What are three factors teachers should consider when using the changing criterion design?
What will be an ideal response?
Correct Answer:
The first is the length of the intervention stages. Each subsequent intervention stage should be long enough to establish stable intervention data so that the effectiveness of the intervention strategy can be determined. The second factor is the size of the criterion change. The change should be reasonable in size, because a large increase in the criterion may negate the effectiveness of the intervention strategy. Finally, the number of criterion changes can determine the effectiveness of the intervention strategy. The more changes, the more confidence the teacher can have in the effectiveness of the intervention strategy, but the number of criterion changes should be relevant to the length of the intervention stages and the size of the criterion for each intervention stage.
