Abstract

In this study we tested the usability, feasibility, social validity, and effectiveness of Engaged Learners, a behavior support program designed to be integrated into small group reading interventions. Participants included eight Grade 3 to 5 students with co-occurring reading difficulties and inattention. A concurrent multiple-baseline design was utilized to test the effects of Engaged Learners on engagement outcomes. Visual analysis and effect sizes indicated an improvement in engagement for seven students. Interventionists and students viewed the Engaged Learners program to be effective and socially valid. Limitations included lower than expected levels of fidelity for one interventionist and high student absenteeism. More research is needed to identify the extent to which Engaged Learners can support reading outcomes. Educators seeking an effective behavior support program that requires minimal training and coaching may consider integrating Engaged Learners into their small group reading instruction.

参与式学习计划：对学生参与小组阅读教学的影响。

在这项研究中，我们测试了 "参与学习者 "的可用性、可行性、社会有效性和有效性。"参与学习者 "是一项行为支持计划，旨在与小组阅读干预相结合。参与者包括八名同时存在阅读困难和注意力不集中的三至五年级学生。我们采用了并行多基线设计来测试 "参与学习者 "对参与结果的影响。直观分析和效应大小表明，7 名学生的参与度有所提高。干预人员和学生都认为 "参与学习者 "计划是有效的，并具有社会有效性。不足之处包括一名干预者的忠实度低于预期水平，以及学生缺勤率较高。需要进行更多的研究，以确定 "参与学习者 "计划能在多大程度上支持阅读成果。教育工作者在寻求一种只需少量培训和指导的有效行为支持计划时，可以考虑将 "参与学习者 "融入小组阅读教学中。

期刊介绍： For two decades, researchers and practitioners have turned to Behavior Modification for current scholarship on applied behavior modification. Starting in 1995, in addition to keeping you informed on assessment and modification techniques relevant to psychiatric, clinical, education, and rehabilitation settings, Behavior Modification revised and expanded its focus to include treatment manuals and program descriptions. With these features you can follow the process of clinical research and see how it can be applied to your own work. And, with Behavior Modification, successful clinical and administrative experts have an outlet for sharing their solutions in the field.
