A Precorrection Intervention to Teach Behavioral Expectations to Young Children
Wahman, Charis L.; Anderson, Eric J.
Psychology in the Schools, v58 n7 p1189-1208 Jul 2021
This study examined the effectiveness of a precorrection intervention on teacher and student behavior. Children and teachers were recruited from an early childhood center in a Midwestern city to participate in this study focused on explicitly teaching behavioral expectations. Using a multiple probe design across three children, the impact of scripted stories, roleplays, and social praise was examined. Teachers were trained on how to implement the intervention through a simple technical assistance meeting, including on-going performance feedback. Although teachers did not implement all intervention components with high fidelity, a modest change in behavior was observed for all child participants which indicates an established functional relation between the intervention package and child adherence to behavioral expectations.
