Research on PBS Training Effectiveness
Staff Training Effectiveness
In one study, 85% of staff successfully completed Positive Behaviour Support training by demonstrating all required classroom and on-the-job skills. [Karola Dillenburger]
Another study found that staff knowledge scores improved significantly, rising from 26% before training to 74% at 16 weeks after training, and reaching 95% at 20 weeks post-training.
Impact on Challenging Behaviours
In one study, 56% of cases showed significant improvements in challenging behaviour after staff training on positive behaviour support awareness training. Additionally, a different study revealed a statistically significant reduction in targeted challenging behaviours at a 3-month follow-up. [PUBMED]
However, one study noted a significant reduction in challenging behaviour, but no significant improvement in quality of life at the 6-month follow-up.
Staff Confidence and Support
Post-training, 94% of school leaders and teachers felt at least fairly confident in managing misbehaviour. Furthermore, 96% felt confident in helping pupils understand how to behave well.
Despite this, 52% of school teachers agreed that support from senior leaders helps them effectively manage persistently disruptive behaviour.
Organisational Implementation
90% of schools reported systematically recording data on pupil behaviour. Additionally, 83% used behaviour data to guide their approach to managing pupil behaviour.
While these statistics indicate positive outcomes from behaviour training, it’s important to recognise that results can vary across different studies and settings. Ongoing research and improvements in training methods are essential to enhance effectiveness in reducing challenging behaviours and improving the quality of life for those receiving support.
