INTERVENTION STRATEGIES OF REGULAR ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM TEACHERS FOR STUDENTS WITH BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS

This study sought to explore intervention strategies employed by teachers in teaching pupils with behavioral problems through qualitative research using phenomenological design. To gather the data, the researcher conducted semi-formal virtual interviews with four teachers. The data gathered through the interviews were triangulated with document analysis of the pupil’s behavioral logbook. Three themes, collaborating with others to have a common rule, collaborating with others to have a calmer, and collaborating with others to have an angel, emerged from the study. Based on the findings, managing student behavior is not the sole responsibility of the classroom teacher; rather, it needs the cooperation of everyone in the school. Collaboration as an intervention strategy in managing behavior and teaching children with behavioral problems is a powerful tool. The study recommends exploring strategies in other grade levels and including classroom observation to triangulate data gathered.
