Trending and Emerging
- Trauma-Informed Practices:
An increasing number of studies are focusing on trauma-informed educational practices, recognizing the impact of adverse childhood experiences on students' behavior and learning outcomes. - Mixed Methods Research:
There is a growing trend towards using mixed methods in research, which combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to provide a more comprehensive understanding of interventions and their effectiveness. - Social-Emotional Learning (SEL):
Research on social-emotional learning interventions is gaining momentum, emphasizing the importance of fostering emotional intelligence and resilience in students with EBD to enhance their overall school adjustment. - Culturally Responsive Practices:
Emerging themes highlight the significance of culturally responsive teaching and its impact on behavioral outcomes, particularly for historically marginalized student populations. - Interdisciplinary Collaboration:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Behavior Modification Techniques:
There appears to be a decreasing emphasis on traditional behavior modification techniques, as newer, more holistic approaches that focus on social-emotional learning and trauma-informed practices gain traction. - Generalized Studies on EBD:
Research that broadly categorizes students with emotional and behavioral disorders without considering intersectional factors, such as race, socioeconomic status, or specific behavioral profiles, is becoming less common as the field moves toward more nuanced studies. - Longitudinal Studies with Limited Scope:
There has been a noticeable reduction in the number of longitudinal studies that specifically track behavioral interventions over extended periods, as the focus shifts toward immediate and actionable outcomes in educational settings.
