Sažetak
Behavioural disorders represent a range of behavioural patterns that reflect on problems in overall behaviour, not just in one of behavioural dimensions. This paper aims to gain into the experiences of school professionals: a) working with students with behavioural disorders ; b) their perspective of teachers’ reactions on students’ behaviour ; c) working in the cooperation with various institutions and organizations in order to prevent and resolve students’ behaviour disorders. In the study snowball sampling was applied. Ten school professionals from primary and secondary schools in the City of Zagreb were participants of this research: six pedagogues, two psychologists, one speech therapist and one social pedagogue. Semi-structured interviews for qualitative data collection were used and grounded theory was used for data analysis. The results have shown that bulling, delinquency, non-respectful behaviour towards teachers, truancy and other behavioural problems are recognized in school environment. Regarding teachers reactions on students’behaviour they claim that teachers do not use efficient approach towards students who do have behavioural problems. They usually do not have needed tolerance and understanding for these students which usually results with disturbed relationships between student and teacher. School professionals also declare that the co- operation with non-school institutions (centres for social welfare, police, dormitory administration) is not successful and helpful enough (important information about the student is not assessable and prompt). The results indicate the necessity to: a) provide professional support for teachers and their permanent education in coping with students’ behaviour disorder ; b) improve inter-institutional co-operation and collaboration with student’s family in order to reduce students’ behaviour disorders and improve their educational and social capacities.
