The constituent parts of a five component behavioural intervention package are described and the effect of the intervention on the on-task behaviour of two "disruptive" secondary school classes reported. It is claimed that levels of pupil on-task behaviour were significantly increased in both classes. Concomitant changes in teacher behaviour were also reported and it is suggested that increased levels of pupil on-task behaviour may have elicited higher levels of positive verbal behaviour from the teachers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
