  • Setting reading accuracy goals affects performance and attitude 
    Iliopoulos, Krystel Alexandros (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2022)

  • Tracking success : a case study on the efficacy of behavioral charts in managing the disruptive behavior of a student in a school setting 
    Takadjian, Patil (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2023-07)
    One of the most vital rights to the human race is education, especially in a school setting. Disruptive behaviors in the classroom can be an obstacle in front of this right. Here comes the importance of managing classroom behavior to provide the best education to students. Moreover, focusing on these behaviors can help the student in question develop many of his cognitive and social-emotional abilities. A technique that proves beneficial in this regard involves giving the child the motivation needed to facilitate his adaptation and development. One effective approach consists in individualizing ...
