Using solution focused brief therapy in individual referrals for bullying

The authors work in a city local education authority Special Educational Needs Support Service with an Anti-Bullying Project that continues to develop effective approaches to dealing with bullying in schools. This paper describes the project's use of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and reports on the outcomes of a large number of interventions, particularly with pupils of secondary school age. The support group approach, developed within this project and published in Educational Psychology in Practice, is referred to in the government's anti-bullying pack as a key strategy. The authors show that SFBT provides another effective strategy to support pupils vulnerable to bullying in both primary and secondary schools.     

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy: Impacts on Academic and Emotional Difficulties

ABSTRACT

This randomized control trial study evaluated the effectiveness of the solution-focused approach in addressing academic, motivational, and socioemotional needs of 14 children with reading difficulties. The intervention group received five 40-min solution-focused sessions. The control group received academic homework support. Results showed advantages for the intervention condition in 26 out of 38 measures. The mean eta-squared effect size for intervention was .20 (very) large. For the control group, there were only 10 effects favoring it and the mean was .09, a medium sized effect, both significantly greater than 0 (p < .01). Comparisons of the solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) effect sizes to the mean of the control showed it was significantly larger (p < .001), confirming that SFBT was an efficacious intervention in this sample.     

Solution‐focused Work in Individual Academic Development

There is one account in the literature of the application of a solution‐focused approach to individual teaching development at university level (Devlin, 2003 Devlin, M. 2003. A solution‐focused model for improving individual university teaching. International Journal for Academic Development, 8(1/2): 77–89.  [Google Scholar]). The solution‐focused approach is based on solution‐focused brief therapy (SFBT). The current paper elaborates on the existing account, further outlining and illustrating the techniques that make up the solution‐focused approach to academic development. The central tenets of SFBT‐based academic development and the core components of solution‐focused work are articulated. Current research in this area is outlined.

Il existe, au sein de la documentation, un exemple de l’approche centrée sur la solution appliquée au domaine du développement pédagogique individuel à l’université (Devlin). L’approche centrée sur la solution se base sur la notion de solution‐focused brief therapy (SFBT) (thérapie brève orientée vers la solution). Le présent article décrit, explique et illustre les techniques qui font partie de l’approche centrée sur la solution appliquée au développement pédagogique. Les principes centraux du développement pédagogique inspiré de la SFBT, de même que les éléments au c?ur d’une démarche centrée sur la solution sont décrits en détail, ainsi que les recherches actuellement entreprises dans ce domaine.

A solution‐focused model for improving individual university teaching

Universities commonly use individual teaching development as one of a suite of strategies to improve teaching and learning outcomes. This paper outlines an individual teaching development programme based on the tenets of solution‐focused brief therapy (SFBT). The programme was trialled with a senior lecturer of a large third‐year subject in an Australian university. The approach resulted in evidence of positive changes in teaching. The potential and wider application of this approach is considered.

发声、共鸣与吐字:三种唱法的技术层面比较

美声、民族和通俗唱法是我国当前乐坛上齐驱并进的三种主要唱法,不仅社会影响较大,而且也是声乐学习者的主要学习唱法。在经历了自身的历史沿革和发展之后,这三种唱法已经成为具有各自鲜明特色的声乐艺术体系和演唱艺术方法体系。虽然关于三种唱法的艺术风格、审美感染力的研究已经相对较多,然而对于专业人员来说,在唱法的技术和技巧层面上对这三者有清晰而又透彻的理解与把握仍然非常重要,同时这三种唱法还是音乐教学研究和舞台演出的扎实基础。基于这种考虑,通过对美声、民族和通俗三种唱法的发声、共鸣、吐字等唱法的基本技巧的理论认知、实践阐释和比较研究,剖析三种唱法各自的强调要点以及由此而形成的声音形象特征,探讨三种唱法的共同规律和舞台演出的转化。     

An Evaluation of an EDY Course in Behavioural Techniques for Classroom Assistants in a School for Children with Severe Learning Difficulties

