Annotation

The study aimed to examine the students who have experienced violence. A research was conducted on students between the fourth and sixth grades who experienced community violence to determine their learning and behavioral change. Researchers asserted that schools need to develop intervention programs to help in promoting educational growth and behavioral management among students exposed to violence. Community violence tends to cause anxiety among students, thus affecting their ability to study effectively. The article is significant to the study because it provides an insight into how exposure to community violence can impact their behavior and hinder effective learning.

Journal Article

Annotation

Usually, students undergoing emotional/ or behavioral disturbances tend to display ongoing and varied academic, emotional, medical, and behavioral issues. These challenges have a negative influence on the educational abilities of these students. This article discussed the various inadequate and ineffective educational interventions that failed to enhance students' learning abilities. Based on the information presented, the US Presidential commission authors argue that there is a necessity to implement mental health systems in schools to help identify behavioral and other mental issues and place the necessary interventions in place. School-based interventions have been implemented to ensure that students' emotional and behavioral disorders are addressed to enhance their learning abilities. Schools are encouraged to prioritize teachers to have the proper training for promoting engagement in students with emotional and behavioral disorders. As a source, it is significant for enlightening teachers on the appropriate interventions to put in place and enhance learning.

Journal article

Annotation

The source focuses on understanding the special needs and issues that students with disabilities, particularly those with emotional and behavioral disorders, face while in the classroom. Research indicates that students with disabilities experience poor academic teachers who need special challenges compared to those without the disorder. In this case, teachers need special skills to sustain their interventions that can overspill from school to careers.

Annotation

The focus of the journal is the self-regulatory behavior management among students through academic writing. The self-management process starts with directions from the teachers and ends with students' ability to demonstrate thoughts organization in independent behavior regulations. The idea is to facilitate the students' learning and behavior management.

Journal Article

Annotation

The article presents a study on the effectiveness of learning in normal classrooms among students with Emotional or behavioral disorders. The study indicates that 95% of all students with disabilities in normal classrooms, especially those with emotional or behavioral disorders, barely receive a minimum of the education. Teachers have to spend a lot of time managing the high level of disruptive behaviors among students. Researchers argue that appropriate classroom management can promote greater learning for all learners, including those with disabilities.

Journal article

Annotation

The journal aims to compare the effectiveness of self-monitoring intervention and an interdependent group contingency to help students with emotional and behavioral disorders to improve their behavior. According to the study, a self-monitoring intervention in a game may be applicable as an interdependent intervention. The authors concluded that there was improvement among students who used games as reminders of behavior management. Essentially, the source is essential in informing teachers on the effectiveness of the self-monitoring interventions and when they are appropriate for the application.

Journal Article

Annotation

The authors of the article assert that educators develop strategic methods to direct them on self-regulation skills to promote metacognitive skills and academic skills in learners who may often take part in classroom misbehavior. Essentially, the main aim is for students with EBD to practice self-monitoring, which helps in improving both academic and behavioral productivity. Self-motivation also aims at motivating students to behave appropriately.

Journal Article

Annotation

According to the article, parents and teachers can help identify children with emotional and behavioral challenges. This is usually associated with the minor of the principle prevention programs to protect children from harm. These preventive programs are enhanced to protect students at risk of being labeled as special needs because of their behaviors. Essentially, the article is significant as it helps identify the critical role and responsibilities played by teachers and parents to protect students with disabilities and ensure that they have learning opportunities, especially those with emotional or behavioral disorders.

Report

Annotation

The source is a report on the parents-teacher action research that was put in place as an early detection and intervention project. The program was developed and implemented to prevent serious emotional disturbances among children and youths suffering from emotional or behavioral disorders. The collaboration between teachers and parents is essential in helping students develop social skills, educational advancement, and behavioral management. The environment and surrounding in which students are in both at school, and home determine their behavior.

Throughout the selection process, I have learned that students with emotional or behavioral disorders tend to have difficulties learning compared to their peers. For that reason, to improve and enhance their learning abilities, teachers and parents should work together to establish the most appropriate intervention. From the search, several forms of sources were available, including journal articles, books. Of the two sources, I realized that those from the library were more comprehensive and in-depth than those from the web. The majority of these sources contained studies with accurate information in the form of data and findings from the study. Besides, the scholarly-based articles provided more research-based information from reliable and credible researchers.
