Design I
used the multiple-baseline-across-behaviors experimental design to analyze
the effectiveness of transactional strategies instruction to increase reading
comprehension of my elementary students. The
multiple-baseline-across-behaviors design allowed me to investigate my study
without withdrawing the interventions. I hoped my students would continue to
become better learners during my research. Procedures
With the multiple-baseline-across-behaviors design, a baseline was
established for all targeted behaviors on reading comprehension strategies.
All baselines for prediction, questioning, visualization, and summarization
began at the same time. Once a stable baseline was leveled, the first
intervention was conducted. The second intervention was applied when it was
shown that a positive response had been made from the first intervention.
Next, the third intervention was applied when a positive response had been
made from the second intervention. The final invention was applied when it
was evident that a positive response had been made from the third
intervention. A fellow researcher conducted reliability checks for both the dependent and independent variables. Once this step had been completed, I collected and graphed the data. There was a separate graph for each dependent variable and subject. |
