Description

The meta-analysis organizes classroom management programs by coding each included intervention for the presence or absence of four categories of strategies. As the article states, "Programs were coded for the presence/absence of four categories of strategies: focusing on the teacher, on student behavior, on students’ social-emotional development, and on teacher–student relationships." This taxonomy serves as the organizing framework for the moderator analyses of which strategy foci drive intervention effectiveness in primary education.
