The effect of general self-management skills on the achievement of behavior disordered (BD) students on independent math tasks is described. Eighteen students with behavior disorders were trained to apply general self-management strategies to affect improvement in performance on independent math calculation practice sheets. A single-subject multiple baseline design across three subjects with five direct, concurrent replications was used to analyze the data. Student performance under two separate conditions, baseline and self-management, was compared. Based on the weekly mean percentage of correct responses to daily mathematics worksheets, students' achievement improved significantly under the treatment condition. Implications for the use of self-management strategies by special needs students are suggested.Requests for reprints should be sent to
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
