Behavior Analysis Procedures in Classroom Teaching

  • Chapter
International Handbook of Behavior Modification and Therapy

Abstract

Behavioral research conducted in classroom settings has analyzed behaviors contributing to the maintenance of order in the classrooms as well as behaviors involved in the actual learning of academic concepts. The procedures used to change these behaviors include those involving the manipulation of consequent stimuli and those involving the manipulation of antecedent stimuli.These delineations of procedures and behaviors provide essentially four general categories into which classroom behavioral research can be meaningfully divided: (1) research analyzing the effects of contingent relationships on the behaviors involved in maintaining order in the classroom; (2) research analyzing the effects of discriminative stimuli on behavior involved in maintaining order in the classroom; (3) research analyzing the effects of contingent relationships on the amount and correctness of work produced by the children in the classroom; and (4) research analyzing the effects of manipulating teachers’ instructions and discriminative stimulus materials on children’s learning academic concepts and skills.

Preparation of this manuscript and portions of the research described were supported by one or more of the following sources: The National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (HD 07066, HD 002528, 1-T32-HD-07173 and 1-T01-HD-00247) and the United States Department of Education, Bureau for the Education of the Handicapped (USOE 300-77-0308).
