Knowledge of teaching and learning in educational contexts

Students will be introduced to the range of behaviours problem issues including: when behaviour becomes problem behaviour; differing professional views of behaviour; home, school and community issues in addressing behaviour problems; mental ill-health and mental health issues; and, specific behaviours including both internalising and externalising behaviours.

The aim of this topic is to:

• explore the issues in defining a behaviour problem
• explore different professional views of behaviour
• examine the effects of home, school and community influences on behaviour
• understand the relationship between mental ill-health, mental health and behaviour problems
• explore the educational implications of a variety of specific behaviour problems including externalising and internalising behaviours

On completion of the topic students will be able to:

• define a behaviour problem in context
• demonstrate understanding of how different professions identify a behaviour problem and provide support for addressing the behaviour
• explain the interaction between home, school and community factors in identifying and addressing behaviour needs
• describe the relationship between mental health and ill-health behaviours and the impact these have on actions by families and professionals
• demonstrate understanding of the application of research on identification and education of students with a range of specific behaviours
