About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Incredible Years Teacher Classroom Management Program in Norwegian School and Day-care Settings: Changes in Students' (6-8 Year) and Children's Behavior (3-6 Year)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether training teacher and staff in the Incredible Years (IY) Teacher Classroom Management (TCM) program reduce behavior problems and promote social competence in student aged 6-8 years (school) and in children aged 3-6 year (day-care). To examine group differences from baseline to 8-9 months after, a quasi-experimental control group design with pre- and post-measurements was used.

Read the detailed description

Evaluation of the Incredible Years (IY) Teacher Classroom Management (TCM) program implemented as a school-wide preventive intervention in regular school and day-care settings, have the potential to change negative behaviors in children aged 3 - 8 year. Forty-four schools were recruited; comprising 1518 students aged 6-8 year, and 91 day-care units comprising 1049 children aged 3-6 year. Multilevel analyzes were used to examine group differences pre-post changes for behavior problems measured with the Sutter-Eyberg Student Behavior Inventory-Revised (SESBI-R) and the Teacher Report Form (TRF), as well as group differences pre-post change for social behavior measured the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS). For secondary findings, group differences pre-post changes for teacher- student and teacher-children relationship were measured with the Student-Teacher Relationship Scale (STRS) (teachers N= 444), and teacher-parents interactions were measured with the Teacher-Parent Involvement Questionnaire (INVOLVE-T/P) (parents N = 2109), as well as group differences pre-post change for teachers self- and collective efficacy measured the Norwegian Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale (NTSES) and the Collective Efficacy Scale (CES) (teachers N = 3240).

  • IY TCMBehavioural

    The Incredible Years Teacher Classroom Management program is a manualized program for teachers and staff in school and day-care settings to strengthen teacher classroom management strategies, to reduce negative behavior and promote prosocial behavior, as well as school readiness in children. Two qualified IY TCM group-leaders (facilitators) train teachers and staff in groups through six full-day workshops (a total of 42 hours).Workshop 1: Building Positive Relationships with Students, Workshop 1b: Preventing Behavior Problems -The Proactive Teacher, Workshop 2: The Importance of Teacher Attention, Coaching and Praise, Workshop 3: Motivating Children Through Incentives, Workshop 4 \& 5: Decreasing Inappropriate Behavior and Workshop 6: Emotional Regulation, Social Skills \& Problem Solving.
