Qualitative Review Sample

Positive behaviour support (PBS) is an approach to providing services to individuals who exhibit challenging behaviour. Since the early 1990s, PBS has received increasing attention from the behaviour-analytic community. Some behaviour analysts have embraced this approach, but others have voiced questions and concerns. Over the past dozen years, an approach to delivery of behavioral services known as positive behavior support has emerged as a highly visible movement. Although PBS has been substantially influenced by applied behavior analysis, other factors are also part of its

The author believes that there are gaps in understanding to the RTI Tier 1 interventions with effective teaching. In addition, they belive there should be more research on positive behavioral support strategies. The authors belive there is not enough research on PBS. However, the authors believe PBS might be effective but they are concern with who can implement the

In our school, the principal is the head of our organization and since she does not have an Assistant Principal, is the head all alone. She has been principal for 10+ years at the same establishment and loves every day. She stresses to her staff the importance of student safety, student achievement, parental

According to Schneider, Elliot, LoBiondo-Wood & Haber (2004), qualitative research methods, search for the meaning and understanding of human experiences in a naturalistic setting. A researcher obtains subjective facts in order to explore the experiences of each participant (Schneider, Elliot, LoBiondo-Wood & Haber 2004). As a result, qualitative research is a means in which a researcher gains an insight into the participant's point of view concerning their personal experiences; in order gain an understanding of the information given. Therefore this allows a researcher to collect subjective information to create a description of the phenomenon (Vishnevsky & Beanlands 2004).

Positive behavioral support is a widespread research based hands on approach to behavioral support that aims to generate ample change for students with challenging behavior. “It involves identifying the purpose of the challenging behavior, teaching appropriate alternative responses that serve the same purpose as the challenging behavior, consistently rewarding positive behaviors and minimizing the rewards for challenging behavior, and minimizing the physiological, environmental, and curricular elements that trigger challenging behavior Ruef, Higgins, Glaeser, & Patnode, 2009). Proven PBS strategies include modifying the classroom environment, increasing predictability and scheduling, increasing choice making, acclimating the syllabus and acknowledgment of positive behaviors.

Welcome parents and student to Franklin County Elementary. Our superintendent of education has recently decided to implement a school wide positive behavior support. This approach to discipline includes school-wide, targeted, and individualized strategies for achieving social and learning outcomes while preventing problem behavior with all students. It involves modifying our processes and procedures to help decrease problem behaviors. You will see that we have added reminders throughout the school (in the classrooms, hallways, lunchroom, bathrooms, etc.) as a friendly reminder of the rules to encourage good behavior. Our goal is to get more remarks for positive behavior than incident reports for negative behavior every week. The remainder of this paper will outline our School Wide Positive Behavior Support, explaining behavior expectations, rewards, error correction procedures, and data collection procedures.

The title of this research study is: The internet and student research: teaching critical evaluation skills. I believe that this title is suitable for the research study because it is an overview of the information that relates the point of the study itself which indicates a connection between students and their use of the internet when it comes to utilizing the internet as a research tool. The study reflects the central phenomenon by exploring

What is/are the research question(s) addressed in this study and what is the purpose (5 points)?

These episodes are also summarized versions of research articles which means that important information can excluded. This omission of information can then be misleading to the general public. In regards to the research article the type of study conducted comes with its own weaknesses. Since the study is longitudinal there is a risk of attrition or loss of participants. Participants who may have had low academic achievement and were the oldest child may have dropped out of the study which could lead to the results the researchers
