his assignment assesses your progress in mastering the following course competencies:
Analyze theories of behavior analysis and their influence on teaching and educational programs.
Evaluate theoretical principles and research that inform instructional strategies.
Communicate in a professional manner consistent with the field of behavior analysis.
Goal: This assignment measures your skill in analyzing and evaluating research on instructional strategies in the context of theories and principles of behavior analysis. In addition, it will measure your progress in using charts and data to communicate research data and results.
Instructions
Find at least three peer-reviewed articles containing research on SAFMEDS written within the last ten years. These should be studies with single-subject research designs written in behavioral journals. If you want to use a study that does not meet these criteria, please discuss this with your instructor.
Synthesize the research in three to four pages, in which you address the following:
Analyze the behavioral principles at work in the SAFMEDS process, specifically discussing them in the context of precision teaching.
Analyze the procedures, describing how the procedures in each study are similar to and different from one another.
Analyze the results of each study and describe how the results are similar to and different from one another.
Analyze the strengths and limitations of each study and discuss how these are similar to and different from one another.
Evaluate future directions, identifying areas requiring additional research.
Evaluate your own process in relation to the research, indicating how you will use the information gleaned from these studies to guide you through the SAFMEDS process.
Additional Requirements
Your assignment should also meet the following requirements:
Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA format: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting guidelines. Refer to the Evidence and APALinks to an external site. section of the Writing Center for guidance.
References: Three single-subject research studies written within the last ten years.
Length of paper: 3–4 typed, double-spaced pages of content, in addition to a title page and references page.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.
Submit the final version of your paper and your current celeration chart for grading.
