Students’ Online Interaction Styles: Can They Change?, Dazhi Yang, Jennifer C. Richardson Nov 2008

Students’ Online Interaction Styles: Can They Change?, Dazhi Yang, Jennifer C. Richardson

Dazhi Yang

Past studies indicate that students demonstrate different online interaction styles, which consist of the ways or habits students acquire knowledge from computer-mediated discussions (Sutton, 2001). Such interaction styles include the active interaction style (Beaudion, 2002), the vicarious interaction style (Sutton, 2001), and the mixed or balanced-interaction style. The purpose of this exploratory study was to further investigate whether students’ online interaction styles changed during a course utilizing asynchronous computer-mediated discussions; and if so how and why they changed.

However, online instructors and learners operate within a complex environment in which many aspects can have a direct impact on the instructor’s ability to facilitate learner-learner interactions.

Adding Functional Behavioral Assessment To First Step To Success: A Case Study, Deborah R. Carter, Robert H. Horner

Deborah Russell Carter

First Step to Success is a manualized early intervention program with documented success in reducing the problem behavior of young children. Walker and colleagues are now engaged in analyses of variables that will increase the proportion of children for whom First Step is effective. A possible enhancement to the First Step to Success protocol is the use of functional behavioral assessment, and individualized, function-based behavior support. The present analysis provides a case study with one, six-year old student who received First Step to Success. Following the “coaching phase” of First Step a reversal design was employed in which function-based features …
