Which children develop severely disruptive school behaviour?

该项目通过系统地跟踪250名学龄前六年的儿童，旨在找出导致破坏性学校行为发展、持续和恶化的因素。颠覆性学生行为被认为是澳大利亚学校面临的最重要问题之一。然而，常见的教育回应往往会激化而不是减少问题行为。该项目的目的是在学生的态度和行为仍然相对可塑的情况下，产生关于如何最好地在早年解决这些因素的新知识。

By systematically tracking 250 children through the first six years of school, this project aims to identify factors contributing to the development, perpetuation and exacerbation of disruptive school behaviour. Disruptive student behaviour has been identified as one of the most significant issues confronting Australian schools. Yet common educational responses often inflame rather than reduce problem behaviours. The project aims to produce new knowledge about how best to address those factors in the early years while student attitudes and behaviour are still relatively malleable.
