Abstract Details

2011, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, EDU Physical Activity and Educational Services.
Current exclusionary disciplinary practices used in American schools are problematic for several reasons. Exclusionary discipline is ineffective in changing behavior, it perpetuates the problems which account for negative outcomes for students, and it uses valuable resources wastefully. Furthermore, multiple studies have been published suggesting that students with a disability, male students, and students of minority ethnicity are disproportionately represented in exclusionary discipline referrals, suggesting that a larger societal problem of discrimination may exist. Researchers have long written about the influence of social and emotional competencies on positive life outcomes as well as the influence of school problems on negative life outcomes. The following study examines the relationship among demographic variables, social and emotional competencies as perceived by teachers, and exclusionary discipline. The researcher chose a strength-based instrument to measure competencies. As a result, the benefits of using a strength-based measure are also discussed. Results of the study indicate that social and emotional learning plays a significant role in student outcome. Implications for teachers, administrators, teacher trainers, and other school personnel are discussed.
