Sažetak
Challenging behaviour occurs during early childhood as a part of typical development, but it can also be an early indication of social- emotional problems. Given that challenging behaviour can have a strong influence on later development and well-being, it is important to identify problems as early as possible in order to implement early intervention and prevention efforts. Preschool teachers have a significant role in identification and prevention of those behaviours. The aim of this study was to examine the perceptions of preschool teachers related to the frequency of the challenging behaviours observed in their classrooms. A sample of 204 teachers working in Kindergarten Rijeka kindergarten completed the Challenging Behavior of Preschool Children Scale created for this study. Factor analysis revealed a two- factor structure: (1) internalizing and (2) externalizing behaviours and the scales showed good psychometric properties. Preschool teachers reported higher mean ratings of internalizing than externalizing behaviour. However, five of the individual items for externalizing behaviors were rated higher than the items for internalizing behaviours. Thus, while preschool teachers do observe both internalizing and externalizing behaviours, a number of externalizing behaviors are the most frequently observed challenging behaviors in their classrooms.
