Abstract

Employment offers many important benefits yet the majority of adults with disabilities are not represented in the workforce suggesting more research is needed on evidence-based vocational training for adults with disabilities (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2024). The evidence base for improving current vocational training practices can be expanded through more research on fluency-based instruction and precision teaching. Precision teaching has been demonstrated to improve skill repertoires in a number of academic settings but its application for vocational skill acquisition is still emerging. The present study evaluated precision teaching as a tool to teach employment skills and extended Cohen (2005). Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of precision teaching with frequency building on the acquisition of job skills for adults with disabilities and examine the effects of training component skills using frequency building at a simulated training site on composite skill performance at the job site requiring the vocational skill. The results suggest frequency building was successful at improving vocational component repertoires. Evaluations of fluency outcomes after aims were met found degradations in participants' component performances. Finally, maximizing the effects component skill fluency has on related composite repertoires may require composite skills to be explicitly trained.

通过频率构建的职业技能流畅性。

就业提供了许多重要的好处，但大多数成年残疾人在劳动力中没有代表，这表明需要对成年残疾人的循证职业培训进行更多的研究（美国劳工统计局，2024年）。通过对流利型教学和精准型教学的深入研究，可以拓展改进当前职业培训实践的证据基础。精确教学已被证明可以在许多学术环境中提高技能库，但其在职业技能习得中的应用仍在兴起。本研究评估了精准教学作为传授就业技能的工具，并扩展了Cohen（2005）。因此，本研究的目的是要确定频率建构的精准教学对成人残障人士工作技能习得的影响，并检视在模拟训练场所使用频率建构的训练成分技能对需要职业技能的工作场所复合技能表现的影响。结果表明，频率构建在提高职业成分库方面是成功的。在达到目标后对流畅性结果的评估发现，参与者的组成部分表现有所下降。最后，最大化组合技能流畅性对相关组合技能的影响可能需要对组合技能进行明确的训练。

期刊介绍： Behavior Analysis in Practice, an official journal of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, is a peer-reviewed translational publication designed to provide science-based, best-practice information relevant to service delivery in behavior analysis. The target audience includes front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. The mission of Behavior Analysis in Practice is to promote empirically validated best practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works, but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. Types of articles and topics published include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis.
