BEHAVIORAL CONTROL OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH AS A PREREQUISITE FOR PRIMARY PREVENTIVE EDUCATIONAL ACTION

Summary/Abstract: In the system of modern living, we recognize various forms of socially unacceptable behaviors of children and youth. We are witnessing their aggression towards peers and other people, children's irritability, excessive conformity, and other inappropriate behaviors. The fact is that such behaviors have a negative impact on their learning and development. Also, their behaviors determine the direction of their growing up, adaptation to new environments and moral judgment. The goal of our research was to determine whether, and in what way, preventive educational work with high school students are realized, in order to prevent their unacceptable behaviors. We applied the descriptive method and the content analysis procedure in our research. For the purposes of this research, we have prepared a non-standardized interview for students and their parents. The sample used in our research consisted of high school students in the Republic of Serbia (N = 64) and their parents (N = 64). The results of the research confirm that parents and educational institutions do not pay enough attention to preventive educational work with children/students, nor do they perform it adequately. The outcome of this research includes determining measures to improve educational work with children and youth, in the context of primary prevention of their unacceptable behaviors.
