Abstract

Designing effective and preferred teaching practices for undergraduate students are common goals in behavior analytic training programs. A preliminary study by Nava et al. (2019) showed that undergraduate students generally rated peer-generated examples of the principles of behavior analysis as more preferred, relatable, and culturally responsive than traditional textbook examples. However, peer-generated examples did not result in any improvement in performance on concept knowledge assessments. The current study extended the study by Nava et al. by embedding peer-generated examples within interactive computer training (ICT) to provide opportunities for active responding, prompt fading, automated feedback, and practice with examples and nonexamples. Results showed that ICT did not produce reliable improvements in knowledge assessments but were preferred to video examples and textual examples. In addition, students reported that certain interactive features contributed to their preference for ICT. We discuss ways to further improve the efficacy of the preferred ICT package.

用学生生成的例子评估交互式计算机训练的效果和偏好。

为本科生设计有效的、优选的教学实践是行为分析训练项目的共同目标。Nava等人（2019）的一项初步研究表明，与传统的教科书示例相比，本科生通常认为同行生成的行为分析原则示例更受欢迎、更相关、更能反映文化。然而，同伴生成的例子并没有导致概念知识评估成绩的任何改善。当前的研究扩展了Nava等人的研究，通过在交互式计算机训练（ICT）中嵌入对等生成的示例，为主动响应、快速衰落、自动反馈以及示例和非示例练习提供机会。结果表明，ICT在知识评估方面没有产生可靠的改进，但比视频示例和文本示例更受欢迎。此外，学生们报告说，某些互动功能有助于他们对信息通信技术的偏好。我们将讨论如何进一步提高首选信息通信技术一揽子方案的效力。

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.
