Japanese Journal of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, 47(2) 1-13, 2021 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding authorThe demand for the educational practices using information and communication technology in Japanese schools and the widespread of COVID-19 infection require the development of effective distance learning support. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness and social validity of distance learning support for reading Kanji using stimulus pairing procedures in two students with developmental disabilities. For this purpose, in Case I, we supported the child’s independent learning via video meetings and e-mails, and in Case Ⅱ, we used only video meetings. In both cases, we used a multiple probe design to examine the effects of the interventions. We measured the percentage of Kanji words read correctly throughout the study. The results indicated that the percentage of Kanji words read correctly improved in both cases. In addition, participants and their parents rated the distance learning support as excellent. However, there were some problems in maintaining the intervention effect in Case I. Future issues such as improving the maintenance of the intervention effect, examining the generalization of the intervention effect, and the procedural fidelity were discussed.

Japanese Journal of Behavior Analysis, 34(2) 198-210, Mar, 2020 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding authorSchool-wide positive behavior support (SWPBS) and response to intervention (RTI) are widely researched evidence-based practices in schools in the United States. Although academic response to intervention has been introduced little by little in Japanese special needs education, only a small amount of practical research based on response to intervention has been done. Response to intervention has many components in common with school-wide positive behavior support and is closely related to behavior analysis, however, these relationships have rarely been referred to in Japanese academic journals. The present article describes the core components of response to intervention (multi-tiered prevention system, screening, progress monitoring, data-based decision making) and conceptualizes some response to intervention components (data-based decision making and teaming) as a process of establishing stimulus control of teachers’ behavior. The recent development of multi-tiered system of support (MTSS), a framework that integrates response to intervention and school-wide positive behavior support, is also described. Finally, future directions toward a system level approach for school reform in Japan are discussed in terms of behavioral contingencies inside and outside schools.

Japanese Journal of Behavior Analysis, 34(2) 244-257, Mar, 2020 Peer-reviewedStudy objectives: To implement Tier 1 support of school-wide positive behavior support (SWPBS) and to examine its effectiveness and social validity. Design: AB design. Setting: One public elementary school. Participants: All school personnel and all students at the school. Intervention: A positive behavior matrix was developed, and behavior support plans for each target behavior were developed and implemented. Measures: A tally of the number of students engaged in the targeted behaviors, and data obtained using an interval recording method. In addition, a rating scale was administered 3 times, and the average scores of all students at each administration were compared. Social validity data were collected using a questionnaire. Results: The target behaviors increased after the intervention, and scores on the rating scale improved, suggesting a certain social validity. Conclusion: The results suggest that the Tier 1 support implemented in the present study was effective and had acceptable social validity. However, several challenges were identified, including problems with team management and with moving to Tiers 2 and 3 support, as determined by the data and the reliability of the data.

LD研究, 29(1) 45-56, Feb, 2020 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding authorThe reliability and validity of the mathematics curriculum-based measurement (M-CBM) were investigated in Japanese elementary school students. Elementary school students from grade 1-6 participated in study 1. The classroom teachers administered M-CBM three times at the end of each term and mathematics achievement test (Norm-Referenced Test in mathematics: Tatsuno et al., 2009) at the end of the third term. Results demonstrated that the scores of M-CBM increased across time, and the M-CBM scores significantly correlated with mathematics achievement test score. These results suggest that the M-CBM is sensitive to change, and has high concurrent, and predictive validity. In study 2, the author examined the test-retest reliability (one week) and the alternate form reliability of the M-CBM in elementary school students. Results indicated that the test-retest reliability and the alternate form reliability were sufficiently high. It is concluded that the M-CBM can be used with Japanese elementary school students as a screening and progress monitoring tool.

