contribute importantly to expanding the special education knowledge base in general, and more specifically to intervention research in the field of EBD. Mixed methods research has the capacity to contribute to a deeper understanding of a comprehensive conceptual intervention framework for students with EBD (Anderson, 2018; Quinn & McDougal, 1998) by providing more nuance understandings of the multiple contextual variations in which interventions are implemented. Thus, to make the best possible choices for interventions and equally important, to provide useful information to policymakers and practitioners, this special issue d","PeriodicalId":47249,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43332429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted a targeted review of two prominent journals to assess the use of MMR over the last 20 years in the field. Following the identification of MMR intervention studies, we applied several frameworks to describe the application of MMR across identified studies. Results of this targeted review indicate that very few EBD intervention studies used MMR. Most studies used singular quantitative approaches (e.g., group experimental or single case research design) and only a small portion used qualitative methods. We did find a number of studies using multimethods by combining two or more quantitative approaches. Our assertion is that researchers consider increasing their use of MMR to advance the science in the field of EBD and to gain a better understanding of the “why” and “how” interventions are or are not effective.","PeriodicalId":47249,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41699188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of MMR and demonstrate its utility for conducting EBD intervention research. The basic tenants and design principles of MMR are discussed. Then, we present an aspirational framework that summarizes 17 areas where MMR can be applied to EBD intervention research using a school psychology study for illustration. The framework includes (a) research question development, (b) intervention development, (c) instrumentation development, (d) selection, (e) sampling, (f) multi-lens causality, (g) social validity, (h) acceptability, (i) stakeholder perspectives, (j) treatment integrity, (k) contamination, (l) carry-over effects, (m) outcome variability, (n) attrition, (o) replication, (p) data analysis and interpretation, and (q) dissemination. By referring to this framework as being aspirational, we mean to convey that very few social science studies or programs of research fully address all its elements; indeed, it may even be considered as a wish list. However, we contend that MMR approaches can help researchers to address the framework more fully within their lines of EBD inquiry.","PeriodicalId":47249,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Disorders","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42473466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
