This study trained educators in conducting functional analyses. Most educators met accuracy criteria after the workshop, with one showing generalization to classroom settings.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral science
  • Educational psychology

Background:

  • Functional analysis is crucial for understanding behavior.
  • Educator training in functional analysis is essential for effective intervention.
  • Existing training methods may have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an instructional workshop for training educators to conduct functional analyses.
  • To assess the effectiveness of the training in achieving accuracy.
  • To examine the generalization of skills to a classroom setting.

Main Methods:

  • An instructional workshop was developed and delivered to educators.
  • Participants' ability to conduct functional analyses was assessed.
  • Generalization probes were conducted in a classroom environment.

Main Results:

  • Two out of three participants met the accuracy criterion after group training.
  • One participant required additional direct verbal feedback to reach accuracy.
  • One participant successfully generalized the skill to a real classroom setting.

Conclusions:

  • The instructional workshop is a viable method for training educators in functional analysis.
  • Targeted feedback may be necessary for some participants.
  • The training demonstrated potential for real-world application and generalization.