Journal of Health Psychology Research, 31(1) 31-41, Aug 1, 2018 Peer-reviewed<p>Bullying is a major problem in schools. Many studies conducted in the U.S. and Europe have indicated relationships between parenting behaviors and bullying and peer victimization. However, only a few studies in Japan have investigated these relationships. Therefore, the study examined associations between parenting behaviors and experiences of bullying and victimization in all elementary and junior-high schools students in a suburban Japanese city. Parents assessed their parenting behaviors and the degree of their children's experience of bullying behaviors or victimization in the last year using parent-reported measures. Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that parental involvement and monitoring was associated with experiences of victimization at school. Furthermore, negative parenting behaviors, especially rigid discipline, was related to all experiences of bullying, including the bully, the victim, and the bully-victim. These findings suggest that the improvement of parenting behaviors could prevent children and adolescents from bullying other students or being victimized at schools.</p>

JJDP, 27(2) 158-166, Jun 20, 2018 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding author<p>The present study investigated the stability of aggression by analyzing five-year longitudinal data of elementary and junior high school students in one suburban Japanese city. Approximately 2,500 students (3rd grade through 9th grade) participated in this study. The latent trait-state model (Cole & Maxwell, 2009) with multiple group analysis was conducted to analyze the five-year three cohort data. The authors measured aggression with the Hostility-Aggression Questionnaire for Children (Sakai et al., 2000). Results showed that the trait-state model was best fitted to aggression, indicating that both the trait factor and an autoregressive occasion factor contributed to the degree of aggression. The data also indicated that the trait component explained the state of aggression moderately well, although there were sex differences for this result. In addition, the effect of the trait component on aggression increased with grade level. This finding suggests that the individual differences in aggression become fixed during late elementary school and junior high school.</p>

The Annual Report of Educational Psychology in Japan, 57 179-191, 2018 Peer-reviewedInvitedLead authorCorresponding author<p> An increasing number of educational research and practices regarding applied behavior analysis has been conducted in Japanese educational settings. However, few studies have addressed behavioral instruction for academic skills in Japan. This paper presents current applied behavior analytic studies for academic skills instruction. First, a behavior analytic account of academic problems is presented. Second, studies on academic instruction in Japan and the United States during the past decade are reviewed. Third, an instructional model developed through the collaboration with applied behavior analysis such as Direct Instruction and response to intervention are presented. Finally, some issues that should be addressed to facilitate applied behavior analytic studies for academic skills instruction are suggested.</p>

保育学研究, 52(1) 80-89, Aug 31, 2014 Peer-reviewedThis study investigated the effectiveness of the Nursery School Teacher Rating Developmental Scale for Children-Revised Version (NDSC-R) to predict children's adaptation and maladaptation in elementary school. There were two kinds of data available for 783 children in 2 cohort studies: the NDSC-R, completed by nursery school teachers, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), completed by elementary school teachers. The SDQ of the first cohort study (414 children) was conducted in the first grade and the SDQ of the second cohort study (369 children) was conducted in the fourth grade. Multiple linear regression analyses and risk analyses indicated that subscale scores of the NDSC-R were predictive of each subscale scores and the total difficulties score of the SDQ in first grade and fourth grade.

Journal of Special Education Research, 2(2) 71-79, Feb, 2014 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding authorWe examined the impact of three-tiered instruction on multiplication facts for Japanese second-grade public elementary students (N=59). In Tier 1 (about three months), all students received regular classroom instruction from their classroom teachers. We monitored the accuracy and fluency of their performance on multiplication facts. In Tier 2 (about one month), teachers conducted a 10-minute supplemental instruction (flash card practice) (n=17). In Tier 3 (about three weeks), students (n=5) practiced multiplication facts through the "cover-copy-compare" method and a timed trial procedure. We calculated the percentage of correctly answered problems and assessed the number of correct and incorrect problems per minute in 1-minute timed trials. A multiple probe design across instructional materials was used to evaluate the effect of Tier 3 instruction. Fifty-three of the 59 students demonstrated mastery of all multiplication facts during Tier 1 and Tier 2. However, the remaining six students including one who did not complete the study did not master all multiplication facts in Tier 3. Results of this study suggest concrete practical issues that should be addressed in future practical research.

