Data-Collection

Target Behavior: Off task behaviors (Disrupting other students by talking to them,
playing with toys or staring off outside).
Baseline Data: Having Aaron self-monitor, as well as my own observations on days in
the school, he was on task 30.67% of the time.
I wanted Aaron to participate and be engaged in class without distract his classmates. I
also wanted Aaron to finish his work in a timely manner. I developed a plan for him to
monitor himself between the two classrooms. He was asked to receive 5 (+) of 10 (5
marks per classroom) possible marks per day. If he received 5 or more (+) during the
day then he was able to color in one of the boxes for a mystery motivator. His self
monitor sheets were then collected and compared against my data to see what
percentage he was on task per day.

What I discovered was that my data showed the intervention to be ineffective.

See the table below:

Nov. 1 NA

Nov. 2 60%

Nov. 15 40%
I would like to continue collecting data. My next step is to lower the goal. Aaron is not reaching
his 50% on task behavior goal. I want to lower the goal to 40%. I think if Aaron has more
success and received his motivators more often he may be better motivated to achieve his goal
and receive motivators (ie. notes home, work time with me, or free time).
