Problem Analysis
Problem analysis is a very important part of the process in determining reasons why students are displaying challenging behaviors. The following are just some of the many reasons students may be displaying challenging behaviors in the classroom.
- Academic Struggles
- Academic boredom
- Academic disinterest
- Home life
- Stressful events
- Trauma or tragedy
- Poverty or financial struggle
- Displacement
- Hunger
- Low social skills
- Lack of friendship
- Teasing and bullying from peers
- Desire to fit in
- Inability to appropriately communicate with peers
- Negative experiences with teachers
- Negative experiences with administration
- Lack of preparedness of instruction
- Poor time-management within class
- Unsafe or uncomfortable classroom environment
- Ineffective classroom management
Obviously, these being only some of the reasons, it is very challenging to determine what reason or reasons students may have for their challenging behavior. This is why problem analysis is so very important. “For teachers to find effective means of modifying unwanted behaviors, they need to first identify the reasons behind them (Hamlett, 2018, p. 1). Through problem analysis teachers are able to use their resources to ask questions to determine why the challenging behaviors are occurring. they are able to get to the root of the problem, which allows them to have a batter opportunity to come up with a solution to intervene. “To effectively intervene teachers have to have an understanding of the behavior and why it occurs (Young & Martinez, 2016, p. 39).
