Abstract
Abstract:Children frequently enter elementary school unprepared for its academic and socioemotional challenges. This can lead to challenging behaviors that negatively affect students' educational experiences, put them at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD), and impact relationships with teachers. Despite a large research base on student behavior, little is known about the critical role of teacher attributions, which can affect both teacher responses to challenging behavior and the acceptance of interventions. This systematic review aimed to identify dimensions used in the literature on teacher attributions for challenging student behavior in K–5 classrooms. A search of three databases resulted in 25 peer-reviewed articles with a variety of measures that characterized teacher attributions along three dimensions: locus, controllability, and stability. Further, nearly half the articles divided the dimension of locus into four distinct factors. Implications for practitioners and future research directions are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Education and Treatment of Children (ETC) is devoted to the dissemination of information concerning the development of services for children and youth who are at risk for or experiencing emotional or behavioral problems. A primary criterion for publication is that the material be of direct value to educators, parents, child care providers, or mental health professionals in improving the effectiveness of their services. Therefore, authors are required to compose their manuscripts in a clear, concise style that will be readily understood by the practitioners who are likely to make use of the information.
