The Reduction of Calling-Out Behaviour in a Grade One Class through the Implementation of Behaviour Management Procedures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2016
Abstract
A program aimed at improving the quality and quantity of oral exchanges between teacher and pupils during oral language sessions was examined. The particular program devised and implemented focused on reducing pupil call-outs by means of a group contingency procedure where time spent on listening to a story being read was contingent on keeping below a particular call-out rate. The study involves the use of Grade Seven pupils as data gatherers and suggests that beneficial social ‘spin-offs’ resulted between the Grade Seven and Grade One pupils. The reduction in the rate of call-outs during both treatment phases was statistically significant. Reinforcement (i.e., story reading), either partial or maximum, was obtained 80% of the time.
