Functional Behavior Assessment

Classroom management is one of the most important skills to become an effective classroom teacher. Teachers with the ability to manage the classroom can create a learning-oriented environment (Burden & Cooper, 2004). Teachers may be well prepared and skilled in classroom management, but at some point they will encounter students whose behavior is in the classroom's authority and administration. There is no easy way to deal with these difficult situations, but there are several strategies that can be useful.

What is functional behavior evaluation? Functional behavior assessment (FBA) is the process of identifying specific target behavior, behavioral goals, and factors that maintain behavior that impedes student education progress. The target action may be "Johnny did not complete the task at 80% of the time during seat work". This goal action includes several "task" behaviors. His pencil is sticking drums on his desk rather than following instructions. This process led to the development of an intervention plan to teach acceptable alternative behaviors. The resulting intervention program focuses on teaching new behavior and social skills, but changes in school and classroom environment and activities, coordination of the provision of curriculum and guidance, teachers / students who maintain bad behavior We often need to change relationships.

Some EBD students need more specific intervention based on comprehensive behavioral behavioral assessment of individual behavioral intervention programs. The following is a discussion on functional behavior evaluation and strategy for developing behavioral intervention programs. The natural order of events is to first evaluate the quality function of the behavior of the problem. Based on information obtained from functional behavior assessment, behavioral intervention programs are developed through team processes involving various school experts, usually parents or carers. Thereafter, the plan is implemented and supervised by designated experts. Based on feedback from the surveillance system, modify the behavior intervention plan as necessary. The following discussion is intended
