Author(s): Summer Koltonski and Tingting Xu
Abstract: Teachers often face burnout due to stress. One stressor that can lead to burnout is classroom management and discipline problems. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) strategies can improve classroom management, however, there is a lack of research on teaching ABA skills. One approach to teaching new skills is Project Based Learning (PBL). This study was implemented in an undergraduate course in which participants completed a project that incorporated ABA knowledge and skills. The pre and post assessment showed positive increases, indicating that by participating in this course, participants gained a better knowledge about ABA and classroom management strategies. Results indicate participants felt more comfortable implementing ABA strategies and designing data collection procedures. In addition, this project helped participants increase professional skills.
