ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate the problem behavior intervention practices of elementary school teachers. Three hundred sixty two teachers were surveyed about the frequency of use and the effectiveness of 21 problem behavior interventions that they used and what resources they utilized in order to develop these interventions. Results indicated that teachers preferred to employ problem behavior interventions, which could be used easily and tended to avoid parents' supports on intervening challenging behaviors. While teachers considered punitive interventions such as spanking less effective, they perceived educational interventions such as token economy and counseling to be more effective. When developing interventions of challenging behaviors, teachers were more likely to depend on subjective information such as personal experiences and other persons' advice than objective data such as articles, books and research studies. Three teacher variables, gender, educational experiences, and existence of in-service training about problem behaviors, had significant relationships with the frequency of use and the perceived effectiveness of problem behavior interventions.