This study is an evaluation of a behavioural skills training course (known as the Education of the Developmentally Young‐‐EDY) which was run for eight classroom assistants (all trained nursery nurses) at an ESN (S) school in Manchester. It arose out of a previous study (Farrell, 1982) which suggested that while teachers improved their practical skills following EDY training, classroom assistants did not. In this study the classroom assistants were filmed working with an individual child on four occasions; twice prior to their training, once immediately following it and once more ten weeks later. The video tapes were randomly arranged and shown to two independent and trained raters. The raters rated the classroom assistants on four aspects of behavioural teaching, all of which are integral parts of the EDY course. The results showed that taking all the teaching techniques together, the classroom assistants made significant gains following training but that these gains were only evident on two of the behavioural techniques when they were analysed separately. When comparing the findings of this work with other studies, the main conclusion is that, although classroom assistants do benefit from EDY training, their progress may not be so marked as that of classroom teachers.     

Literacy skills in children with cochlear implants: the importance of early oral language and joint storybook reading

The goal of this study was to longitudinally examine relationships between early factors (child and mother) that may influence children's phonological awareness and reading skills 3 years later in a group of young children with cochlear implants (N = 16). Mothers and children were videotaped during two storybook interactions, and children's oral language skills were assessed using the "Reynell Developmental Language Scales, third edition." Three years later, phonological awareness, reading skills, and language skills were assessed using the "Phonological Awareness Test," the "Woodcock-Johnson-III Diagnostic Reading Battery," and the "Oral Written Language Scales." Variables included in the data analyses were child (age, age at implant, and language skills) and mother factors (facilitative language techniques) and children's phonological awareness and reading standard scores. Results indicate that children's early expressive oral language skills and mothers' use of a higher level facilitative language technique (open-ended question) during storybook reading, although related, each contributed uniquely to children's literacy skills. Individual analyses revealed that the children with expressive standard scores below 70 at Time 1 also performed below average (<85) on phonological awareness and total reading tasks 3 years later. Guidelines for professionals are provided to support literacy skills in young children with cochlear implants.

Unsolved issues in teaching content: A critique of a lesson on federalist paper no. 10

Our knowledge of effective teaching comes from the teaching of skills, but it is difficult to apply that knowledge to a lesson like this which teaches content. Some of the findings from the teaching of skills include checking for student understanding, providing for active participation by all students, providing for a high success, correcting guided practice, and independent practice. But we have not yet developed techniques for conducting these activities when teaching content. The paper concludes with some suggestions from recent research on the teaching of content.

Enablers and barriers to Educational Psychologists’ use of therapeutic interventions in an Irish context

Recent years have seen a revived interest in therapeutic educational psychology practice. The aim of this research is to identify the range of therapeutic approaches being delivered by Educational Psychologists (EPs) in an Irish context and to elicit the views of practitioners on the facilitators and barriers to therapeutic provision. Twelve participants were recruited from a total of 22 EPs working within one region of the National Educational Psychological Service (NEPS). Individual semi-structured interviews were held, and thematic analysis was used to examine the data gathered. Therapeutic approaches most commonly used by participants were Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Barriers perceived by EPs as impacting therapeutic practice related to time, government policy, school factors, EP role, and training. Facilitators included service support, intervention outcomes and media interest. Findings suggest that many EPs are applying therapeutic approaches and are keen to provide more within their professional role.

Testing a model of science process skills acquisition: An interaction with parents' education,preferred language,gender, science attitude,cognitive development,academic ability,and biology knowledge

Path analysis techniques were used to test a hypothesized structural model of direct and indirect causal effects of student variables on science process skills. The model was tested twice using data collected at the beginning and end of the school year from 67 9th- and 10th-grade biology students who lived in a rural Franco-American community in New England. Each student variable was found to have significant effects, accounting for approximately 80% of the variance in science process skills achievement. Academic ability, biology knowledge, and language preference had significant direct effects. There were significant mediated effects by cognitive development, parents' education, and attitude toward science in school. The variables of cognitive development and academic ability had the greatest total effects on science process skills. Implications for practitioners and researchers are discussed.
