In Concurrent Operant Analysis, for this course, the practical stakes show up in feasible school-based support, stronger collaboration, and better student participation, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →Concurrent operant analysis (COA) is an efficient and low-risk approach to assessing individuals' preferences among various conditions, including instructional contexts in educational settings. Outcomes of COA can be used to design instructional conditions under which a student will choose to engage with tasks they historically avoided (Gardner et al., 2009; Mace et al., 1996; Romani et al., 2017). This presentation will include a brief overview of the COA literature but will focus primarily on practical applications, including initial hypothesis development, basic templates for analysis design, and designing classroom supports based on analysis outcomes. Participants will leave this presentation with an understanding of choice-based assessment that empowers them to quickly and efficiently assess and fine tune instructional procedures to support student engagement in the classroom. This was an amazing application of a procedure I thought was very one-sided. Thank you for opening my eyes to different ways we can use COAs! Thank you Dr. Johanna for all the examples. Definitely helped to enhance my knowledge on COA. Helpful, articulately presented, and applicable to my clients! The only thing I would change about this course if someone of the questions did not tell us what the answers were. There was also a comparison between two different math types and I did not understand why the final 100% was chosen when it was the first time this type of math type was chosen.
