Assessment and Measurement of Behaviour 2
Delve further into the assessment of behaviour by taking an in-depth look at the measurable dimensions of behaviour and the data collection techniques associated with these.
Learning how to collect data to measure students’ behaviour at baseline, as well as during intervention is a key aspect of this module. Specially designed video footage and data sheets demonstrate how to gain an understanding of student progress and the overall impact of intervention strategies. Graphing and visual inspection techniques are taught to collate and analyse the data in order to make data-driven decisions.
Included in the registration is access to frequency recording forms, duration recording forms, latency recording forms, momentary time sampling and graphing tools.
While there are no strict prerequisite requirements for the modules in this course, we recommend following the suggested study pathways:
Positive teaching, a model of positive reinforcement based on the principles of applied behaviour analysis, utilises high rates of teacher praise and dramatically decreases teacher reprimands. By focusing on appropriate behaviour and ignoring inappropriate behaviour, maximum learning takes place. Classrooms that employ the principles of Positive Teaching have much higher rates of on-task behaviour.
These modules would benefit classroom teachers, school counsellors, psychologists and education professionals and leaders.
Yes, all Positive Teaching and Learning modules are self-paced eLearning modules. You can study at your own pace and start whenever is convenient.
The Positive Teaching for Effective Classroom Management module is Teacher Quality Institute ACT accredited (10 hrs).
There are no prerequisites for Positive Teaching and Learning modules. However, we do suggest following the recommended course structure, and note that the Foundations of Behaviour and Function-based Thinking is an excellent foundation for both the Teaching for Positive Behaviour Change, and Assessment and Measurement of Behaviour pathways.
