Effectiveness of the Teacher Module of the Prevention Program for Externalizing Problem Behaviour in Preschoolers (PEP-TE)
May 10, 2011 updated by: German Research Foundation
Effectiveness of Guiding Teachers in Individualized Behavioral Intervention Strategies With Preschool Children Indicated for Externalizing Problem Behavior
Investigating effectiveness of the cognitive-behavioral based teacher training under routine care conditions by comparison of a baseline-interval with no special intervention to a following interval of PEP for the kindergarten teachers only each focussing on one child (3-6 years old) that the teacher herself indicated as "needing special attention for externalising behaviour".
Effects on child symptoms and teachers behavior and burden within intervention-period are expected to be stronger than those during waiting-period.

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Findings of the PEP-efficacy-study based on a randomised controlled sampling ((ISRCTN CCT-NAPN-18918) using combined training-modules for parents and teachers showed positive effects on children's behaviour in the intervention-group.
These effects in teacher's view were stronger than in the control-group but could not be proved to be statistically significant.
Moreover after this first step of evaluation there remain unanswered questions concerning the stability of effects after transferring the program in routine care.
Therefore the study is continued by an effectiveness-study.

Experimental: waiting-intervention-course

PEP-TE for kindergarten teachers of children with externalizing behaviour problems aged 3 to 6 years leads to use classical strategies of changing behaviour (defining rules, appropriate commands, positive and negative consequences) based on the "coercive interaction process" (cf.
Patterson, 1982) as explanatory model for target situations.
In 10 units (90-120 minutes) four to six teachers in one group develop individually tailored solutions to specified externalizing behavior problems of the target child.
General strategies of improving positive interactions as well as resources and strategies for reducing stress and gaining new energy are discussed.
Summary and reflection of the teacher' experiences and ideas of changes in routines prevents relapses.
