"Self-monitoring is an intervention technique that allows students with and without disabilities to take responsibility for observing and recording one's own behavior. Self-monitoring involves two processes: self-observation and self-recording. Self-observation requires a student to pay attention to a specific aspect of behavior and determine if the behavior being monitored occurred. Then the students record whether the behavior being monitored occurred (Amato-Zech, Hoff, & Doepke, 2006)"--Leaf 1. "My research questions are: 1. How does the use of student-teacher accuracy checks with reinforcement when using self-monitoring behavior ratings affect student accuracy with self-monitoring and on-task behavior for a third grade student that displays off-task behavior? 2. What are student perceptions of their behavior and the use of self-monitoring before and after the intervention?"--Leaf 22. "The results of this research project encourage me to believe and advocate that self-monitoring with accuracy checks and reinforcement is a useful strategy for improving students' on-task behaviors"--Leaf 48.

One of the primary goals of education is to ensure that children learn varied and complex self-management skills to become more self assured, more self reliant, and responsible for their own behavior, as well as to succeed academically. Although learning experiences designed to actively teach self-management techniques are usually directed toward children with severe academic and behavior problems, these skills are also extremely beneficial for the general student population. An excellent resource for school-based practitioners who wish to address the needs of all school-aged children and adolescents, this book presents practical approaches for designing and implementing self-management interventions in school settings.

Research has shown that self-monitoring can increase on-task behavior with students in the classroom setting. This project examined the use of a signal device to teach self monitoring to increase on-task behavior of special education students with behavioral problems. Participants were two elementary school para-educators and two K-4th grade students. During a two part process, baseline and intervention was conducted by the researcher with each student evaluating his/her on-task behavior. The researcher examined the reliability of the data on the student's on-task behavior. The researcher found that the student's on-task behavior increased with implementation of the signal device self-monitoring program. The implications from the success of this project for the use of self-monitoring programs to increase students' on-task behavior are discussed.

Limited research exists on the use of self-monitoring interventions in the juvenile justice setting. This replication study used a randomized multiple-baseline design across participants to determine if there is a functional relationship between the self-monitoring intervention and an increase in on-task behavior of three male students in a secure juvenile facility in Texas. The self-monitoring intervention consisted of a student worksheet to track behavior, a vibrating watch to remind students to record their behavior, and individual training in how to use the worksheet and watch. Results indicated that self-monitoring was associated with an increase in on-task behavior across all participants. Also discussed are implications of these findings and future directions for similar research in the juvenile justice setting.

This thesis represents an experimental analysis procedure designed and carried out by this author to increase attention to and completion of math homework. The subject of this study was a 13-year-old boy with Autism and ADHD. The skill was being able to self-monitor and increase his on-task behavior. In the intervention, a MotivAider ® (2 3/8" x 2 1/2") is an assistive technology device that vibrates at varying intervals, as a cue to increase his on-task behavior. Results showed some increase in his on-task behavior. Stronger results might have occurred if more sessions had occurred. Previous research has shown that the MotivAider ® and self-monitoring is successful in increasing on-task behavior. Future research will look into techniques to increase motivation and accuracy of self-monitoring.

This study examined the effectiveness of using a technology-based self-monitoring intervention called Monitoring Behavior on the Go (MoBeGo). On-task behavior for students with behavioral issues was the primary dependent variable in the study. The researcher employed a single-subject withdrawal design (ABAB) with two generalization phases (C-D) to investigate the ability of MoBeGo to generalize the results to a different setting. Visual analysis of graphs revealed the participants had a clear functional relationship between MoBeGo and percentage of on-task behavior. The finding illustrated on-task behaviors in a different setting did not increase without using MoBeGo and therefore no automatic generalization occurred in different settings. A replicated phase (D) was conducted to confirm the finding, and the results showed the percentage of on-task behavior increased in math and science classes which used MoBeGo and did not increase in reading/writing which did not use MoBeGo. Also, the outcomes showed MoBeGo has a high level of acceptability among teachers who participated in the study. The researcher evaluated this single-subject withdrawal design (ABABCD) by using the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards. In addition, the researcher utilized the Single-Case Analysis and Review Framework (SCARF) to evaluate the study outcomes. The evaluation results of using WWC and SCARF are discussed in Chapter 4. The researcher discussed major lessons learned and some limitations of using technology based self-monitoring (TBSM). In addition, implications for practitioners, researchers, and application developers were included as future directions for using TBSM. Moreover, the researcher discussed the potential role of self-monitoring-based artificial intelligence (SMBAI) in education, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI), large language models (LLMs), or machine learning (ML) with self-monitoring apps. Finally, some important questions were raised about protecting privacy and minimizing the risk of data breaches for individuals, and how to ensure the security of individuals' data.

Social problems in many domains, including health, education, social relationships, and the workplace, have their origins in human behavior. The documented links between behavior and social problems have compelled governments and organizations to prioritize and mobilize efforts to develop effective, evidence-based means to promote adaptive behavior change. In recognition of this impetus, The Handbook of Behavior Change provides comprehensive coverage of contemporary theory, research, and practice on behavior change. It summarizes current evidence-based approaches to behavior change in chapters authored by leading theorists, researchers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines, including psychology, sociology, behavioral science, economics, philosophy, and implementation science. It is the go-to resource for researchers, students, practitioners, and policy makers looking for current knowledge on behavior change and guidance on how to develop effective interventions to change behavior.
