#18: Why Percent Correct Is Not Good Enough? with Rick Kubina

<p>Using percent correct has become the industry standard in behavior analysis. Dr. Rick Kubina, CentralReach’s Director of Research and Professor of Special Education at The Pennsylvania State University, joins the show today to shed light on a more objective way of looking at data using precision teaching. </p> <p>Though percent correct is useful in coming up with ratios, it is not always the best measure because of the ease with which the results can be manipulated. Precision teaching looks at the numbers objectively, uses visual charts that document the processes, and provides data-driven context to determine whether interventions are effective or not.</p> <p>HIGHLIGHTS</p> <p>02:42 Introduction to Rick Kubina</p> <p>06:45 How percent correct became the industry standard</p> <p>10:49 Why fewer ABA's actually practice precision teaching</p> <p>18:38 When percent correct is the right way to measure</p> <p>27:40 The resistance to precision teaching is rooted in human behavior</p> <p>33:29 How to apply precision teaching charts to your discipline </p> <p>45:31 Information on Standard Celeration Charts you can download and use</p> <p>50:29 How Standard Celeration Charts determine when a goal is mastered </p> <p>GLOSSARY</p> <p>Dead Person Test - A test that says if a dead person cannot do it, then it is behavior, and if a dead person can do it, it is not behavior.</p> <p>Dimensional quantity - Something that has dimensional counts or numbers that tell you its characteristics (height, weight, etc)</p> <p>RESOURCES</p> <p>Join our The ABA and OT Podcast Facebook Group to get access to the following resources:</p> <p>Facebook group link: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/groups/397478901376425'>https://www.facebook.com/groups/397478901376425</a></p> <p>EXTERNAL RESOURCES</p> <p><a href='https://greatnessachieved.com/'>Greatness Achieved Publishing Company</a></p> <p><a href='https://greatnessachieved.com/products/copy-of-reflections-on-precision-teaching-paperback'>Reflections on Precision Teaching
