Jesús Jaramillo – Ethnography and Education, 2024
In this article, I analyse the street learning that a group of boys in a poor neighbourhood in Argentina produce when they play at being 'pibes chorros'. Through the observation of interviews, photos and audio recordings made in the neighbourhood since 2010, I show how these games are occasions for boys to learn to pretend they know how to steal…

Professional Development (PD) can be a powerful lever for improving the quality of teacher-child interactions in early childhood education and care (ECEC) and teachers' feelings of support and competence. However, there is a dearth of studies examining different formats of PD and their links with workplace features. The present study aims to…

Dryburgh, Jamieson – International Journal of Education & the Arts, 2020
Peers influence each other and learning can be shaped by shared processes. The purpose of this article is to pedagogically explore collective effort in the dance technique studio in a conservatoire setting. This practice-based research flows from the studio and has relevance for all higher arts education contexts. It is developed from the…

Ledford, Jennifer R.; Wolery, Mark – Exceptional Children, 2015
Many studies have shown that small-group direct instruction is effective and efficient for teaching students with and without disabilities, although relatively few studies have been conducted with heterogeneous groups of preschool participants. In addition, previous studies have primarily assessed whether observational learning occurred for…

Gold, Lisa Danielle – ProQuest LLC, 2013
The purpose of this study was to test the effects of a peer-yoked contingency on the induction of observational performance, observational acquisition, and the Naming capability. In Experiment I, three male kindergarten and first grade students diagnosed with disabilities were selected as target participants because they had the listener component…

Taylor, Bridget A.; DeQuinzio, Jaime A. – Behavior Modification, 2012
A skill essential for successful inclusion in general education settings is the ability to learn by observing others. Research, however, has documented children with autism display significant deficits in the fundamental skills necessary for observational learning. This article outlines the skills essential for observational learning from an…

Brody, Gene H.; Stoneman, Zolinda – Child Development, 1981
Results suggest that the age composition of peer groups influences the performance of peer-modeled information, thus providing an indication that imitation of peers is a selective process influenced by the relative age of the model to the observer. Data also suggest that observational learning is a complex process involving considerable…

Hanna, Elizabeth; Meltzoff, Andrew N. – Developmental Psychology, 1993
Three experiments examined peer imitation with 14- to 18-month-old infants in laboratory, home, and day-care settings. After a delay, infants imitated actions performed by trained peers. Found that infants' recall of peers' actions was lower for infants imitating actions at home after a two-day delay than for infants imitating actions in the…

Rothstein, Mindy Bunya; Gautreaux, Grant Gerard – Journal of Early and Intensive Behavior Intervention, 2007
We tested the effects of a Peer-Yoked Contingency on students' acquisition of observational learning repertoires and collateral effects on naming. Three male middle school participants, diagnosed with emotional and behavioral disabilities, were selected for this study. The three participants did not have naming repertoires, and two of the three…

Egel, Andrew L.; And Others – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1981
The investigation systematically assessed whether four autistic children (5 to 7 years old) would improve their learning of discrimination tasks if they observed normal children perform the task correctly. In each case, the peer modeling procedure produced rapid achievement of the acquisition criterion which was maintained after the peer models…

Peck, Charles A.; And Others – Journal of Special Education, 1978
Two peer-imitation training procedures, each consisting of adult-delivered prompts and social reinforcement, were employed in two separate experiments to increase five retarded preschool children's imitation of their four nonretarded classmates' free-play behavior. (Author/DLS)

Venn, Martha L.; And Others – Early Childhood Research Quarterly, 1993
Evaluates the effectiveness of the progressive time delay procedure in art activities involving disabled and nondisabled preschoolers, whereby teachers progressively delay corrective assistance to disabled pupils attempting to imitate their peers. Found that using the progressive time delay procedure produced high levels of imitation in a nearly…

Hallenbeck, Betty A.; Kauffman, James M. – Journal of Special Education, 1995
This paper reviews research on observational learning, including model characteristics and observers' responses, vicarious reinforcement as implicit punishment, vicarious effects on students with problem behavior, observers' other characteristics and vicarious effects, and aggression and vicarious processes. Regular class placement of students…

Shute, Robert E.; And Others – Journal of School Health, 1981
A study was done to determine and describe the level of preschoolers' and first-graders' awareness, attitudes, and practices regarding cigarettes, pipes, and cigars. Data strongly reflected the fact that parents and older siblings are very influential in the eventual choices of young children to smoke or not to smoke. (JN)
