| Advances in Learning and Behavioral Disabilities Emerald Book Chapter: Targets of Self-Monitoring: Productivity, Accuracy, and Attention | Andrew Bruce, John Wills Lloyd and Michael J. Kennedy | Self-monitoring has become one of the most widely employed self-control
procedures in special education for students with learning disabilities and
emotional or behavioral disorders. Although its success has been docu-
mented across age groups, settings, and diverse applications, researchers
have continued to study the question of whether focusing self-monitoring
on certain target behaviors – particularly attention to task or academic
performance – will yield superior outcomes for students. We review 11
available studies that have examined this issue, classifying each study
according to the ways in which the researchers had students monitor their
own behavior. The results show only small differences among the different
methods and indicate a need for teachers to continue exercising profes-
sional judgment in planning the use of self-monitoring. | Behavioral Disabilities
