Two effective behavioral approaches to
measure education
Direct instruction
University of Kansas behavior analysis
program
Available time
Total number of school days and hours
Allocated time
Amount of time scheduled for instruction
Instructional time
Number of minutes instruction is delivered
Engaged (on task) time
Time spent attending to ongoing instruction
Academic learning time
The time that students actually spend
learning
Behaviorally- stated instructional objectives
A statement of actions a student should
perform after completing one or more
instructional components
Reasons for writing behaviorally- stated
instructional objectives
Guide the instructional content and tasks
Communicate to students on what they will
be evaluated
Specify the standards for evaluating ongoing
and terminal performance
Mastery
Level of performance that meets accuracy
and fluency criteria
Accuracy
Correctness of the response
Fluency
Short latency
High rate of correct response
Durable
Maintains across time even after instruction
ends
Smooth
Free of pause and false starts
Useful
Can apply to the real world
Contextually meaningful
Socially valid
Resistant to distractions
Performance consistent even when there are
environmental distractions
Criterion- based evaluations
The results of other students has no effect
on one’s score
Normed- referenced evaluation
Student scores are based on and compared
with peers’ performance
Generative learning/ adduction
A general pattern of responding that
produces effective responding to many
untrained relations
Generative instructions
Teaching procedures which lead to
adduction
Stimulus equivalence
Describes the emergence of accurate
responding to untrained and non-reinforced
stimulus- stimulus relations following the
reinforcement of responses to some
stimulus- stimulus relations
Three types of stimulus equivalence
Reflexivity
Symmetry
Transitivity
Reflexivity
In the absence of training and reinforcement,
a learner selects a stimulus that is matched
to itself
(A = A)
Symmetry
After learning that A = B, the learner
demonstrates that B = A without direct
training on that relationship
