“…McBrien & Weightman (1980) reported a study of room management (Crisp & Sturmey 1988;Sturmey & Crisp 1986, 1990 which included children with developmental levels of 1-12 months and multiple disabilities. In this study, the authors felt that the PLA-Check procedure would mask important individual differences.…”

“…Descriptive and experimental studies have been undertaken to compare the relationship of environmental features and behaviour in objective terms (e.g. Crisp & Sturmey 1988;Twardosz 1984). Such studies attempt to precisely define the environment and the behaviours of interest, measure the reliability of data collection, and in the case of experimental studies, manipulate the environment to ascertain if any fimctional relationships exist between the environment and behaviour.…”

ABSTRACT. Group engagement is an approach which farther advances the concept of group engagement but is empirically weak in identifying those behaviours that are related to learning. A definition of group engagement which emphasized age‐appropriate, functional behaviours which fall within the set curriculum has finally been developed. This approach is the most conceptually sophisticated approach, is ideologically acceptable, and has some empirical validation. Future research should concentrate on articulating clear principles to guide operationalization and validation. The development of several different operationalizations of engagement for clearly specified different purposes is recommended. Group engagement measures should be subject to greater psychometric analysis. The use of disaggregation of group engagement to analyse the behaviour of individuals and component behaviours is recommended

“…Clearly, individual teaching has a number of attractions: it reduces distractions for teachers and students (Westling, Ferrell & Swenson, 1982); it can promote a high rate of skill acquisition (Jenkins el al., 1974); and it allows individualisation of goals, materials, and teaching methods. However, in many applied settings it occupies only a very small proportion of the day (Crisp & Sturmey, 1988), the most frequent reason for this being insufficient staff time (Westerling et al, 1981).…”

The two experiments in this study compared the effectiveness of individual teaching and room management conditions in increasing the amount of time spent providing individual tuition to two groups of adult students with mental handicaps. Although such tuition was increased in the individual teaching condition, this was at the expense of other important aspects of staff and student performance. Suggestions are made for overcoming some of these difficulties, and a call for further examination of current reliance on small group situations as the primary vehicle for student teaching is made.

“…Increasing stafjclient ratios by reducinggroup size. This type of approach has increased purposeful activity levels within groups (Crisp and Sturmey, 1988;Dalgleish and Matthews, 1981;Felce et al, in press), although possibly at the expense of individual training (Crisp and Sturmey, 1984;1988).…”

An ABCBA withdrawal design was employed to examine the effects of peer prompting and attention, and staff assisted peer prompting and attention, on task engagement and productivity of two women with severe mental handicaps on a vocational assembly task. Results indicated that: both engagement and productivity were greater in each of the two intervention conditions when compared with baseline; the addition of instructor assistance resulted in further increases in productivity and engagement; and peers were effective in prompting and praising, contingent on disengaged and engaged behaviour respectively.
