Statement of Focus (100 points)

  1. What area of ESE or Education do you feel YOU can change or improve? Please think of this in light of your proposed action research focus this term.

I would like to focus on increasing on-task behavior during distance learning time in gifted students diagnosed with ADHD at elementary level.

  1. Why is this change particularly meaningful to YOU as an educator?

This change is particularly meaningful to me because, as an educator, I want my students to successfully engaged in academic learning time outside of the classroom setting.

  1. What do other educators or professionals tell you when YOU discuss this topic with them?

Other educators agree that the classroom setting is the most successful one when it comes to knowledge acquisition because in this setting, students have less distractions than at home. Another concern that educators have in relation to this matter is that at home setting there is no scholar schedule and/or structure as in schools and also caregivers are not trained on teaching skills and most of the time responses to exercises/test can be biased by their help and/or other distractors environment related.

  1. How is the desired outcome a part of YOUR educational philosophy?

The School is the ideal setting for learning acquisition for gifted students, but they can also learn in home setting if they have the appropriate resources. Applying behavioral intervention programs to keep them focused and engaged on tasks can be a method to successfully increase their academic learning time.

  1. Describe the situation with your student/group of students that you want to change by implicitly focusing on: (What is the problem you would like to improve)

Who? What? When? Where? How?

I would like to increase the on-task behavior during distance learning time for gifted students at elementary level, at home setting. I will apply a behavioral intervention plan, based on the results of a preference assessment previously done according to functions of the behaviors observed.
