ABSTRACT

A more detailed description of the course that follows the Responsive Teaching Model is given in Hall and Copeland. Participants in the Responsive Teaching course were enrolled for 3 hr of credit. The class met for a 3-hr session once each week for 16 weeks. Lectures, films, quizzes, and discussion groups of about 10 persons led by a graduate student leader were used to present basic information on recording and measurement, applied behavior analysis research designs, learning theory principles, and examples of studies carried out by researchers and by previous class members. The basic course content can be found in the Behavior Management Series. The participants carried out their studies, aided by the leader assigned to their group, during the semester in which they took the course. The number of participants in the classes varied from 40 to more than 70.
