Item The Effect of a Verbal De-escalation Crisis Intervention Program on the Self Awareness of Middle School Students in a Behavior Learning Support Self-Contained Classroom(2013-05) Parker, Evan W.; Masters of EducationThe purpose of this study was to create and implement a verbal de-escalation procedural plan that staff can teach and students can implement in order to cut down on physical restraint in a Behavior Learning Support (BLS) self-contained classroom for students with behavioral issues. The study was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test/post-test assessment strategy. The purpose was to determine if the students who received elements of a Learned Resourcefulness curriculum during a social skills class gained self-awareness of what leads to a crisis. Selfawareness did increase from the results of a pre-survey and post-survey, resulting in the null hypothesis that self-awareness would not increase, not being supported. Overall, further research across a larger population is recommended due to the increase in self-awareness.Item Effects of Skillstreaming Skills Lessons on Middle School Conflict(2014-08) Young, Nadiera; Masters of EducationThe purpose of this study was to examine the impact of Skillstreaming lessons on the amount of conflict recorded by middle school students. The measurement tool used was a data collection sheet where the students recorded the number of conflicts encountered for a total of four weeks, two weeks before and after the Skillstreaming lessons. This study was pre-experimental using a one group pretest posttest design. There was no significant difference between the mean number of conflicts per student before Skillstreaming and after Skillstreaming. Although there is significant research in this area, it should be extended understanding that conflict is ever-changing.
