Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this study was to synthesize the literature in support of training teachers to use behavior-specific praise, which is a strategy used to reduce students’ disruptive and off-task behavior as well as prevent students’ problem behaviors from occurring. The results of 28 single-case studies examining the effectiveness of training teachers to increase their use of behavior-specific praise were synthesized in this meta-analysis. Overall results suggest that praise training produced a strong effect (Tau-U = 0.85) at increasing teachers’ use of behavior-specific praise. Limitations, implications, and future directions of the findings are discussed.
期刊介绍：
With a new publisher (Taylor & Francis) and a new editor (David L. Wodrich), the Journal of Applied School Psychology will continue to publish articles and periodic thematic issues in 2009. Each submission should rest on either solid theoretical or empirical support and provide information that can be used in applied school settings, related educational systems, or community locations in which practitioners work. Manuscripts appropriate for publication in the journal will reflect psychological applications that pertain to individual students, groups of students, teachers, parents, and administrators. The journal also seeks, over time, novel and creative ways in which to disseminate information about practically sound and empirically supported school psychology practice.
