摘要：This study has two aims: 1) to explore classroom teachers’ experiences regarding the presenting
psychological difficulties of their students; and, 2) to understand how they try to help those students and
whether or not their intervention is effective. This study is qualitative in nature. Semi-structured individual
interviews were conducted with 35 volunteer teachers from primary and high schools located in different parts
of Ankara. The subjects taught by the participating teachers varied. Each participant was asked the following
questions: 1-Based on your experiences, what are the psychological difficulties most often faced by your
students? 2- How do you respond to their presenting psychological difficulties? and, 3- Do you think that your
responses are effective? Descriptive and content analysis procedures were utilized. Four categories of
psychological difficulties and six categories of widely used intervention strategies were identified. Results and
implications are discussed.
