Abstract: (645 Views)
Objective and Context: The present study aims to examine the effectiveness of life skills education on behavioral problems and resilience in working children in the city of Karaj.
Research Method: This research is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design, involving two groups: an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 15 participants. The target population of the study was male working children aged 7 to 13 years in Karaj, who had social work files in child labor care centers during the 2023-2024 academic year. The sampling method used was census sampling. The research instruments included the Achenbach Teacher Report Form (2001) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003) (CD-RIS). The life skills education program was implemented in 12 sessions, with three 45-minute sessions each week. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.
Findings: The results indicated that life skills education had a significant impact on the behavioral problems of working children in Karaj, leading to a reduction in problems across 5 out of 8 general dimensions. However, this education did not have a significant effect on enhancing the resilience of the children.
Discussion: To improve the resilience of working children, longer and more comprehensive educational programs are needed, along with attention to environmental factors. By implementing these changes, it is hoped that educational programs can have more positive effects on resilience and the overall life conditions of working children.
