The action research will be based on the off-task behavior of two 3rd grade students. In the attachments, you can find a template that must be used to follow each step of your intervention. The litera
Intervention (4 pages maximum)
the interventions, analysis, or strategies you implemented to improve the “problem”;
Different behavioral antecedents and consequence interventions were implemented to decrease the off-task behaviors and increase the time on task. The behavioral antecedent interventions that were implemented are the delivery of reinforcement on a fixed-time (FT) schedule (sometimes referred to as noncontingent reinforcement or NCR), the high probability sequence, reducing task demands by modifying the length and/or difficulty of assignments, and provide choices. The behavioral consequence interventions that were implemented are Premack principle, differential negative reinforcement of alternative behaviors (DNRA) and reinforcement.
What is missing is to explain the interventionsWe teach replacements skills (request for assistance or attention, time on task….)
the data collection strategies and sources you used, when the data collection occurred (dates of implementation and/or data collection, length of study);
Our research involved qualitative data source and quantitative data sources using a mixed-methods design.
Quantitative: Questionnaire (Functional Behavior Assessment Tool)

Qualitative: Observation
Dates of implementation and/or data collection, length of study:
The study took six weeks from May 11 to June 20. The first two weeks (May 11-May 23) we record the data of off-task behaviors to construct a baseline for each student. The following weeks we implement the antecedent and consequence interventions and teach replacement skills in each session that we work with the students during distance learning sessions (from Monday to Saturday).
