Overview

Learning Outcome

The goal of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to conduct applied behavior analytic research and classroom-based research; and to be educated consumers of research. The scientist-practitioner is an important type of professional. Action research and data-based decision making are still relatively new in applied, but single case research can provide the new methodology. There is a need for empirical verification of instruction and other practices.
