Determining the Problem Behavior Management Strategies of Preschool Teachers in Inclusive Settings

Abstract

Problem behavior refers to behaviors that are developmentally inappropriate, harmful to oneself or others, and systematically repeated. Such behaviors have a negative impact on the learning environment. The purpose of this study is to identify the challenges faced by preschool teachers working in inclusive/integration environments and the strategies they use to manage problem behaviors. To address this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 preschool teachers. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis and discussed in the context of the existing literature. The analysis yielded a total of 5 themes and 31 sub-themes. These themes were categorized under two main areas: perceived challenges and intervention strategies. Exploration of the themes revealed that teachers faced difficulties for many different reasons, such as inadequate physical/environmental resources in their classrooms, difficulties in collaboration processes, and limitations in interventions for problem behaviors. Furthermore, a key finding was that teachers mostly reported feeling inadequate and needing support when working with children with special needs
