The relationship between student behavior change and teacher reactions to the change was investigated. One fifth-grade teacher served as the subject and two students in her class were employed as teacher change agents. In a multiple baseline design, the students' disruptive behavior (the independent variable) was modified without the teacher's knowledge. The teacher's reactions toward the students (the dependent variable) was monitored on several dimensions including: teacher behavior, teacher attitude toward students, and the quality of teacher verbal statements. Results indicated that student behavior change influenced the teacher's behavior. Implications are that students possess potent reinforcing properties for teachers and that students should be trained to be effective students.
研究了学生行为改变与教师对这种改变的反应之间的关系。一位五年级教师担任了被试,她班上的两名学生则被聘为教师改变代理人。在一个多基线设计中,学生的破坏性行为(自变量)在教师不知情的情况下被改变了。教师对学生的反应(因变量)在多个维度上进行了监测,包括:教师行为、教师对学生的态度,以及教师口头陈述的质量。结果表明,学生的行为改变影响了教师的行为。这意味着学生对教师具有强大的强化作用,应该对学生进行培训,使他们成为有效的学生。
