The Problem Solving Process: A Single Case Investigation into Procedural Adherence, Teacher Adherence, and Student Outcomes

Webster, Kimberly Lynn

Abstract Details

2010, EdD, University of Cincinnati, Education : Special Education.

This study investigated a fourth grade problem solving team, teacher adherence to an

intervention, and the effects of the intervention on student performance. This study hypothesized

that (a) providing performance feedback to problem solving teams on a 20-item checklist created

from the literature increases procedural adherence, (b) creating an intervention adherence sheet

for general education teachers increases teacher adherence to intervention procedures, and (c) if a

planned intervention for a student is implemented with adherence, student outcomes would

improve. The participants for this study were a fourth grade problem solving team (n=7), general

education teachers (n=3), targeted students (n=3), and a micro-norm student group (n=3). A

single subject AB design revealed that performance feedback to a fourth grade problem solving

team increased procedural adherence to the 20-items on the checklist. Additionally, a single

subject AB design with an added maintenance phase revealed that when a student with an

attention to task concern is provided a Tier 1 intervention with teacher adherence to the

intervention, performance may improve. Thus, providing performance feedback to problem

solving teams and creating teacher adherence sheets for intervention implementation may

increase student outcomes. Furthermore, limitations, implications for research and practice, and

suggestions for further research are discussed.
