Teacher Usage and Perceptions of Evidence-Based Resources for Working with Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders

ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of West Georgia
The purpose of this study was to determine whether teachers working with students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) are familiar with the resources shown to be most effective at improving student outcomes in this population and to what extent they are utilizing evidence-based practices in their classrooms. It also sought to gather teachers' perceptions of the effectiveness of the resources they have used and what resources they find to have the greatest impact on student outcomes. A survey was used to collect responses from 106 teachers in the United States. Results revealed that of the 13 resources listed, over 2/3 of participants had only ever heard of 3 -- PBIS, FBAs, and Social Skill Training. Teachers with a higher percentage of students with EBD were more likely to be familiar with the resources on the survey. Participants gave favorable effectiveness ratings to all of the resources they had used, with the same three resources receiving the highest ratings.
