M R Weinrott

    Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology
    |September 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Tracking child behavior did not significantly impact teacher intervention strategies or child behavior outcomes in this study. Enhanced observation and data collection showed minimal effects on elementary school teachers and students.

    Area of Science:

    • Child Psychology
    • Educational Psychology
    • Behavioral Intervention

    Background:

    • Behavior modification practicums aim to equip teachers with intervention strategies.
    • Effective monitoring of child behavior is crucial for successful behavioral interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of observation training and behavior tracking on elementary school teachers.
    • To determine if enhanced monitoring influences child behavior and teacher perception.

    Main Methods:

    • 20 elementary school teachers were divided into experimental and control groups.
    • Teachers received identical intervention strategies; the experimental group had increased observation and recording requirements.
    • Child behavior, teacher behavior, teacher ratings, and perception-behavior correspondence were measured.

    Main Results:

    • Tracking child behavior had little to no effect on observed child behavior.
    • No significant impact was found on observed teacher behavior or teacher ratings.
    • The correspondence between teacher perception and child behavior remained largely unchanged.

    Conclusions:

    • Intensified observation and tracking of child behavior may not be an effective standalone strategy for improving behavioral interventions.
    • Further research is needed to explore factors that enhance the effectiveness of teacher training in behavior modification.
