Whether teaching in academia, training employees within corporations, working with young learners, or serving disabled learners, behavior analysts primarily find themselves in an instructional position relaying information from themselves to others. They often design how this information is transmitted to the learner so that the person can operate upon the world proficiently with the new concept or operation. As a result, behavior-analytic instructional design has spent much time piecing together optimal ways of making instruction effective. Nevertheless, these instructional design practices are not widely disseminated or adapted to everyday clinical practice. Therefore, the current article proposes a comprehensive framework where a learner contacts different hierarchical instructional levels while establishing proficiency on each level before progressing toward the ultimate goal of the concept or operation. These levels include Discriminate, Generate, Operate, and Demonstrate. By progressing through this framework, the learner will apply and generalize the instructional concept or operation regardless of context and nuance.</p>","PeriodicalId":51493,"journal":{"name":"Education and Treatment of Children","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138742835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Learning how to spell can be challenging, especially for students with high-incidence disabilities. Fortunately, tools such as graphic organizers may assist students with spelling. In this study, we evaluated the effects of a novel flowchart tool on spelling outcomes for two students with disabilities in a behavior-focused alternative school. We used a multiple probe across spelling concepts to measure the intervention’s effects on spelling as well as accuracy of flowchart usage. Following training, students used the flowchart with fidelity, and their spelling accuracy improved. Both students sustained increases over an extended maintenance phase.

Results indicated that both methods of fading were effective for increasing the participants’ level of correct, independent performance. However, all four participants scored higher on their posttests for the skill taught through the video modeling condition.

Yet use of graphing conventions by the wider population of behavior analysts is largely unexplored. The current study examined relations among types of graphing conventions (established versus unestablished functions), demographic variables (e.g., education level, primary job setting), and likelihood of revision ratings reported by 631 board certified behavior analysts (BCBAs, BCaBAs, and BCBA-Ds). Statistically significant differences in ratings were detected across types of conventions and demographic categories. Master’s level BCBAs in clinical roles were more likely to revise conventions that affect visual analysis than conventions whose functions are unknown, whereas there were no differences between types of conventions for doctoral level BCBAs in academic roles.

Interventions have been developed to increase employment for juvenile-justice-involved youth, yet few studies have examined employer perspectives about hiring them. The purpose of this replication study was to document employer perceptions of hiring youth in the juvenile justice system; whether youth should disclose prior involvement in the system; and the skills and qualifications that employers value in their workers. Findings indicate that, relative to the results of prior studies, employers’ perceptions appear to have improved such that they are more likely to hire youth who have been involved with the juvenile justice system. This research provides insights into how educators, behavior analysts, and other rehabilitation and support personnel can help these youth obtain employment, and suggests future research directions to further reduce hiring stigma.","PeriodicalId":51493,"journal":{"name":"Education and Treatment of Children","volume":"28 15","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135392056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
