Working on What Works (WOWW) is a manualized, 10-week classroom intervention based on solution-focused brief therapy. This study evaluates WOWW using a randomized experimental, posttest-only design. The study included 30 fourth and fifth grade classrooms, containing 30 teachers and 413 students. Results indicate no significant differences between WOWW and control groups for student internalizing and externalizing behaviors, student-teacher relationships, student academic performance, or teacher sense of efficacy. However, students in the WOWW group had significantly fewer days absent from school compared with the control group. Additionally, teachers' ratings on WOWW classrooms' performance improved significantly more than teachers' ratings on the control classrooms. Results from this study show that WOWW is a feasible intervention for therapists to use in schools and can be implemented across classrooms in both public and private schools. WOWW has potential to improve student attendance and classroom performance, both of which are important areas of concern for schools.
《发挥作用（WOWW）》是一种基于焦点解决短期疗法的、有手册指导的、为期 10 周的课堂干预措施。本研究采用随机实验、后测设计评估 WOWW。该研究纳入了 30 个四、五年级的班级，包含 30 名教师和 413 名学生。结果表明，WOWW 组与对照组学生的内化和外化行为、师生关系、学生学业成绩或教师效能感均无显著差异。然而，与对照组相比，WOWW 组学生缺课天数明显更少。此外，WOWW 班教师的评价显著高于对照组教师的评价。本研究结果表明，WOWW 是治疗师在学校中使用的一种可行的干预措施，可以在公立和私立学校的各个班级中实施。WOWW 有可能提高学生的出勤率和课堂表现，这两个方面都是学校关注的重要领域。
