Abstract

Disruptive behaviors in the Early Childhood Education classroom: perceptions and teaching practices analyzed from Positive Discipline

 

 

ABSTRACT

 

Disruptive behaviors can be understood as those that occur in some children frequently and with great intensity, without an adaptive purpose and that usually cause discomfort in the classroom and can even, in certain cases, cause harm. These behaviors represent an important challenge for teaching in Early childhood education. Therefore, our objective was to Analyze the disruptive behaviors that occur in children aged 4 to 5 years old, from an approach based on Positive Discipline. This model of parenting and support, widely disseminated in recent years, has allowed us to move from traditional views and practices to other affective and respectful ones that could be defined thanks to the analysis of teaching narratives. In this process, 5 early education teachers from two educational centers in the province of Azuay participated, with whom we conducted in-depth interviews; classroom observations aimed at 13 previously identified cases of disruptive behaviors; and discussion groups with emphasis on case analysis. The findings revealed, on one hand, the relationships between parenting styles and the emergence of disruptive behaviors in early childhood, as well as the impact of these on the socio-affective development of boys and girls and, on the other hand, the perceptions and teaching practices in addressing these behaviors that can be grouped into behavioral, cognitive-constructivist and social approaches.
