Resumo
AbstractWe implemented a delayed multiple probe across participants design to analyze the effects of behavioral skills training (BST) on teaching assistants' effective delivery of instruction as measured through their performance on the Teacher Performance Rate and Accuracy (TPRA) scale. Effective instruction is defined as instruction that is both accurate and fluent. Three adult teaching assistants, newly hired at a kindergarten readiness program that employed the principles of applied behavior analysis, were selected to participate. The participants had no previous experience implementing three‐term contingency trials. Dependent variables included two components of the TPRA scale measured pre‐ and post‐intervention: (1) percent of correctly delivered trials and (2) rate of trial delivery. The results indicated that BST increased the accurate delivery of correct three‐term contingency trials by teaching assistants as measured through TPRA scale observations. The intervention also successfully increased the teaching assistants' rate of trials delivered per minute.
