ABSTRACT
The behavioural approach lends itself to dealing with the behaviour of groups of children equally well. This chapter presents a series of demonstration studies illustrating a variety of intervention techniques and methods of bringing about changes in the behaviour of groups or classes of children. Like the demonstration studies concerned with individual children, those reported in the chapter vary in the degree of rigour displayed. Not all of the studies report numerical data, for example. It is not always possible, even if it is always desirable, to collect the quantity and quality of data one would ideally prefer whilst continuing to carry out general teaching activities. Nevertheless, the studies reported which do not include much reference to data were judged to be successful by the teachers who undertook them and they provide a rich source of ideas for possible interventions which can be readily employed in most classrooms.
