A Randomized Controlled Trial of Tuning in to Kids in Norwegian FUS Kindergartens

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2020

1,300 participants

Abstract

The proposed project will aim to evaluate the impact of the Tuning in to Kids program for teachers using a randomised controlled research design with 48 kindergartens across Norway (Oslo, Trondheim and Bergen). Kindergartens will be randomised into intervention or 12-month wait list control. Measures will be given to kindergarten leaders, teachers, parents and in a subset of kindergartens children. Intervention kindergartens will receive training in how to be more emotion coaching as well as helping teachers understand and manage their own emotions. Primary outcomes are teachers' responsiveness to children's emotions and the overall classroom functioning/climate. Secondary outcomes are impacts on kindergarten functioning, staff absences/turn over, parents reports of children's emotional, behavioural and social functioning.

Conditions: Emotional Intelligence.

Primary outcome: Change in Coping with Toddler's Negative Emotions Scale (CTNES); Change in Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS).

Enrollment: 1300 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 1,300 participants or records.
