PREDICTORS OF BEHAVIOUR DISORDERS WITH

S u m m a r y The aim of this research is to find the connection between school conduct and achievement and behaviour disorders with elementary school children (N=242) and to establish its predictive values. The research’s aim is linked to planning of adequate interventions for elementary school children at risk or with already evident behaviour disorders based on the obtained indicators. The results have shown that there is a connection between school conduct and smoking as a problematic form of behaviour, while the connection between school achievement and behaviour disorders has not been shown as statistically significant. The applicative value of the obtained results is shown through the identification of guidelines for preventive interventions on the level of the local community. It is also shown through guidelines for the production and implementation of different programmes in the area of school education and spending free time (sports activities)
