简要总结
This is an RCT study investigating the efficacy of digital intervention focusing on enhancing positive directing skills for teams of early childhood education (ECE) professionals. The aims are to study 1) changes in the ECEs' self-assessed self-efficacy experience in the intervention group compared to the control group; 2) changes in the behavioral challenges of the children in the ECEs' groups assessed by the parents in the intervention group compared to the control group; and 3) changes in the ECEs' guidance methods in the intervention group compared to the control group. We will also study changes in the wellbeing of ECEs and teamwork in both treatment groups. The sample size will consist of approximately 64 teams of ECEs. Hence, altogether there will be approximately 200 study subjects.
The intervention is aimed at ECE teams and its goal is to strengthen and unify the team positive guidance practices in children's groups. The intervention includes self-learning material and teams online coaching in which the entire team participates simultaneously. The self-material includes 360 videos of everyday situations in the daycare and videos can be watched with VR glasses. The participants practice the skills systematically with their group of children. The duration of the intervention is approximately 12 weeks and team coaching are carried out approximately every two weeks.
