Summary
Computer-based instruction effectively trains staff in discrete trial instruction, proving efficient and socially valid. This method ensures high treatment integrity for behavioral technologies.
Area of Science:
- Behavioral science
- Educational technology
- Applied behavior analysis
Background:
- Evidence-based procedures are crucial for staff training in behavioral technologies.
- Computer-based instruction (CBI) has shown promise in enhancing treatment integrity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess a CBI module for training staff in discrete trial instruction (DTI).
- To address gaps identified in previous research (Romer et al., 2021).
Main Methods:
- Utilized a computer-based instruction module.
- Assessed staff training in discrete trial instruction implementation.
Main Results:
- Computer-based instruction was found to be effective.
- The CBI module demonstrated efficiency in training.
- The procedure was deemed socially valid for staff training.
Conclusions:
- Computer-based instruction is a viable method for training staff in DTI.
- This approach supports high treatment integrity in behavioral interventions.
