Research has shown that self-monitoring of attention (SMA) and self-monitoring of productivity (SMP) are beneficial in increasing academic performance and on-task behavior. The simplicity and ease of self-monitoring renders it an applicable tool for students that have learning disabilities (LD). An alternating treatment design was used to examine four students receiving special education and that have LD during math instruction. Each student was trained to implement SMA and SMP during math class. This study was conducted in order to investigate the differences between SMA and SMP in relation to academic performance and on-task behaviors with students that having LD and that are receiving special education. Results did show a difference between the two techniques in which self-monitoring of productivity produced higher and more stable rates of academic performance and on-task behaviors. However, there was no increase in academic performance among the participants overall. The results show that there was no increase in target behaviors during treatment conditions over baseline conditions.

Abstract: This study used audio-taped chimes and a student checklist for on-task! off-task behavior. The study took place in a high school study hail specifically for students with disabilities. The three participants were tenth graders and had the diagnosis of ADHD. The observers used a 10-second whole interval recording system to record on-task! offtask behavior within an alternating treatment design. The conditions included: Baseline, Self-Monitoring, and Self-Monitoring with Reinforcement. Results indicate self- monitoring alone was effective enough to significantly increase the on-task behavior of two participants. Additional reinforcement was needed to increase the on-task behavior of the third student.
