Four students attending a Resource Center during the class of United States' History II participated in the study. A single subject design with ABAB phases was used. During the baseline, students were observed for 20 minutes in class, and their behaviors were recorded with a checklist. During the intervention, each student was taught to identify one to two on-task behaviors as a goal and to use an iPad with Choiceworks App for self-monitoring for 8 days. The iPad was removed, then resumed for a period of 8 days respectively. Results showed that all students using the iPad for self-monitoring increased their on-task behaviors. Future research involving longer time of using an iPad should be considered in order to validate the findings. | Keywords/Search Tags: | Ipad, Behaviors, Using, Students, Self-monitoring | | Related items |
