ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate the practice of problem behavior intervention use of middle and high school teachers. Through a survey, 234 teachers were examined about their frequency of use and the perceived effectiveness about 20 problem behavior interventions and what resources they use most to develop their own behavior interventions. Results showed that middle and high school teachers preferred to use behavior interventions, which were less teacher-controlling and tend to avoid parents’participation on intervening problem behaviors. Teachers believed educational interventions like counseling and functional analysis to be more effective, but they perceived non-educational interventions like shaming and ignoring to be less effective. Also, results indicated that in developing their own behavior interventions, teachers depended more on the subjective information such as personal experiences or other persons’ advice than objective information such as research article or books. Among teachers’personal demographics, three variables such as educational experiences, hours of in-service training, and credits of university classes about problem behaviors, had significant relationships with their perceptions of the frequency of use and effectiveness of behavior interventions.
