Presentation: What Happens When We Let Students Select Their Intervention Experiences?
Abstract:
Over the past decade, Dr. Donaldson and her graduate students have been studying behavioral interventions to improve classroom behavior and academic performance in preschool and elementary students. They have also been asking student participants to make choices about whether and how they experience these interventions. In this presentation, Dr. Donaldson will share some common themes that have emerged when choices are provided to students. She will also touch on methodological refinements of our choice procedures and conclude with future research ideas on choice and preference for behavioral interventions.
