PART II BLOG POST:

As many as 35% of pre-school children exhibit disruptive behaviors in a clinically
significant manner( Anderson 1983: Webster-Stratton and Hammond 1998; Webster-
Stratton el. al 2001). Many children are at risk for behavioral difficulties because of
Families that are unemployed, poor living conditions, stress, low education, health
Problems and coercive parenting style.

Functional assessment holds a promise for addressing behavior problem in the children
The functional assessment is designed to identify function of problem behavior (Gresham
et al. 2001). Functional assessment procedures include indirect methods, direct methods,
and experimental functional analyses. These methods like the indirect method are time
efficient and require minimal response efforts, the direct method are direct observation
with conditional which capture naturally occurring environment behavior relationship.
Experimental functional analyses can provide the incontrovertible index FBA (Shriver
et al.2001) by providing experimental demonstration of the variables for problem
behaviors. A study was done on a 5 year old child and the studies showed the child
had a problem with temper he was kicking classmates, and punching. The evaluation of the
teacher showed that he was the indirect method type. www.http:/library.gcu.edu


It is said that students spend more time in the classroom than any other setting in schools
or environment. The teacher is the critical player in the creative active students with teachers
being so busy with the curriculum and the demand of preparing the children to do well on test
while trying to meet the overarching academic social and physical needs of students. Creating
a physically active learning environment can be a priority for teachers to consider in the
over all development of a child. They have develop a pyramid which gives the teachers and
the students that is related on 5 different types of activities that can be integrated into the
classroom structure. The pyramid is developed so that teachers can choose or develop activities
within the their classroom context and environment. So many children that are school are so busy
in doing school work that the teachers are forgetting that a child needs some kind of physical
activity so that they can stay in shape. www.http/library.gcu.edu

Here in the United States in higher level education students are using pocket-sized
devices to that allows them to record images from the classroom. Many teachers or
instructions do not realize that the students are send text message or photos to other people
because they do not see if the students take cell phones to class or not. There was a study
done on 261 students from different universities and 92% said that they took their cell phones
to class not to study but to be texting with other students. Many students use the cell phones to
search the web, facebook, twitter, youtube or send pictures and they also access other social
medias sites. ( Tindell & Bohlander 2012). Many instructors are being advised to learn
the policy of their institutions related to students and technology. In todays modern western
culture many students use these tools to communicate with others and are not paying attention
to what they are doing in the classroom environment and the instructors do not know what can
be done. But there are some schoold in the higher level that allow students to take tablets, laptops
into the classroom to do work and research. www.http/library.gcu.edu.
