In this research work, an action procedure was developed that interferes with improving the cognitive and behavioral state in the classroom through all subjects in the face of disruptive behaviors. Although our research is based on the different intervention models developed in various behavioral and constructivist learning theories and their…

This study used an intrinsic case study to investigate how interventions from applied behavior analysis impacted language development, academic progress, and the reduction of severe challenging behaviors for an 8-year-old child who is Deaf and autistic. 3 main themes were identified: language acquisition, behavioral change strategies, and academic…

Student success and campus safety are two key issues in higher education. Efforts to maximize both issues are the focus of campus administration. Behavioral Intervention Teams (BITs) are implemented as a dual mechanism to improve student success and campus safety. BITs increasingly are becoming best practice and an essential component in…

Approximately 20% of students repeatedly display challenging classroom behaviors (e.g., off-task, disruptive behavior). Students exhibiting challenging classroom behaviors have difficulties achieving academic success and may indirectly harm the learning of classroom peers. Self-management interventions targeted a range of classroom behaviors…

Schools utilize a range of consequences to maintain order and safety. Some employ zero-tolerance policies accompanied by exclusionary tactics like suspension (Martinez, 2009; Muschert et al., 2014). Suspensions are criticized for their disproportionate assignment to students who are Black, male, assigned an IEP, and receiving lunch assistance…

For this study, an alternating treatment single-case research design was used to evaluate and compare the impacts of student-led and teacher-led Tootling on individual student's disruptive behaviors and academic engagement. Student-led Tootling, teacher-led Tootling, and baseline conditions were alternated daily following a systematically blocked,…

High school students often encounter a range of challenges related to adolescence, future career uncertainty, family expectations, and societal pressures to succeed and excel. Addressing these issues requires targeted psychological support, particularly in enhancing academic self-efficacy (SE) and reducing pessimistic tendencies -- two constructs…

The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a team-based classroom management intervention developed to mitigate disruptive behaviors and promote prosocial behaviors of school-aged children. While the short-term benefits of the GBG are well documented in meta-analyses and systematic reviews, it is less clear for what long-term outcomes the GBG may reduce…

The Ohio Internship Program in School Psychology was forced to adapt abruptly to the changing circumstances brought on by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic beginning in March 2020.

Novel and unpredictable learning environments are a feature of school-to-college transitions that erode students' academic control, emotional resilience, and achievement (Perry, Hall, & Ruthig, 2005). Although motivation interventions can benefit college students (Koenka, 2020), few studies have examined treatment efficacy for students of…

Few randomized controlled trials have evaluated social media study groups as educational aids in the context of online and blended teaching programs. We present the Behavioral Education in Social Media (BE-Social) intervention package, which integrates key evidence-informed behavioral intervention strategies delivered through a closed social media…

The problem under study was that even with training, teachers have difficulty implementing behavior management programs. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore middle school teachers' perceptions of the challenges they encounter in implementing behavior management programs to encourage positive student behavior. The theory of…
