For many teachers it can be difficult to decide if a student behavior needs intervention. These are usually less severe problems that do not happen at a rapid rate. Frequency and Interval Recording is a way to collect information that can help a teacher decide if the behavior is causing problems to the student or within the classroom

Please review the following document on Frequency and Interval Recording.

After you have reviewed the objective and overview sections, please complete the activity section by watching the video. You will need to make copies of both the frequency recording sheet and the interval recording sheet from the above document before watching the video.

Once you have completed the activity, answer these questions and submit your response as a word document in the assignment section:

1. What was the frequency of the student’s target behavior?
2. Based on the frequency recording data, what was the rate of the student’s target behavior?
3. For what percentage of intervals did the student exhibit the target behavior?
4. Compare the results of the frequency recording and the partial interval recording.
5. Based on the data, do you think the student’s behavior is problematic? Explain.
6. Write a reflection discussing your impressions of this technique and how you might use it in your classroom.
