This book was released on 2006 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the effects that peer mediation/conflict resolution training has on the behavior, attitudes and problem solving strategies of sixth grade urban students. The participants were randomly drawn from the middle school population of the City of York, Pennsylvania. An experimental pretest post-test design was used to conduct the investigation. Information used to measure the dependent variables was gathered from a Likert scale questionnaire and from district discipline records. The data were analyzed using an analysis of variance and chi square procedure. The effect of peer mediation/conflict resolution training on behavior was significant. The control group had more incidents of anti-social behavior than the experimental group. Additionally, a significant effect was found regarding attitudes. The experimental group was found to demonstrate more pro-social attitudes than the control group. Training also had a significant effect on problem solving skills. The experimental group scores indicated greater use of pro-social behavioral skills in solving conflicts than the control group. Results from the data provide information that can enable administrators to address discipline concerns arising from naturally occurring conflict. -- Abstract.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This mixed-methods study examined the effects of conflict resolution training on 53 middle and high school student participants. Variables of interest were participants’ conflict management styles, disciplinary referral rates, and their perspective on the training. Participants were assigned to either a treatment or control group; five participants composed the focus group. Quantitative measures on the Conflict Management Questionnaire and disciplinary referral rates were analyzed using the Chi-square and paired sample t-test. Significantly fewer disciplinary referrals for the treatment group were found, but no significant difference between the two groups’ conflict management styles. The focus group’s results, analyzed using content analysis, revealed the areas of strength in the program and participants’ desire to have additional conflict resolution training.

Download or read book Child Delinquents written by Rolf Loeber and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2001 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1980 and 1996 the number of arrests has increased considerably for offenders ages 12 and under. This increase is a cost to society in two ways: the cost of the crime and the cost of multiple agencies involved with these children. Several questions have developed due to this increase: How does the juvenile justice system deal with child delinquents? Is child delinquency a predictor of serious, violent, and chronic offending? How early can we predict delinquency, and what are early warning signs? In an effort to develop answers for these questions and many more, editors Rolf Loeber and David Farrington organized a study group on Very Young offenders comprising 39 experts on juvenile delinquency and child problem behavior. Over a two-year period of intense and collaborative work these individuals have produced the book Child Delinquents: Development, Intervention, and Service Needs. Presenting empirically derived insights, Child Delinquents is the definitive statement to date on the working knowledge of prevalence, development, risk and protective factors, and optimal intervention with preteen offenders. This book is an excellent source for a broad audience of researchers, scholars, psychiatry, and practitioners at the administrative level.

Download or read book The SAGE Encyclopedia of Classroom Management written by W. George Scarlett and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 967 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A teacher’s ability to manage the classroom strongly influences the quality of teaching and learning that can be accomplished. Among the most pressing concerns for inexperienced teachers is classroom management, a concern of equal importance to the general public in light of behavior problems and breakdowns in discipline that grab newspaper headlines. But classroom management is not just about problems and what to do when things go wrong and chaos erupts. It’s about how to run a classroom so as to elicit the best from even the most courteous group of students. An array of skills is needed to produce such a learning environment. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Classroom Management raises issues and introduces evidence-based, real-world strategies for creating and maintaining well-managed classrooms where learning thrives. Students studying to become teachers will need to develop their own classroom management strategies consistent with their own philosophies of teaching and learning. It is hoped that this work will help open their eyes to the range of issues and the array of skills they might integrate into their unique teaching styles.
