The reliability of a code to measure teaching skills was assessed by using it to evaluate a behavioral training program for parents of developmentally disabled children. Twelve sets of parents participated in a program to give them the skills needed to be teachers in the areas of behavior management and language acquisition. Using group meetings and home visits, parents were taught general principles of behavior change as well as intervention strategies for specific problems. A sample of parents' teaching behaviors with their children was videotaped three times before and once after treatment. There were no significant changes in teaching behavior before treatment. After training, the results showed that the observation code could discriminate reliably between parents' correct and incorrect use of eight discrete and specifiable behavior modification skills. The significance of these findings and the uses and limitations of the code were discussed.
通过使用一种代码来评估针对发育障碍儿童家长的行为训练项目，以此来评估该代码测量教学技能的可靠性。十二组家长参与了一个项目，该项目旨在赋予他们在行为管理和语言习得领域成为教师所需的技能。通过小组会议和家访，向家长传授行为改变的一般原则以及针对特定问题的干预策略。在治疗前对家长与孩子互动时的教学行为样本进行了三次录像，治疗后进行了一次录像。治疗前教学行为没有显著变化。训练后，结果表明观察代码能够可靠地区分家长对八种离散且可明确的行为修正技能的正确和错误使用。讨论了这些发现的意义以及该代码的用途和局限性。
