BST
The six steps of BST.
WHAT ARE:
1. Verbal description
2. Written description
3. Demonstration and modelling
4. Rehearsal and observation
5. Provide feedback
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until competency
For positive feedback to be effective, supervisors should make sure these two pre-requisites are met.
WHAT ARE:
- Completing other outcome management steps
- Providing feedback with sincerity
These are two reasons why mediators may not implement procedures correctly.
WHAT ARE:
Skill deficit
Motivation deficit
When designing data sheets for trainees, supervisors need to take care to reduce this to increase the likelihood of accurate and consistent data.
WHAT IS:
Response effort
Do Supervisors always know how to motivate staff?
No
These are the steps of BST that are often combined to save time, however is not best practice to do so.
WHAT ARE:
Verbal instructions and written instructions
These are some pros/cons of vocal-verbal feedback (2 each).
PROS:
- Efficient
- Personal
- Gives supervisor feedback
- Gives trainee question opportunity
CONS:
- Requires observation
- Requires good communication
- Can be altered if negative supervisor/supervisee interactions
Creating this type of environment represents an antecedent strategy that supervisors should already be engaging in to make corrective feedback more salient.
WHAT IS:
An overall supportive, positive, enjoyable work environment.
These are the three most critical steps of BST when teaching mediators how to collect data.
WHAT ARE:
Demonstration, practice, and feedback
Some of the best ways to motivate mediators (Name 3).
WHAT ARE:
-Providing tangible rewards
-Frequent positive interactions
-Participative management
-Assisting staff with work
-Positive supervisory structure
This can be reduced if monitoring is done regularly.
WHAT IS:
Reactivity
These are disadvantages of written feedback (2).
WHAT ARE:
-Lacks personalization
-Ineffective if it replaces verbal feedback (should be a supplement)
By specifying exactly what mediators need to work on, supervisors are providing this type of feedback.
WHAT IS:
Diagnostic feedback
When supervisors are ______ about data collection, it helps with trainee acceptance and buy-in for procedures.
WHAT IS:
Realistic
Some of the worst ways to motivate staff (Name 3).
WHAT ARE:
- Negative interactions
- Authoritative management
- Inaccessible management
- Inattention to structure
- Inaction
The three most critical steps of BST when teaching mediators how to collect data.
WHAT ARE:
Demonstration, practice, and feedback
This is a type of feedback that is delivered just prior to the next opportunity for the mediator to engage in the skill.
WHAT IS:
Formative feedback
Opponents of the Feedback Sandwich method suggest providing feedback in this specific sequence.
WHAT IS:
Corrective - Positive - Positive
Emphasizing this about data collection helps with buy-in for staff and parents to learn how to complete this task correctly.
WHAT IS:
The importance of data collection / the value of using data in ABA
Helping mediators identify this can assist with motivation in difficult training situations.
Values
These are benefits to training mediators (Name 2).
WHAT IS:
-Spreads the wealth of ABA knowledge and efficacy
-Better intervention outcomes for clients (mediators are part of the environment)
-Helps with generalization and maintenance of skills
Regardless of whether feedback is delivered (this or this), the results of feedback should be_______.
WHAT IS:
Regardless of whether feedback is delivered (immediately or with a delay), the results of feedback should be readily shared.
Decipher this mnemonic device to identify these 7 steps of providing corrective feedback:
Puppies Can Definitely Increase Quality Notable Happiness
P - start POSITIVE
C - state what was done CORRECTLY
D - provide DIAGNOSTIC feedback (specify exactly what the incorrect performance was)
I - tell how to IMPROVE performance
Q - provide the opportunity for QUESTIONS
N - inform what the NEXT steps are
H - end on a HIGH note
Romanczyk et al. (1973) focused their research on reactivity of data collection. They found pros and cons specifically related to completing ____ or _____ type of monitoring.
WHAT IS:
Overt or covert monitoring.
People with these two specific experiences are the best sources of knowledge for how to motivate trainees.
WHO ARE: people who have worked front-line before, and people who have experience with various supervisory style.
