84 regular classroom teachers completed four self-report personality scales (self-concept, tolerance, locus of control, and teachers' efficacy) and reviewed hypothetical records of three types of students (withdrawn, acting-out, and neutral) and made decisions for referral for each student to special education. Scores for self-concept, tolerance, locus of control, and teachers' efficacy were not related to their decisions to refer across types of students.

This study investigated whether the perceptions of resource room teachers, regular classroom teachers, and principals differ in what they think the role of the resource teacher should be and what they know it actually is. The responses indicate considerable agreement among educator groups in their estimations of the percentage of time actually and ideally allotted to eight role activities, with support for more time in communication and consultation roles and less time in clerical and miscellaneous tasks. Principals perceptions of the percentage of time resource room teachers spend in actual roles were in considerable agreement with the responses of the resource teachers. Although this was not true for the estimates of the classroom teachers, this group was the most supportive of increased resource room teacher participation in communication and consultation activities.

A lo largo de la literatura científica, se observa que los estudios que evalúan la eficacia de los programas escolares de prevención del abuso de sustancias han empleado una amplia gama de agentes de intervención. Sin embargo, en España, los programas escolares en la práctica cotidiana, en su gran mayoría, son aplicados únicamente por el profesorado de los centros escolares. A este respecto algunas investigaciones sugieren que la variable tipo de aplicador afecta a la eficacia de los programas escolares de prevención del consumo de drogas. En este artículo se presenta una revisión de estudios que comparan los resultados obtenidos en los programas escolares cuando son aplicados por los profesores habituales del aula frente a otros agentes externos al centro. Tomados en conjunto, los resultados de los estudios revisados son contradictorios y, por tanto, la evidencia no es concluyente. No obstante, se destaca el papel moderador de la variable tipo de monitor sobre los efectos de los programas. Por último, se recomienda conducir estudios que evalúen las características específicas o competencias que ha de poseer un monitor eficaz y cómo el entrenamiento puede contribuir a su adquisición o mejora. AbstractThroughout the scientific literature shows that studies evaluating the effectiveness of school-based substance abuse prevention programs have used a wide range of intervention agents. Nevertheless, in Spain, the school-based programs in daily practice, the vast majority, are applied only by regular classroom teachers of schools. In this regard, some research suggests that the variable type of applicator affects the effectiveness of school-based programs for drug prevention. This article presents a review of studies comparing the results obtained in the school-based programs when applied by regular classroom teachers to other external contributors. Taken together, the results of the reviewed studies are contradictory and, therefore, the evidence is not conclusive. However, it highlights the moderating role of the variabletype of monitor on the effects of programs. Finally, it is recommended to lead studies to evaluate the specific characteristics or skills that must have an effective monitor as the training can contribute to its acquisition or improvement.
