Student Behaviors, Teacher Reinforcement, Student Ability, and Learning.

Gettinger, Maribeth

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v8 n4 p391-402 Oct 1983

Classroom observation of 98 fourth-grade boys was coded to examine the relationships among student behaviors exhibited during class instruction, teacher reinforcement of those behaviors, student ability, and achievement. The strongest causal effects were from student ability measures. Accurate responding by students and teacher reinforcement of accurate responding exhibited smaller, but significant, effects.
