Viena iš pagrindinių šiuolaikinių ugdymo problemų yra delinkventinis paauglių elgesys. Viena mokykla ir vieni tėvai negali iš esmės spręsti šios problemos, todėl labai svarbus yra šeimos ir mokyklos bendradarbiavimas, mokyklos pagalba šeimai. Tyrimo metu buvo anali-zuojamos paauglių delinkventinio elgesio apraiškos, jų priežastys bei glaudus šeimos ir mokyklos bendradarbiavimas vykdant tokio elgesio prevenciją, aptariamos labiausiai priimtinos prevencijos vykdymo formos ir būdai.

The object of the research is strengthening delinquent 9th–10th-formers’ learning motivation in technology classes. The hypothesis is that technology classes strengthen delinquent 9th–10th-formers’ motivation to learn. The major aim of the research is to reveal peculiarities of strengthening delinquent 9th–10th-formers’ learning motivation in technology classes. The research objectives are as follows: to explore delinquent 9th–10th-formers’ characteristics; to analyze the peculiarities of delinquent teenagers’ learning / teaching in technology classes. The sample of the empirical research was 120 of 9th–10th-formers with behavioural and learning difficulties from schools of Vilnius and Kaunas cities and districts. 53 teachers of technologies also took part in the survey. Empirical research data analysis shows that more than half of the teachers-respondents think that delinquent learners are distinguished for using forbidden physical force (52 %), smoking (51 %) and cursing (47 %). Such characteristics as being late for school (25 %), refusal to learn (23 %), and impolite behaviour with teachers (21 %) are more rarely attributed to delinquent behaviour by the teachers.
