Naturalistic Observations of Classrooms Serving Severely Handicapped Persons: Establishing Evaluative Norms.

Green, Carolyn W.; And Others

Applied Research in Mental Retardation, v7 n1 p37-50 1986

Results of a naturalistic, observational analysis of 43 self-contained classrooms serving severely handicapped students indicated that during designated instructional periods, slightly less than half of all student time was spent on-task. When students were on-task, almost two-thirds of their time involved nonfunctional instructional tasks. (Author/CL)
