Live training versus e‐learning to teach implementation of listener response programs
Abstract
Discrete‐trial teaching is an effective teaching procedure that must be implemented with high integrity to produce optimal learning. Behavioral Skills Training (BST) has proven effective for staff training; however, BST is time and labor intensive. Computer‐based instruction (CBI) programs may provide a more efficient and cost‐effective alternative to live training if the CBI program is as effective as BST in producing accurate implementation. The current study compared CBI to BST to train novice undergraduate students to conduct discrete‐trial teaching. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the two conditions and assessed prior to and after the completion of training. Results indicated that although both BST and CBI were effective at training participants to implement discrete‐trial teaching, BST was slightly but significantly more effective whereas CBI quickly created a return on the investment of product development.

Developing a self-guided instruction manual or computer-based training modules requires a significant investment upfront.
“First, developing a self-guided instruction manual or computer-based training modules requires a significant investment upfront (see Geiger et al., 2018, for a discussion on return on investment).”

The studies using interactive media and audio components did not directly evaluate their utility compared with that of traditional training components.
“however, the studies using these interactive media and audio components did not directly evaluate their utility compared with that of traditional training components (e.g., in-person modeling, video modeling without added interactive features; cf.Geiger et al., 2018, which compared a computer-based training package to a standard BST package).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
