The Social Validity of Level Systems.
Safran, Stephen P.; Johanson, George A.; Kalis, Donna
B.C. Journal of Special Education, v21 n3 p112-29 1998
A survey of 44 students (grades 4-10) with behavior disorders, 14 special educators, and 15 teacher assistants evaluated the social validity of level systems (behavioral management interventions applied to shape students' social, emotional, and academic behaviors to pre-established levels). While students were the most negative group, they acknowledged improvements in peer relationships and that it was advantageous to be at higher levels. (CR)
