1.What factors influence the students’ off-task behaviors.

1. Functional Assessment Screening Tool (FAST).

2. Observation

Throughout distance learning sessions

 Datasheets

1.1 Increase of duration, amount, and complexity of the tasks.

1.1-1.2 Implement behavioral antecedent interventions such as noncontingent reinforcement or NCR: providing frequent breaks during academic tasks, the high probability sequence, and auditive stimulus (classical music).

1.1-1.4 T, C

1.1-1.4 C

1.1-1.4 T

1.2 A non-stimulating learning environment.

Audio

1.3 Lack of the use of reinforcers to increase on-task behaviors.

1.3-1.4 Implement behavioral consequent interventions such as Premack Principle and differential negative reinforcement of alternative behaviors (DNRA).

1.4 Parental reinforcement of their children's escape behaviors and avoidance of academic assignments.

 2.0 What is the effect of antecedent and consequent strategies on the students’ off-task behaviors?

2.1 Compare the graphed data of students’ off-task behaviors before and after the implementation of the interventions.
