“Praise” was defined as a verbal indication of approval following a student’s behavior. Praise excluded vague statements, such as a simple ‘thanks,’ and went beyond acknowledging a correct response. “Reprimands” were defined as verbal disapproval, such as a threat or scolding, as a response to inappropriate behavior. Vague negative statements and teachers silently waiting for their class to become quiet were not counted as reprimands.
Additionally, they gathered data about classroom on-task behavior using momentary time sampling at 30-second intervals during the observation sessions. Observers were trained to identify on-task behavior and off-task behavior with quizzes, videos, and through real-life training sessions until their observation and calculation ability reached 90% accuracy.This study did not identify a conclusive PRR threshold, or ‘tipping point’, at which student’s classroom behavior drastically improves.
