Reflection paper 7
Describe a time when you struggled to perform a task at work. What was the job task? Using the PDC-HS, what questions would you have responded to with a no? If you were your supervisor, what would you have changed in your environment in order to help you perform better?
· Identify common errors that supervisors make when intervening on supervisee/trainee performance issues
· Determine which assessment strategy (direct, indirect, historical, or experimental) to use under specific conditions, given a scenario
· Select the appropriate component of training to enhance, given a PDC-HS result
· Determine conditions under which antecedent interventions are most effective, and identify examples of different antecedent strategies
· Identify resource, process, and ergonomic factors that may impact supervisee/trainee performance
· Determine characteristics of effective consequences and barriers faced by supervisees/trainees
· Given a scenario, select the section of the PDC-HS that contains the n typical organizations, it is not uncommon for leaders, managers, and supervisors to blame the employee for any and all variation in their performance. However, as behavior analysts we understand that behavior is directly influenced by the environment in which it occurs, and that using labels and hypothetical constructs does not lead to improvements. This lesson will focus on how behavior analytic supervisors can (and should!) take a functional assessment approach to resolving supervisee/trainee performance issues. Multiple strategies for performance assessment will be reviewed, discussing the utility and prevalence of each. Much focus will be given to the Performance Diagnostic Checklist for Human Services (PDC-HS), a combined informant and direct assessment tool that has repeatedly been validated in the ABA and OBM literature, and the interventions of which are indicated given a PDC-HS result.most likely indicated intervention
