ABSTRACT

Several schools and state departments of education are leveraging prevention frameworks such as School-Wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS) to address problem behavior in schools, with the ultimate goal of improving academic achievement and producing lasting effects later in life. Much of the research demonstrating the promise of SWPBS has been conducted in the US and focused on near-term impacts, with less exploration of the various international adoptions of the model in other countries, and no studies exploring the longer term impact. This study leverages population-wide Danish administrative registry data (2006–2016) to examine the effect of the Danish/Norwegian adoption of SWPBS on the in-school outcome academic achievement and the out-of-school outcomes enrollment in upper secondary education, unemployment, and crime using a difference-in-differences (DD) design. The DD indicated an improvement in academic achievement in the 2nd and 3d year of implementation at schools likely to have implemented the program.

摘要

几所学校和州教育部门正在利用诸如全校积极行为支持（SWPBS）之类的预防框架来解决学校中的问题行为，其最终目标是提高学业成绩并在以后的生活中产生持久的影响。证明SWPBS前景的许多研究都是在美国进行的，并且关注的是近期影响，而其他国家对该模型的各种国际采用的探索较少，也没有研究长期影响的研究。这项研究利用了丹麦全国范围内的行政管理机构注册数据（2006-2016年）来检验丹麦/挪威采用SWPBS对高中教育的学业成果和校外就读率，失业率的影响，和使用差异差异（DD）设计的犯罪。DD表示，可能已实施该计划的学校在实施的第二年和第三年的学业成绩有所提高。
