SED 526 - Behavior Analysis and the Scientific Assessment of Learning

This is the second course in a series of four. Building on the concepts taught in SED 525 Basic Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, the purpose of this course is to acquaint educators and related professionals with the behavior analytic practice of science within the applied context of special education. Within this context, behavior analysis offers practical empirical approaches to (a) the multi-faceted assessment of children’s instructional and behavioral needs, and (b) the evaluation of supportive interventions predicated on such assessment. Readings will be drawn from both text and primary sources, both recent and classic in the field.
