An important issue which has not been investigated is the comparative effectiveness of the PSI method and the lecture method of instruction with …
The Comparative Utility Of Structured Lessons, Group And Individually Contingent Events, And Conditioned Reinforcers In Modifying Classroom Behaviors, James D. Long
Doctoral Dissertations
A major purpose of the study was to assess the relative merits of group versus individually contingent consequences in modifying the classroom behavior of adolescents, Other major purposes were to determine whether student conduct would improve with the implementation of structured lessons and to ascertain whether improvements would occur with the awarding of points as a consequence for appropriate behavior without the use of backup reinforcers.
Eight students in an inner-city seventh grade classroom of 32 blacks served as the subjects. They were selected by the teacher as the most disruptive students who were in regular attendance. The eight subjects …