The Japanese Journal of Special Education, 52(4) 287-296, 2014 Peer-reviewedLead authorCorresponding authorThe present study examined the impact of behavioral instruction on 2 second-grade students' fluency with multiplication facts. The participants were public elementary school students who had difficulty in learning multiplication facts. After-school instructional sessions were conducted twice a week. The instructional package consisted of the "Cover-Copy-Compare" method (Skinner, Turco, Beatty, & Rasavage, 1989) and a timed-trial procedure with goal setting and feedback. First, each student learned multiplication facts with the Cover-Copy-Compare method. Then, they practiced them in 30-second timed trials with goal setting and feedback. If they beat their previous score, they received stickers that they liked. The number of correct and incorrect problems in these trials was recorded. A multiple probe design across 3 sets of instructional materials was used to evaluate the impact of the behavioral instruction. The results showed that both students increased their fluency with multiplication facts. However, 1 student's degree of improvement was not adequate, even though the instructional materials were modified for that student. The discussion deals with the need for refining instructional procedures and using other experimental designs.

研究紀要, 2 29-34, Mar 22, 2023type:Article 行動分析学は行動と環境との相互作用という視点で子どもを観察し、より効果的な指導方法を検討しつづける理論からなっている。知的障害があると読みの習得に困難が生じやすいことが予測されるため、より効果的な方法で学ぶことが求められる。しかし個別性の高さや学びにくさがあるため学校現場では読み指導を「いつ、何を、どのように」行えばよいのかを判断することが難しい。行動分析学における刺激等価性という枠組みや文節単位読み手続きを使った読み指導について先行研究を調べたところ、指導の前提としての言語の重要性、苦手部分の迂回学習や指導時間の短縮ができること、複数の刺激を効果的なタイミングや場所や時間で正確に提示できるICT 活用の有効性などが示されていた。また指導の途中でも子どもの反応に応じて介入方法を変更することや、単に特定の文字が読めるだけでなく読み方の方略を学ぶことで般化が促されることも示されていた。先行研究では学童期の子どもが研究対象となっていることが多かったため、中学部、高等部段階での指導効果について今後検討したい。

教育実践研究, 16 1-12, 2022 Lead authortype:Article 本研究の目的は、公立小学校において学校規模ポジティブ行動支援(SWPBS)第1 層支援を実施し、その効果および社会的妥当性を検討することであった。介入手続きとしては、まず、全教職員が協議してポジティブ行動マトリクスを作成し、その中から挨拶行動と話を聞く行動を目標行動とした。次に、各目標行動に対する行動支援計画を作成し実行した。AB デザインによって介入効果を検証した結果、学年毎の効果の違いはあるものの、全体として各目標行動が増加した。また、社会的妥当性に関する質問紙調査の結果、目標行動・手続き・介入効果について一定の妥当性が示された。今後の課題として、より厳密な研究デザインによる効果検証や実行度データの収集、簡便な行動観察方法の開発等が示された。 The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect and social validity of the Tier 1 intervention within the framework of the school-wide positive behavior support(SWPBS)in a Japanese public elementary school. A public elementary school implemented SWPBS for two years in collaboration with an external consultant. As a Tier 1 intervention, school teachers developed a behavior matrix and selected the target behaviors(greeting behavior for first year, and listening behavior for second year). Then, they developed and implemented each behavior support plan. A single- case AB design was used to evaluate the effect of the Tier 1 intervention on each target behavior. The homeroom teachers observed the students' greeting behavior in their class and support staffs observed listening behavior during class. Results showed that greeting behavior and listening behavior were increased and maintained, although there were differences in the effect by grade level. In addition, homeroom teachers rated the social validity of the Tier 1 intervention(target behaviors, procedures, and intervention effects) as highly acceptable. Implications for future research were discussed, including the verification of the reliability of behavioral data, use of more rigorous research design to evaluate the intervention effect, measuring fidelity of the procedure, and the development of a simple behavioral observation method.
