Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research was to examine factors which effect school adjustment for first-grade students, and two studies were conducted. In study 1, SST was implemented for first-graders with developmental dissabilities, and I investigated thier skill acquisition and its effect to promote participation in group activities. The result demonstrated that students' social skills were improved, however there were little change in participation in activities. In study 2, both in preschool and elementary school, I examined types of problem behaviors, antecedents of problem behaviors, functions of problem behaviors, and how they were mannaged. I found that types of problem behaviors resembled, but environmental factors related to problem behaviors such as antecedents and the way they were managed differed in between preschool and elementary school.
