ED 661A Concepts and Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis

3 credits
This course is designed to provide students with an introductory understanding of the history of ABA, principles of behavior analysis, including reinforcement, extinction and punishment, direct observation, generalization, and maintenance of skills. Such information will prepare participants to understand scientific and applied literature that addresses research-based teaching procedures. Students will acquire tools to evaluate information that will impact their professional work with children and youth. In addition to the basic theoretical principles, participants will also learn how to apply them in their daily work with children, and how to utilize and analyze data-based protocols. This class will reflect on ethical issues when using such principles. The course will focus on theory as well as practice, and challenge you through real-world problem-based scenarios. Please try to make connections between what is taking place in your professional work and the content being discussed. If you are not currently teaching or working in a related field, I would like you to address issues as if you were actually teaching in a classroom or working with an individual.
