The Effects of a Self-Monitoring Package on Homework Completion and Accuracy of Students with Disabilities in an Inclusive General Education Classroom

Self-Monitoring by College Students With ADHD: The Impact on Academic Performance

“…Self-monitoring involves teaching an individual to observe and record his or her behavior with the goal of changing the behavior in the future (Axelrod, Zhe, Haugen, & Klein, 2009; DuPaul & Stoner, 2010). Self-monitoring has been effective in improving a number of academic behaviors in youth, including on-task behavior (Moore, Anderson, Glassenbury, Lang, & Didden, 2013; Rafferty, Arroyo, Ginnane, & Wilczynski, 2011), homework completion (Falkenberg & Barbetta, 2013; Merriman & Codding, 2008), and academic performance (Mooney, Ryan, Uhing, Reid, & Epstein, 2005; Perry, Albeg, & Tung, 2012).…”

Self-Management Strategies to Support Homework Completion With Students With Developmental Disabilities

“…There are many benefits of homework on student learning. Homework can (a) help promote academic skills and generalization of the skills across multiple settings (e.g., school and home; Falkenberg & Barbetta, 2013; Hampshire & Allred, 2018), (b) increase mastery and fluency of skills, and (c) build student responsibility, perseverance, and self-confidence (Olympia et al, 1994). Furthermore, homework can facilitate communication between parents and teachers about student progress (H.…”

“…An emerging body of research has demonstrated the effectiveness of self-management strategies on homework completion for individuals with developmental disabilities (Falkenberg & Barbetta, 2013; Hampshire et al, 2016; Hampshire & Allred, 2018). In a series of studies, Hampshire and colleagues (2016; Hampshire & Allred, 2018) developed an intervention package consisting of self-management strategies accompanied by parent training for middle school students with ASD.…”

Using Self-Monitoring of Performance With Self-Graphing to Increase Academic Productivity in Math

“…Improving students’ ability to regulate their behavior during independent work in math can increase their math proficiency and also reduce their teachers’ frustration. Self-monitoring is a strategy that can be employed by general and special education teachers to improve students’ self-regulation in the classroom and increase students’ academic performance, self-efficacy, and self-motivation (Falkenberg & Barbetta, 2013; McDougall, Morrison, & Awana, 2012; McDougall, Skouge, Farrell, & Hoff, 2006; Rafferty, 2010). Self-monitoring, also known as self-recording or self-observation, is a procedure whereby a student observes, records, and self-evaluates a target behavior (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007; Mayer, Sulzer-Azaroff, & Wallace, 2014).…”
