Video Program

The primary purpose of the present article was to evaluate the effects of a supplemental online video program on student quiz performance for an online course in applied behavior analysis. Nineteen graduate students, in ages ranging from 22 to 40, agreed to participate in this study. A within-subject group design was used. The control condition contained textbook readings and accompanied self-guided notes, while an online video training program was added to supplement the experimental condition. Results indicated that the students scored significantly higher in their weekly quizzes under the condition supplemented with the online video training program. The students perceived the video training program as equally helpful as the textbook, but they enjoyed the online videos significantly more than the textbook. Students' self-reported enjoyment of the online videos was also positively correlated to their quiz performance under the condition supplemented with the videos.

Knowledge Competencies

Staff training is a critical performance improvement objective within behavioral health care organizations. This study evaluated a systematic training program for teaching applied behavior analysis knowledge competencies to newly hired direct-care employees at a day and residential habilitation services agency for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Three content areas—measurement, behavior support, and skill acquisition—were trained in a group format using Powerpoint® presentations that featured didactic instruction, practice exercises, and video demonstrations. The employees completed an assessment of knowledge test before and after training in each content area. Across five training groups, the average correct posttraining test scores were consistently higher than pretraining test scores. A social validity assessment revealed that the employees judged the training program favorably along several dimensions. Issues pertaining to staff training and performance improvement initiatives are discussed.
