This study compared the effects of two types of self-monitoring on attention and academic performance. Twenty-eight students with learning disabilities were taught a spelling study procedure (SSP), followed by instruction in self-monitoring of performance (SMP) and self-monitoring of attention (SMA). Results showed that on-task behavior was significantly higher in both SMA and SMP than in SSP. Number of correct practices was significantly higher in SMP than in SSP. Spelling achievement was significantly lower in SMA than in SSP, and spelling maintenance was significantly lower in SMA than in SSP and SMP. Student interviews indicated that SMA is experienced as intrusive. The type of self-monitoring used may have direct, significant effects on academic outcomes; there does not appear to be a “best” method of self-monitoring for all students on all tasks.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a self-monitoring of academic accuracy and productivity procedure on the academic performance and on-task behavior of three male students classified as behaviorally disordered/emotionally disturbed. Students were taught to self-monitor in each of three successive academic areas: reading, mathematics, and spelling. A multiple baseline design was used to assess the effectiveness of the intervention. Students made gains in academic accuracy, productivity, and on-task behavior and improvements were observed across all subject areas. The results of this study indicate that the self-monitoring procedure can be used effectively in special education classes for students with behavioral disorders to enhance academic performance and to support on-task behavior.

The effects of self-monitoring on attention to task during small-group instruction were investigated. Three learning disabled (LD) boys with severe attentional problems were taught to self-monitor their on-task behavior while participating in oral reading tasks. A reversal design demonstrated marked increases in attention to task for all three students. The higher levels of on-task behavior were maintained during two subsequent phases in which external components of the self-monitoring procedure were withdrawn. The results indicate that self-monitoring procedures can be effectively employed during oral, small-group instruction, and that positive behavioral changes can be maintained over a period of time following the gradual fading of external, procedural components.

The effects of peer tutoring and self-management on on-task behavior and academic performance (tutee) as well as disruptive behaviors (tutor) were examined. The tutor had been identified as behaviorally disordered and the tutee as learning disabled. During the peer tutoring condition the tutee improved his on-task and academic performance but the tutor's disruptive behavior did not change. Self-management was initiated for both subjects. During self-monitoring the tutee's on-task behavior improved above that during peer tutoring. The tutor self-monitored his disruptive behavior but only slight improvements were observed. A self-instructional component was then added and the disruptive behavior was eliminated. For both subjects, a multiple baseline across-settings design was applied and results were observed across resource and general education English and mathematics classes.

ABSTRAKPerilaku on-task merupakan segala perilaku yang bertujuan untuk menyelesaikan tugas sehingga berperan penting dalam pencapaian akademik pada anak. Anak dengan underachiever umumnya memiliki masalah dalam menampilkan perilaku on- task. Sebaliknya, mereka cenderung untuk menampilkan perilaku off-task yang didefinisikan sebagai perilaku melakukan pekerjaan yang tidak ada hubungannya dengan tugas atau aktivitas yang sedang dijalani. Perilaku on-task dapat ditingkatkan dengan metode self-monitoring. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji efektivitas teknik self-monitoring dalam meningkatkan perilaku on-task pada anak underachiever. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian subyek tunggal A-B dengan follow-updengan partisipan penelitian adalah anak laki-laki underachiever berusia 9 tahun dengan IQ rata-rata atas yang cenderung menampilkan perilaku off-task ketika dihadapkan pada suatu tugas atau aktivitas. Penelitian ini terdiri dari 10 sesi dan hasil menunjukkan bahwa teknik self-monitoring dapat meningkatkan perilaku on-task dari 60% menjadi 90% dan efek pemberian intervensi bertahan hingga tahap follow-up.Kata kunci: on-task, self-monitoring, underachieverABSTRACTOn-task behavior refers as all behaviors that intended to complete the task, so it plays an important role for children’s academic achievement. Mostly, the underachiever children tend to have problems demonstrating on-task behavior. In the contrary, they tend to demonstrate off-task behavior that defined as all behaviorsthat isn’t intended to complete the task. On-task behavior can be increased with self-monitoring method. The aim of this research is to test the effectivity of self-monitoring techinique to increase underachiever children’s on-task behavior. This research is a single case AB with follow-up design. The participant in this research is a male underachiever student age 9 with the IQ score of above average that tend to demonstrate off task behavior while working on his school task. This research consists of 10 session and the result shows that the self-monitoring technique is effective in increasing the on-task behavior from 60% to 90%. The effect of this intervention last until the follow up sessionKeywords: on-task, self-monitoring, underachiever

The purpose of the present study was to examine the immediate and long term effects of self-recording for on-task responding. Data were taken for both on-task and accuracy of performance in handwriting, spelling, and math with three behaviorally disordered elementary school students. The effects of self-recording were evaluated in a multiple-baseline design across subject-matter areas. The overall results revealed an increase in both on-task and academic performance when the students self-recorded their own on-task behavior. Only one pupil decreased his academic performance over that noted in baseline. Follow-up data taken during the first, second, and third school years yielded rates of on-task behavior over that of baseline, but not at the levels found in the self-recording condition. The practical aspects of the self-recording procedure were discussed.
