On Task Behavior

<p>The aim of this study was to analyze the organization of on-task behavior in the classroom. Four observational methodology techniques—T-pattern detection, lag sequential analysis, trend analysis, and polar coordinate analysis—were used to study the organization of on-task and off-task behavioral patterns during class time in a primary school setting. The specific objective was to detect and explore relationships between on-task behavior and different social interaction categories in relation to the actual distribution of activities in a real-life classroom setting. The study was conducted using the behavioral observation system for social interaction SOC-IS and the software programs Theme (version 6, Edu), SDIS-GSEQ (version 4.1.2), HOISAN (version 1.6), and STATGRAPHICS (version 6). We describe the results obtained for the four techniques and discuss the methodological implications of combining complementary techniques in a single study.</p>

Recent literature indicates that an increasing number of individuals with mental retardation problems are involved in various processes for community reintegration as defined by movement to less restrictive (more normal) programming environments. To facilitate this process, a three phase behavior assessment and prescription system is proposed. This system is designed to monitor the specific functioning levels of persons with mental retardation problems. At the screening (pre-selection) level, a skill assessment instrument has been formatively validated which provides basic data from obtaining specific levels of skill functioning in several behavioral categories. This data means individual persons can be identified as to their profiting from available institution/ community celeration programs and provides information for new programs needed to further reintegration efforts. At the programming (pre-selection) level, a detailed skill assessment instrument has been developed. This more intense behavioral observation assessment is used to determine individual entry levels into specific celeration programs and to monitor skill acquisition as a function of the teaching. At the community entry (pre-release) level, a skill assessment instrument is conceptualized which will identify those skills that translate into necessary prerequisites for various community living alternatives. At each level reliability, validity, time efficiency, and direct relevance to least restrictive environmental programming is emphasized, with the highest level of living with human dignity as the goal.
