Abstract:
This study focused on assessing the impact of a specialized training program
in dealing with victim behavior among teenagers. A total of 200 social
educators from Kazakhstan participated in the study, evenly divided into an
experimental group, which underwent training, and a control group, which
did not receive training. A 100-point test was used in the study to evaluate
pre-and post-training assessments. The average score on the pre-tests in both
groups was 43. After the training, a significant increase in scores was
observed in the experimental group, averaging 75.74, indicating the
effectiveness of the training. The control group showed a slight increase with
an average post-test score of 48.73. Statistical analysis underscored the
impact of the training. Paired sample t-test for the experimental group
revealed a significant mean difference with a significant value (p<0.001).
The change in the control group was also significant but small (p<0.001).
Independent samples t-test between the group results after testing indicated
that the success of the experimental group was significantly higher
(p<0.001). These results demonstrate the value of targeted training to
enhance the capabilities of social educators in managing the behavior of
victimized adolescents, emphasizing the need for such specialized programs
in educational institutions.
