Understanding the Social Ecology of Classrooms for Adolescents with Behavioral Disorders: A Preliminary Study of Differences in Perceived Environments.

Leone, Peter E.; And Others

Behavioral Disorders, v16 n1 p55-65 Nov 1990

This study found that behaviorally disordered adolescents (n=183) in six special schools perceived lower order and organization and higher teacher control than did normal students in traditional classes. Student satisfaction with school was related to greater levels of perceived involvement, affiliation, and teacher support for the special students but not for normal students. (Author/JDD)
