This study explores the critical role of teacher efficacy in implementing inclusive education (IE) within China, focusing on three key dimensions: providing inclusive instruction, collaborating with colleagues, and managing student behavior. Despite China's policy-level advancements in IE, challenges persist, particularly in teacher preparedness,…

The use of evidence-based practices (EBPs) is growing among school counselors. However, little is known about school counselors' attitudes toward EBPs and related factors. We investigated the relationships between school counselors' grade level, years of experience, theoretical orientation, and attitude toward EBPs. Results indicated that the use…

The Schoolwide Positive Behavior Intervention Support model (SWPBIS) continues to gain widespread use across schools in the United States and abroad. Despite its widespread implementation, little research has examined factors that influence its sustainability. Informed by Rogers's diffusion theory, this study examined school personnel's…

Challenging behavior at school remains a concern for teachers and administrators. Thus classroom management practices to prevent challenging behavior are sorely needed. The Good Behavior Game (GBG) has been found to be useful to positively change student behavior. However, previous reviews of the GBG have not quantified effects, have not focused…

Examined the relationship between outcomes of behaviorally oriented treatment for children (N=366) and eye color. Findings were consistent with theoretical expectations: Dark-eyed children and teenagers responded better to reactive treatment programs than their light-eyed counterparts, while the reverse was true for self-paced treatment programs.…

A study analyzed ratings of 55 teachers for the effectiveness and acceptability of a range of interventions and evaluated the impact on those ratings of providing functional information about the problem behavior. Teachers differentially rated brief interruption and differential reinforcement according to the functional information provided in the…

Health Hazard Appraisal (HHA), or risk factor analysis, is a health education preventive medicine technique that assists people in recognizing their health risks and, through their own actions, in improving both their sense of well-being and their life expectancy. HHA, an educational tool in implementing theoretical behavior changes, is based on…

This guide discusses using Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) to find out why a student is behaving inappropriately and to enable the provision of appropriate positive behavior intervention. It stresses that a FBA goes beyond looking at antecedent behavior and consequence to review everything in the entire environment of the student.…

Describes a study that defined the principal techniques preservice teachers applied when completing specific microcomputer simulations. Analysis of simulation performance scores yielded three performance factors addressing techniques that defined teachers' misbehavior intervention, instructional delivery, and activity sequencing. Regression…
