The Effects of Social Emotional Learning Techniques on Aggressive Behavior in Elementary School Students
Alesha Nicole Blue
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Northcentral University
One of the areas that was the topic of discussion amongst educational stakeholders was behavior. This includes incentives, intervention systems, awards, and consequences, addressing an individual vs addressing an entire group, triggers, and/or past influences, to name a few. Behavior is a broad topic and naturally, educators are interested in being provided with tactics and techniques to address behaviors to maximize instruction time and eliminate class disruptions. The specific problem was that educators identified aggressive behavior as a major concern in Title I elementary schools in Southern Maryland. The purpose of this quantitative ex post facto causal-comparative study was to determine the effectiveness of social-emotional learning meditation and relaxation techniques on overall suspension rates and suspensions categorized as attacks/threats/fighting in K-5 students in Title I elementary schools in Southern Maryland. The framework for this study was social and emotional learning so the meditation program, Move This World was introduced to provide students with social and emotional learning. The study compared the suspension data from the 2018-2019 school year to the suspension data from the 2019-2020 school year. The suspensions categorized as attacks/threats/fighting were also analyzed and compared for those two years. The paired samples t-test found that the difference was not statistically significant between those years and failed to reject the null hypothesis. The results of the study were limited because the site did not grant access to the information necessary to thoroughly analyze the data. Future research should be able to obtain the information needed to conclude the study. Future research should also use a larger sample size and analyze suspension data across multiple school districts.
