본 연구는 2011년부터 2020년까지 게재된 긍정적 행동지원 중재 논문 203편에 대한 연구방법 및 내용을 분석하는 것이다. 연구내용으로는 국내 긍정적 행동지원 중재 논문의 일반현황과 연구방법을 분석하였다. 연구결과를 살펴보면, 첫째, 최근 10년간 발행된 논문은 총 203편이며, 연평균 20편 이상을 출판하였으며, 학술지별 발행논문 수는 정서·행동장애연구, 연구방법으로는 사례연구가 가장 많았다. 둘째, 실험연구의 대상 연령은 영유아, 실험집단 크기는 21∼30명, 실험설계는 단일집단 사전사후 설계, 종속변인은 문제행동 감소+친사회적 행동 향상, 중재수준은 소집단 수준 PBS가 가장 많았다. 셋째, 사례연구의 대상 연령은 초등학생, 장애유형은 지적장애, 실험집단 크기는 1명, 실험설계는 상황간 중다 기초선 설계, 종속변인은 문제행동 감소가 가장 많았다. 넷째, 조사연구의 대상은 특수교사, 조사대상자 수는 101∼150명과 151∼200명, 조사목적은 SWPBS에 대한 인식이 가장 많았다. 다섯째, 문헌연구의 연구 목적은 동향분석, 대상 국가는 국내, 대상은 포괄적인 것, 분석 논문 수는 11∼20편이 가장 많았다. 여섯째, 개발연구는 PBS 평가도구 및 모델, 실행충실도 척도, 평가준거 개발 등이 있었으며, 질적연구는 PBS 참여자들의 경험과 인식을 면담, FGI, 질적분석을 하였다. 이상의 연구결과를 바탕으로 긍정적 행동지원 중재의 개선 방안을 논의 및 제언하였다.

This study analyzed the research methods and contents of 203 positive behavior support interventions published from 2011 to 2020. As the content of the study, the general status and research methods of the domestic positive behavior support intervention papers were analyzed. As for the research results, First, a total of 203 papers have been published in the last 10 years, and more than 20 papers have been published on average per year. The number of papers published by journal is the most common in Journal of Emotional & Behavioral Disorders, and case studies as research methods. Second, the age of the experimental study was infants, the size of the experimental group was 21∼30, the experimental design was the pre-post design of a single group, the dependent variable was reduced problem behavior + improved pro-social behavior, and the level of intervention was at the small group level. Third, the age of the case study was elementary school students, the type of disability was intellectual disabilities, the size of the experiment group was 1, the experiment design was multiple baseline design across setting, and the dependent variable had the most decrease in problem behavior. Fourth, the subjects of the survey research were special teachers, the number of survey subjects was 101∼150 and 151∼200, and the purpose of the survey was the most aware of SWPBS. Fifth, the research purpose of literature research was trend analysis, the target country was domestic, the target was comprehensive, and the number of analyzed papers was the most. Sixth, development studies included PBS evaluation tools and models, implementation fidelity measures, and evaluation criteria development. and In the qualitative study, the experiences and perceptions of PBS participants were interviewed, FGI, and qualitative analysis were conducted. Based on the above research results, we discussed and suggested ways to improve positive behavior support interventions.
