This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students with learning disabilities who spend the majority of the school day in a general education classroom often struggle to appropriately deal with feelings of frustration and anxiety. There is currently a gap in understanding how special education teachers can support the social and emotional inclusion of students with learning disabilities when they are in the general education classroom. The purpose of this study is to explore the results of implementing a social-emotional curriculum both in a pullout setting and in the general education setting and examine the effect of the program on the behavior of students with learning disabilities in the general education classroom. This research expands on the ongoing dialog in the literature concerning the effects of explicit and targeted social-emotional instruction. Students with disabilities were included in the data collection in order to better understand how students perceive the effects of the curriculum. This is a qualitative study that consisted of interviews with ten students who qualify for special education services under the eligibility of Specific Learning Disability. Three teachers with participating students were also interviewed. Data showed that a social-emotional instructional program positively impacts both students with learning disabilities and the classroom as a whole by helping students increase their coping skills, which thereby helps reduce the instances of these students being upset at school and minimizes their reaction to academic and social struggles.

Download or read book The Effect of Social Skill Instruction on Sport and Game Related Behaviors of Children and Adolescents with Emotional Or Behavioral Disorders written by Amaury Samalot-Rivera and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Children and youth with disabilities, especially those with mental, emotional, and learning disabilities often demonstrate deficits in social competence (Cartledge & Milburn, 1978; Gresham, Sungai, & Horner, 2001). Within a school environment, these deficits are commonly observed in physical education and sport settings (Buchanan, 2001; Hellison, 2003; Bloom & Smith, 1996). Yet, little has been done to enhance the social skills of children with disabilities (especially those with emotional or behavioral disorders) in physical education and sport settings. According to social learning theory (Bandura, 1977) behaviors are learned and thus, direct instruction can be employed to teach appropriate social behaviors. Therefore, purpose of this study was to examine the effect of social skill instruction (within the context of social learning theory) on the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of peer related social behaviors of students with emotional or behavioral disorders (EBD) during competitive sports/games activities. A multiple baseline across participants design was used. The experiment specifically addressed the effect of social skill instruction on the number of appropriate and inappropriate sport/games behaviors during physical education. The instruction was based on a Sports and Games Behaviors Curriculum that was developed and validated. Six students (4 males and 2 females) ages 10 through 17 and attending two alternative education school programs designed to serve children and youth with EBD participated in this study. Results of this study demonstrated that social skill instruction was an effective strategy to develop appropriate sport and game behaviors and decrease inappropriate ones for students with EBD in physical education. However, there was limited support for generalization. Social validity results demonstrated that parents and teachers support the curriculum as implemented to develop appropriate sport and game behaviors. Although further investigation is needed, the intervention was effective in improving appropriate behaviors and decreasing inappropriate ones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access volume critically reviews a diverse body of scholarship and practice that informs the conceptualization, curriculum, teaching and measurement of life skills in education settings around the world. It discusses life skills as they are implemented in schools and non-formal education, providing both qualitative and quantitative evidence of when, with whom, and how life skills do or do not impact young women’s and men’s lives in various contexts. Specifically, it examines the nature and importance of life skills, and how they are taught. It looks at the synergies and differences between life skills educational programmes and the way in which they promote social and emotional learning, vocational/employment education, and health and sexuality education. Finally, it explores how life skills may be better incorporated into education and how such education can address structures and relations of power to help youth achieve desired future outcomes, and goals set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Life skills education has gained considerable attention by education policymakers, researchers and educators as being the sine qua non for later achievements in life. It is nearly ubiquitous in global and national education policies, including the SDGs, because life skills are regarded as essential for a diverse set of purposes: reducing poverty, achieving gender equality, promoting economic growth, addressing climate change, fostering peace and global citizenship, and creating sustainable and healthy communities. Yet, to achieve these broad goals, questions persist as to which life skills are important, who needs to learn them, how they can be taught, and how they are best measured. This book addresses these questions.
Download or read book The impact of social emotional learning SEL instruction on post pandemic behavior for students in U S public elementary schools written by Brandie M. Page and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 Pandemic has reshaped the educational landscape in more ways than one. The most pre-eminent area of deleterious impact was observed in children’s social emotional state upon return to in-person learning. Students struggled with interpersonal relationships as well as self-regulation. However, existing research and theory suggest that social emotional learning (SEL) intervention can improve interpersonal and interoceptive outcomes in students experiencing post-covid maladaptive behaviors. This quantitative research study examines the impact that SEL has on students’ social emotional state across U.S. public schools in two core social emotional areas of competency: self-management and social awareness. The researcher employed a cross correlational analysis design to glean the extent to which SEL intervention promoted improvement in targeted soft skills. Results demonstrated that while SEL intervention has an average positive effect overall for improving soft skills within the domains of self-management and social awareness, the most improvement in demonstrated behaviors was seen in the domain of self-management. The implications of the study suggest that social emotional learning instruction should be continuously interwoven into the fabric of educational practice and curriculum to cultivate a robust reservoir of resilience for children to draw upon at any given time. Possibilities for future research include a qualitative study focusing on interviews with teachers, educational leaders, and families in the community to determine areas of socio-emotional need for children as well as deeper neuro-social research to delve into the reasoning behind imbalances of improvement outcomes among individual core competency skills.

Download or read book The Effects of a Social emotional Skills Training Program on Optimism in Elementary Students written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has supported the impact of social-emotional skills on learning and on a student's ability to access classroom instruction, including the presence of a positive association between optimism and academic success. Students with disabilities are likely to experience high levels of negative experiences in school during social interactions and academic instruction. This study endeavored to build upon the previous research supporting the benefits of administering the Strong Kids curriculum in addition to specifically assessing the utility of the program's use by teachers working with students with learning disabilities. However, this study was not implemented as originally proposed with fewer sessions of the program and younger participants included. Analysis of the results showed a slight increase between the overall mean of pre-intervention optimism scores (M = 3.20, SD = 3.63) and post-intervention optimism scores (M = 3.60, SD = 3.5). Analysis showed a decrease between the overall mean of pre-intervention classroom performance scores (M = 41.40, SD = 1.52) and post-intervention classroom performance scores (M = 37.80, SD = 2.95); t(5) = 4.13, p = 0.01. Results suggest the importance of implementing the Strong Start curriculum with fidelity to the original design of the program.
Download or read book Handbook of Educational Psychology and Students with Special Needs written by Andrew J. Martin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Educational Psychology and Students with Special Needs provides educational and psychological researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, and graduate students with critical expertise on the factors and processes relevant to learning for students with special needs. This includes students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, other executive function difficulties, behavior and emotional disorders, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, dyslexia, language and communication difficulties, physical and sensory disabilities, and more. With the bulk of educational psychology focused on "mainstream" or "typically developing" learners, relatively little educational psychology theory, research, measurement, or practice has attended to students with "special needs." As clearly demonstrated in this book, the factors and processes studied within educational psychology—motivation and engagement, cognition and neuroscience, social-emotional development, instruction, home and school environments, and more—are vital to all learners, especially those at risk or disabled. Integrating guidance from the DSM-5 by the American Psychiatric Association and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) by the World Health Organization, this book synthesizes and builds on existing interdisciplinary research to establish a comprehensive case for effective psycho-educational theory, research, and practice that address learners with special needs. Twenty-seven chapters by experts in the field are structured into three parts on diverse special needs categories, perspectives from major educational psychology theories, and constructs relevant to special needs learning, development, and knowledge building.
