Effects Of Student Self-Management On Generalization Of Student Performance To Regular Classes, Lloyd Douglas Peterson
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The use of a student self-monitoring and self-rating/teacher matching strategy to assist generalization of social skills use and decrease off-task behavior of five inner-city at-risk middle school students was investigated. A multiple-baseline design was used to assess the effects of the intervention in up to six different class settings. Results indicated that the self-monitoring and self-rating/teacher matching intervention led to an increase in correct social skills use and a decrease in off-task behaviors with all five students. These data add to the existing literature, suggesting self-monitoring with self-rating/teacher matching is an effective procedure to promote generalization of behavior. Implications for …

Using A Classwide Peer-Assisted Self-Management Program To Improve Classroom Behavior Of Secondary-Age At-Risk Students, Katherine J. Mitchem
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Classroom management is still one of the top-rated concerns of general educators and public school administrators, even though there exist a number of empirically supported interventions that improve classroom behavior. The current research, consisting of two studies, examined the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of one of these interventions, a classwide peer-assisted, self-management program. Using a multiple baseline design across classes, the first study investigated the effects of the Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) Game on appropriate classroom behavior of three classes of seventh-grade language arts students and of 10 target at-risk students. The PAL Game consisted of teacher instruction in self-management and …

Determinants Of Student Satisfaction And Success In Economic Principles, L. Dwight Israelsen, Karl E. Israelsen
Economic Research Institute Study Papers
As teachers of economic principles, we often rely on casual empiricism to identify characteristics of students or of the classroom environment that we believe affect student performance. When we do so, we run the risk of stereotyping students in various groups as being more or less likely to do well in our principles of economics classes. In this paper, we report the results of a study designed to determine the factors affecting success of students in large economic principles classes, and the factors affecting satisfaction of students with the teacher and with the course. The results of the study indicate …
