Open educational resources (OERs) for behavior analysis exist but are often not created by behavior analysts. More OER development is needed to support diverse student recruitment and retention in behavior analysis programs.

Area of Science:

  • Behavior Analysis
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Open Educational Resources (OERs) offer free, adaptable materials to enhance student access and performance.
  • OERs particularly benefit underrepresented groups in higher education.
  • Existing literature suggests a need for more OERs in behavior analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and evaluate the availability of OERs related to behavior analysis.
  • To determine if sufficient OERs exist to serve as primary course materials in behavior analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an OER aggregating metafinder to search for behavior-analytic resources.
  • Assessed the content and origin of identified OERs.
  • Evaluated the sufficiency of OERs for use in behavior analysis courses.

Main Results:

  • Behavior-analytic OERs are available but predominantly created by non-behaviorists for general psychology courses.
  • Current OERs are insufficient to fully support a dedicated behavior analysis course.
  • OERs identified were not specifically tailored for behavior analysis curricula.

Conclusions:

  • While behavior-analytic OERs exist, their scope and origin limit their utility for specialized courses.
  • There is a significant need for the development and dissemination of high-quality OERs created by behavior analysts.
  • Promoting OERs can enhance diversity and retention in behavior analysis programs.
