Book Description
"Self-monitoring is an intervention technique that allows students with and without disabilities to take responsibility for observing and recording one's own behavior. Self-monitoring involves two processes: self-observation and self-recording. Self-observation requires a student to pay attention to a specific aspect of behavior and determine if the behavior being monitored occurred. Then the students record whether the behavior being monitored occurred (Amato-Zech, Hoff, & Doepke, 2006)"--Leaf 1. "My research questions are: 1. How does the use of student-teacher accuracy checks with reinforcement when using self-monitoring behavior ratings affect student accuracy with self-monitoring and on-task behavior for a third grade student that displays off-task behavior? 2. What are student perceptions of their behavior and the use of self-monitoring before and after the intervention?"--Leaf 22. "The results of this research project encourage me to believe and advocate that self-monitoring with accuracy checks and reinforcement is a useful strategy for improving students' on-task behaviors"--Leaf 48.
