Summary: | 碩士 === 中華科技大學 === 經營管理研究所 === 104 === The Purpose of this study is to investigate into the effects of the positive behavioral support on promoting self-management abilities of students with serious mental retardation on cognition function in special classroom of elementary school.
Three students with serious mental retardation on cognition function in a special classroom of elementary school were participated in this study. By way of invidual-case data collection and direct observation in joining courses in the classroom, compile a positive behavioral support experiment program and a self-management abilitiy checklist.
ABA' design of the single-subject experimentation was adopted by the research. At the initial and final experimental stage, the changes of self-management ability were reviewed in comparison with the effect of positive behavioral support by the self-management ability checklist. The research data collected are analyzed by visual analyses and C statistics to determine the result of this study.
The results of this study can be summarized as follows:
1. After the above program was proved, subjects were immediately promoted to
concern about environment and could even follow planned steps to take action,
which were maintained steadily.
2. The result of this study indicated that the above experimental program really took
effect on the self-management abilities of the students with serious mental
retardation on cognition function in special classroom of elementary school.
3. Four subjects had different individual stereotypic responses as follows:
(1) Student A - stereotypic behavior (as a daily leader) was about post with
durance without much care taken by teachers;
(2) Student B - stereotypic behavior was about daily job self-assigned;
(3) Student C - stereotypic behavior was about attendance;
(4) Student D - stereotypic behavior was also about attendance.
Based on the above result, several recommendations will be proposed to be applicable to practical service in education and research.
Key words:positive behavioral support, students with serious mental retardation on
cognition function in elemental school, self-management abilities.
