“…The aim of this study was to find out how the Skillful-Class intervention method helps students learn self-management and social-emotional skills at school and what the impacts of this intervention are on the relationships among students, teachers, and parents. With both quantitative and qualitative evidence, the current study confirms earlier research findings (DeJong & Berg, 2002;Morgan, 2016;Cepukiene et al, 2018) that SFA can create positive changes. Cepukiene and Pakrosnis' (2011) stated that SFBT can be especially useful for altering behavior.…”

“…This study is based on the solution-focused approach (SFA) that was developed by Insoo Kim Berg andSteve de Shazer in 1980s (DeJong &Berg, 2002;de Shazer, 1985de Shazer, , 1988. SFA has been widely used in practice (Ajmal & Rees, 2001;Alexander & Sked, 2010;Morgan, 2016;Cepukiene, Pakrosnis, & Ulinskaite, 2018). It is a goal-directed, collaborative approach to psychotherapeutic change (Pichot, & Dolan, 2003;Lutz, 2013).…”

Increasing importance is being attached to support students' learning of social-emotional and self-management skills as they may experience all kinds of difficulties and problems at school. How can teachers support students to learn useful skills to overcome these problems? The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the Skillful-Class method, which teachers can use in their classrooms to support students learn social-emotional and self-management skills in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. A Skillful-Class project was conducted in 22 Finnish and 18 Chinese primary school classes. Data was collected by pre-and post-questionnaires from autumn 2018 -spring 2019. Qualitative data was collected using a post questionnaire with open-ended questions, interviews, and discussions on webpages, which were reviewed by content analysis. There is clear evidence showing that students' skills improved significantly; further, the relationships among students, teachers, and parents also improved. The students became more supportive of and collaborative with each other. The teachers' responses also show that their work became easier at school when students learned many social-emotional and self-management skills. Based on these findings, we can conclude that the Skillful-Class method is an effective tool for teachers to help students learn skills. Further, it improves the collaboration among teachers, students, and parents, and builds a supportive and collaborative learning community.

“…Finally, psychological theories that are congruent with PCP, such as self‐determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2020) may also serve to enrich and help practitioners to better align the philosophy of PCP with its intended outcomes. An example is Morgan (2016) using a solution‐focused approach in conjunction with PCP.…”

“…Ellem et al (2019) evaluated a family resourcing and capacity building project in Australia, considering the extent to which it provided knowledge, skills and confidence to families of people with a disability to create a better life. In the United Kingdom, Hughes et al (2019) and Morgan (2016) examined the role of using PATH in promoting organisational change, with school staff, and with a children's services department, respectively. McCausland et al (2021), examined the role of PCP in promoting community inclusion in a learning disability service in Dublin.…”

Young people's views and experiences of person‐centred planning: A systematic literature review

Person‐centred planning (PCP) is both a philosophy and method of service delivery across varied contexts. It is used in pathway planning for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to promote positive transition outcomes. Due to idiosyncratic use, it is unclear how PCP meetings are organised and structured and to what extent this reflects fidelity to PCP as a philosophy. It is also unclear how young people experience PCP meetings and how this impacts transition. To explore this further, a systematic literature review was undertaken from which six studies were included and their data reported using PRISMA guidelines. Drawing upon Gestalt theory as an interpretive lens, findings from these studies suggest that PCP meetings comprise intersecting ‘foreground’ and ‘background’ elements, making PCP meetings a complex space requiring skilled facilitation. Limitations and recommendations for further research and practice are included.

“…Autzen (2018) mentioned also how ideas of change within organizational cultures struggle for survival in an evolutionary Darwinian process similar to biological evolution. Top-down strategies are not enough to bring about change, but must be combined with bottom-up knowledge, shared as explicit knowledge, vital in developing a learning and continuous development organization that is responsible for those changes so necessary for survival, improving the efficiency and performance of the company (Morgan, 2016). Airoldi (2013) defined the crucial points that must be included in any plan to implement organizational change strategies in order to generate cooperation among the organization's stakeholders and ideas that lead to efficiency and performance within the organization, these are encouraging the distribution of the sense of ownership of the parties in the implementation of the strategies, the analysis as a whole and not on the parties to determine the spending opportunities and alternatives in the allocation of budgets and last but not least the realization of a working model based on a clear theoretical framework.…”

This paper aims to research among Romanian companies on how theories of evolutionary psychology, new discoveries in the field of cognitive sciences together with pre-change or during change training can predict and influence the behaviour of human beings but also the behaviour of organizations when they meet change management projects to lead them to a successful implementation. It is well known that most organizations that opt for change management face various challenges during this very expensive process but also the fact that mechanisms of human brain have developed over thousands of years and the speed with which they have evolved is lower than how fast current technologies are developing to create a competitive business environment across the planet. This paper examines how organizations can be focused through theories of evolutionary psychology to support organizational change, whether training employees before or during organizational change is favorable in reducing resistance to change, and whether effective communication aims to improve employee confidence in perceived justice through neuroscience will lead to the successful implementation of change. A quantitative research approach was carried out by using a descriptive and exploratory questionnaire including 44 questions, collecting data from 212 participants, who activate in companies from Romania that have gone through organizational change projects, distributed to subjects through an online platform. In conclusion, this paper offers a new perspective from which to approach organizational change projects, bringing to the fore various key points.
