Describes a model for behavioral change which synthesizes behavioral awareness with empirically identified target behaviors. Stages of the model are presented and cautions for implementation are given. Suggests the model can help students gain an understanding of the consequences of behavioral problems. (BL)

Describes a model for effective classroom management consisting of two major parts: teacher behaviors related to rule establishment and teacher behaviors related to rule enforcement. Eight categories of teacher behavior related to rule enforcement are briefly discussed. (BR)

In two experiments, the effects of prior reinforcement for compliance and noncompliance with adults' instructions were assessed with respect to the incidence of nonreinforced imitation of that adult in a subsequent modeling situation. Subjects were 15 boys and 15 girls of kindergarten age. (MS)

Reading comprehension, indicated by motor behavior and multiple-choice picture selection called for in written instructions, was taught to an autistic child (12 years old). (Author/PT)

A study involving five elementary-age children with moderate disabilities and five typical peers evaluated the use of a structural analysis model as a vehicle for improving social interactions via peer-mediated interventions. Results indicate structural analysis was usable as a prescriptive tool to develop effective peer-mediated interventions.…

Psychological modeling, the phenomenon referring to the tendency of individuals to imitate higher status persons, peer group members, and other relevant models, has been used as a device for modification of existing behavior and acquisition of previously unlearned behavior. In this study, 48 preservice teachers were randomly assigned to two…

This study attempted to determine whether (a) modeling, (b) modeling with behavioral consultation with teachers, (c) a control, and (d) a placebo have differential effects on on-task behavior, attitudes toward school and grade point averages of off-task fifth and sixth grade pupils. Support was provided for the continued use of modeling and…

Behavior changes which improve school performance can be facilitated by cooperative efforts of elementary counselors and parents. Through modeling procedures and brief instruction in the principles of behavior modification, parents can be trained to systematically reinforce behavior which facilitates learning. (Author)

Presents framework for collaborative problem solving between elementary school counselors and teachers. Describes factors that effect the use of the framework and the impact of the behavioral conceptual framework on teacher behavior. Strategies for counselor to collaborate with teachers in developing, implementing, and evaluating interventions is…

This experiment explored the mediating functions of attributional and self-efficacy variables on achievement outcomes for skill training treatments offered in conjunction with attributional feedback. Children who were identified as learned helpless and deficient in division skills received training on division operations either through modeling…

Studied the extent of use and usefulness of "Turn Your School Round," a behavior management package aimed at promoting discipline, learning respect, and responsibility for one's actions.
