“…While the reasons for misbehaviour are debated in the academic literature, researchers unanimously agree that it is both complex and multifaceted (Alberto & Troutman, 2006). Hyman (1994) claims that teachers who are poorly trained, overly punitive in their classroom management methods and ineffective in providing engaging instruction for their students, can exacerbate disruptive behaviour in their classes by alienating students.…”

Little is known about the relationship between students' perceptions of their behaviour and intellectual status within the classroom and their happiness. Educational practitioners consistently confront misbehaviour and academic failure; whether this is an indicator of student happiness is unclear. In this exploratory research two hundred and fifty six students were asked to self-rate their happiness via a faces scale. These students also completed a self-concept scale focussed on behavioural adjustment and intellectual and school status to determine whether these were factors that impacted on their happiness. Additionally, parents and teachers rated the participant's happiness. The findings of this research indicate that the students' perceptions of their behaviour and academic capability accounted for variance in their self-rated happiness. Both sub-scales accounted for more variance in the students' self-reported happiness than the teachers' and parents' ratings. The findings of this research are consistent with the few previous studies that attribute social factors such as belonging to childhood happiness.

We used a multiple baseline across subjects design to investigate the effects of self-monitoring on the on-task behavior and spelling accuracy of three fifth-grade students diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) during an independent spelling practice period in the general education environment. We also compared their on-task levels to that of peers without disabilities in the same classroom context before and after the self-monitoring intervention. Our results showed that time on-task and spelling accuracy increased for the students diagnosed with ADHD during independent spelling practice after the teacher taught them how to self-monitor. These same students' on-task behavior also increased to levels comparable to that of their peers. Suggestions for educators interested in teaching their students self-monitoring strategies are included following a discussion of the results of the analysis.
