    Reinforcing academic skills, not just good behavior, effectively reduced classroom disruptions. This token reinforcement strategy significantly improved student reading performance and decreased problem behaviors.

    Area of Science:

    • Educational Psychology
    • Classroom Management
    • Behavioral Interventions

    Background:

    • Traditional behavior modification focuses on reinforcing non-disruptive conduct.
    • An alternative approach is to reinforce academic skills to address discipline issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of reinforcing academic skills for eliminating classroom discipline problems.
    • To compare this approach with traditional behavior modification methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Five fifth-grade boys identified as discipline problems were observed.
    • Academic performance and disruptive behavior were recorded during 15-minute reading sessions.
    • A token reinforcement system was applied specifically to academic performance.

    Main Results:

    • Disruptive behavior decreased significantly when academic skills were reinforced.
    • Reading performance improved substantially with the token reinforcement strategy.
    • Withdrawal of reinforcement led to increased disruption and decreased performance, which reversed upon reinstatement.

    Conclusions:

    • Reinforcing academic skills is an effective strategy for reducing classroom disruptions.
    • This method offers a viable alternative to traditional behavior modification techniques.
    • Targeted reinforcement of academic performance positively impacts both behavior and learning outcomes.
