Prevention of risk behaviours through the promotion of socio-emotional competences
Children who enter school with cognitive and social-emotional delays are at risk for behaviour problems, negative relationships with teachers and peers, academic underachievement and other behavioural problems (La Paro & Pianta, 2000 ; Vitaro et al., 2005). Social and emotional skills buffer these types of risk factors by enabling children to engage in school, follow classroom rules, and relate effectively to teachers and peers (Zins et al., 2004). PATHS program (Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies) is one of the most successful programs of universal prevention within preschool and school-based programs. It is designed to increase children’s emotional understanding, self-regulation and problem solving skills. This paper will present the results of PATHS program study conducted during the international project "Implementation of scientifically-based prevention programs focused on social and emotional learning through scientific evaluation and application in Croatian schools and kindergartens". Project was financed by the World Bank’s funds and led by the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Zagreb. Program was implemented in 12 preschool and 30 first grade classrooms in Croatia. In the period from June 2010 until June 2012 control randomized study of preschool and school PATHS curriculum was conducted. The paper will present the effects of PATHS program, with the accent on the analysis of differences between the experimental group who participated in the program and the control group. Results have shown significant impact of the PATHS program on the internalizing symptoms, emotion regulation, peer problems, self-control, aggressive behavior, inattention and hyperactivity symptoms.
