Self-monitor

Self- Monitoring Research:

ing is defined as
occurring when an individual assess whether
or not a targeted behavior has occurred and
then records the results in some manner
(Nelson,1977;Nelson & Hayes,1981).
There are two types of self-monitoring:

the results when cued
Self-monitoring of performance,

1989).

What is Self-Regulation?
Self-regulation refers to several processes
that allow children to appropriately respond

Self-Monitoring and SelfRegulation

Examined the effect of a selfregulation multicomponent

process with

3
students with developmental
disabilities.

80 %
of students with LD spend the
majority of their time in general
education (U.S Department of
Education, 1990).
Self monitoring can increase the
amount of time a student spends
on task; this may create a
positive environment for the
child.
Self-monitoring has shown to be
effective in increasing on task
behaviors in the classroom
(Magg, 1993; Prater, 1992).

Two studies:
Investigated the usefulness of selfmonitoring as a major component of an
intervention package designed to help
teachers cope with difficult to teach
students (Fuchs,Bahr, Fernstrom,&
Stecker,1990).
Results indicated students
increased the frequency of
targeted behaviors.
Students manageability and
tolerability increased.
Teachers perceived the
intervention procedures as
