Download or read book Effectiveness of a Social Skills Curriculum on Preschool Prosocial Behavior and Emotion Recognition written by Laura Kuebel and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preschool children in public school programs are expelled at three times the rate of their K-12 peers. Research demonstrates a decreased emphasis on social-emotional skill development in preschool, despite high incidences of problem behaviors. The present study investigated the effectiveness of a commercially available social skills curriculum on preschoolers' social-emotional development, specifically their pro-social behaviors and emotion recognition. Results showed that students who participated in the social skills curriculum increased prosocial skills and ability to visually recognize emotions in others. While statistical measures indicate that the intervention did not have a statistically significant impact on student emotion recognition and prosocial behavior, anecdotal reports from participating teachers indicated that the intervention was highly beneficial to participating students. Further, the curriculum had a high level of treatment acceptability by participants' teachers. Implications regarding social emotional curriculum and preschool students' prosocial skill and emotion recognition development are provided.

Download or read book Teaching Social Skills to Urban Students written by Jessica Ubl and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am a fifth grade teacher in an urban charter school working with "at risk" students with social behavioral problems. I wanted to know how to create community with in the classroom because I feel a safe and welcoming atmosphere is necessary for students to learn. I wondered if student interactions would become more positive with the teaching of social skills. My research question was, "What is the impact of teaching social skills in an urban fifth grade classroom?" Several researchers have influenced and supported my interest in teaching social skills. McGinnis and Goldstein (1997) suggested schools needed to create opportunities for students to participate in rule setting and to accept responsibility; students must be taught the skills necessary for prosocial participation in these activities. Jackson, Jackson and Monroe (1983) believe social skill training programs are needed because many children do not acquire critically important social abilities without them. Charney (2002) stresses teachers need to establish an on going curriculum in self-control, social participation, and human development. Lane, Menzies, Barton-Arwood, Doukas, and Munton (2005) state social skills are a necessary component of a student's educational and social success. McGinnis, Jackson, Charney and Lane are just a few researchers that influenced and supported my interest in teaching social skills. I action researched by teaching social skills to my fifth grade students using "Skillstreaming the Elementary School Child: New Strategies and Perspectives for Teaching Prosocial Skills" by McGinnis and Goldstein as my curriculum. I implemented my action research plan in ten days. The first and last days were spent giving a questionnaire survey. The rest of the days I taught the social skills: listening, problem solving, dealing with anger, and apologizing in eight forty-five minute lessons. Two days per social skill. The data I collected was student opinions from the questionnaire surveys and observations before, during, and after the teaching of social skills. I wanted to know if teaching the social skill lessons would have an impact on the students' interactions with each other. The results of the surveys were less dramatic than desired. Ideally, I wanted to see all students increase their use of social skills I taught. Listening increased, problem solving and apologizing stayed the same, and anger management decreased. In the students' opinions, problem solving, dealing with anger, and apologizing were the most useful skills to learn. From my observations, problem solving was the most useful and utilized social skill used by the students. I had two predictions for the outcomes of my study. One prediction was that teaching my students social skills would improve their interactions with each other. The other prediction was improved student interaction would create a stronger learning community, thus creating more time for learning. In my opinion, both of my predictions were accurate. According to my observations, student interactions and time for instruction did improve.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to study the effect of the Skillstreaming Program when applied for 10 weeks on socially manifested behavior and academic achieveme nt. The independent variable was the program itself and the two dependant variab les were prosocial skills and academic achievement. Two second grade sections fr om a private school in Lebanon were chosen to participate in the study. The samp le was composed of 46 second graders of which 23 were male and 23 were female. R andom stratified sampling was used to divide students to experimental and contro l groups. The instruments used were the student and teacher behavior checklists provided b y the Skillstreaming program ,GPA, and supportive quatlitative data. The checkli sts were comprised of ten questions, each related to a taught proscial skills on which students were rated. The GPA is calculated per academic semester and repo rted through the use of report cards. The qualitative data was obtained through interviews with the teachers and head of division. The quantitative data obtaine d were analyzed using SPSS for windows. Prosocial skills ratings and GPA scores were compared within and between the two groups, pre and post intervention using t-tests and analysis of covariance. The qualitative data were analyzed by group ing common themes, words, and phrases, and analyzing the results. Results showed a significant increase in prosocial skills as measured by both th e student and teacher checklists for the experimental group. The ANCOVAs also sh owed a significant difference between the experimental and control group on pros ocial skills post intervention. As for GPA scores, the experimental group showed no statistically significant difference pre and post intervention, whereas the control group's GPA scores decreased post intervention. Te results obtained from the qualitative data support the quantitative in terms of the improvement of th e experimental group on social skills.

Download or read book Designing a Prosocial Classroom Fostering Collaboration in Students from PreK 12 with the Curriculum You Already Use written by Christi Bergin and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical how-to guide for promoting positive classroom cultures. A prosocial classroom is easy to spot! Students are engaged in learning, have a warm relationship with the teacher, and can collaborate smoothly; conflicts and behavioral problems are the exception rather than the rule. Not only are students happier in this kind of positive environment, their academic achievement improves. But it's far from obvious how to establish and maintain such a productive and peaceful classroom. In Designing a Prosocial Classroom, Christi Bergin has distilled the complex literature about social-emotional learning into a set of tools that all teachers can use to promote prosocial behavior. As with any skill, fostering kindness and collaboration requires deliberate practice; but it does not require a separate curriculum. These research-based tools—using effective discipline, building prosocial habits, developing positive relationships, modeling good coping strategies—are teaching practices that can be employed within any content area during regular instruction. Each chapter includes authentic classroom vignettes, highlights from the research on prosocial behavior, and questions for reflection and discussion. Designing a Prosocial Classroom is an engaging read and an ideal resource for a school-wide book study group; included in an appendix is a case study for review and discussion of the teaching tools presented in the chapters.
Download or read book The Effects of a Collaborative Parent teacher Social Skills Intervention on Student Behavioral Performance written by Christina Yvette Christian and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multiple baseline across behaviors design explored the effects of parent-teacher collaboration on the behavioral performance of three kindergarten and first grade participants. Teachers and parents in this study collaborated to implement daily lessons using the HOPE Social Skills Curriculum. Data on each participant's behavior were collected across three phases (baseline, intervention, and maintenance) using direct observations, class pass and office referral data. In addition, treatment fidelity and social validity data were collected to determine the extent to which parents and teachers correctly implemented each lesson and to what degree each validated the curriculum. Findings suggest that HOPE Social Skills Curriculum has the potential to effectively increase participants' rule compliance while decreasing class pass and office referrals. Finally, the results show that both parents and teachers socially validate HOPE Social Skills Curriculum.

Download or read book The Roots of Prosocial Behavior in Children written by Nancy Eisenberg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989-08-25 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What kinds of childbearing practices foster the development of helping, sharing, and other prosocial behaviours? What roles do biology and culture play in the development of prosocial behaviour? In this book, Nancy Eisenberg and Paul Mussen review and summarize scholarly research that has been devoted to the development of prosocial behaviour in children, and examine the variety of influences that contribute to children's prosocial development, including the media, parents, peers, biology, culture, personal characteristics, as well as situational determinants. The authors argue that prosocial behaviour can be learned and is modifiable, and they suggest ways that parents, teachers, and other can enhance prosocial development. In addition, the authors attempt to communicate the advances in the study of prosocial development that have taken place over the last decade. The book highlights some questions that have not yet been addressed adequately by researchers, and suggests areas for future work.
