The Effects of Teacher-directed and Peer-directed Social Skills Training on the Social Interaction Skills of Middle School Students with Serious Emotional Disturbances

Pages : 282
Book Description
Abstract: Aggressive behaviors of students are increasingly a primary concern for both teachers and parents. One means for addressing this problem is to teach students social skills that will enhance socially appropriate behaviors. Previous studies have shown that teaching students with aggressive behaviors specific social skills will provide alternative positive behaviors (e. g., Dunlap & Childs, 1996; Middleton, 1994; Middleton & Cartledge, 1995; Moore, Cartledge, & Heckaman, 1995; Walker, 1998). The purpose of this study was to further investigate the effects of social skills training on the social interaction skills of students with challenging behaviors and examine the effects of teacher-directed and student-directed instruction. In this study the researcher used direct instruction procedures to systematically teach specific social skills to 12 elementary-aged students with serious emotional disorders (SED) in a small group setting. Immediately following the instruction a 18-minute observation was made of the students. Increases in frequency of appropriate behaviors were exhibited by the students during the two intervention phases for all three targeted behaviors, compared to baseline conditions. These increases indicate that the curriculum- based, teacher-directed, and peer-directed social skills instruction was an effective strategy for students with SED in this study. The change in behavior was replicated at each level in the multiple baseline design.

The Effects of Direct Social Skills Instruction on Elementary-aged Students with Serious Emotional Disturbance During Game Playing

Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Abstract: Socially unacceptable behaviors such as inappropriate communication, inappropriate turn-taking, and name calling during game playing situations are problematic for children with Serious Emotional Disturbances (SED). One way to address these issues is to teach students with SED social skills. Studies show that teaching social skills to children with SED can be effective (Adedapo, 1998; Middleton & Cartledge, 1995; Moore, Cartledge, & Heckaman, 1995). The purpose of this study was to extend the findings of Adedapo's (1998) research by investigating the effects of social skills training on the game playing skills of elementary-aged students with SED. In this study, the researcher used direct instruction to systematically teach specific social skills to four elementary-aged students with SED in a self-contained special education classroom. During Intervention conditions, 10 minute game playing practice took place immediately following instruction. The results of the study indicate that four elementary-aged students with SED ages 8.7 to 10.2 years can be taught social skills that decrease inappropriate communication, inappropriate turn-taking, and name calling during game playing situations. The improved social skills will assist students in game playing settings such as recess or physical education class.

Book Description
Implementation of a Social Skills Curriculum to Reduce Behavioral Problems of African American Boys in Elementary Classroom Settings. Foster, Evaline L., 2004: Applied Dissertation, Nova Southeastern University, Fischler School ofEducation and Human Services. Peer Support Groups/Anger Management/Conflict Resolution/Social Skills/Bullying/Teacher Student Relationships This applied dissertation was designed to reduce the disruptive verbal and physical behaviors within the regular behavior enrichment classroom during the 2003-2004 school year. From August 2002-May 2003, 18 home suspensions, 25 in-school suspensions, and 85 office referrals due to extremely disruptive verbal and physical behaviors were recorded for students enrolled in the regular education behavior enrichment classroom. The purpose of this applied dissertation was to modify the negative behaviors of students into appropriate behaviors that would allow them to productively function academically, socially, and emotionally in the regular education classroom setting. The writer developed lesson plans and strategies to reduce the verbal and physical behaviors of students within the regular behavior enrichment classroom. Strategies taught included (a) facilitation of peer support groups and instruction, (b) modeling, (c) reinforcement of conflict resolution skills, (d) self-management techniques, (e) anger management techniques, and (f) social skills lessons. This applied dissertation also has the potential to provide other educators with the strategies necessary to maintain positive behaviors in the classroom. An analysis of data revealed a decreased number of verbal and physical antisocial behaviors in students. Through this implementation, students learned how to better self-manage their behaviors and use conflict resolution skills to solve controversial issues The presence of these factors helped to motivate students, improve behavior, increase cognitive developments levels, and strengthen parent/teacher relationships.
