The Utility of Brief Experimental Analysis and Extended Intervention Analysis in Selecting Effective Mathematics Interventions
Mong, Michael D.; Mong, Kristi W.
Journal of Behavioral Education, v21 n2 p99-118 Jun 2012
The present study evaluated the utility of brief experimental analysis (BEA) in predicting effective interventions for increasing the math fluency of 3 elementary students identified as having math skill deficits. Baseline data were collected followed by implementation of a BEA consisting of the following interventions: cover, copy, and compare, taped problems (TP), and math to mastery (MTM). An extended analysis phase using an alternating treatments design compared all 3 interventions against the results of the BEA. Two follow-up measurements were taken 5 days and 15 days after termination of the extended intervention analysis phase. Results indicated the BEA correctly predicted the most effective intervention for enhancing math fluency for all 3 students. Comparison of the intervention conditions revealed the MTM intervention to be the most effective intervention for 2 of the 3 students, while the TP intervention was the most efficient for 2 of the 3 students.
