Book excerpt: Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the effects of self-monitoring (alone and in combination with changing criterion with public posting) and self-evaluation on the written language performance and on-task behavior of elementary students with learning disabilities. The subjects were seven elementary students enrolled in a private school for students with learning disabilities. Throughout the study, students wrote for 10 minutes each session. Self-monitoring procedures for written language performance included having the students count and record the number of words and sentences written. Self-evaluation involved the students evaluating the quantity and quality of their writing as compared to the last session. The changing criterion with public posting condition involved the experimenter and/or student setting goals for the number of words written, then posting these totals in the classroom each day. During all sessions, the experimenter collected data on written language performance, including number of words, sentences, different words, and adjectives written. For three students, the experimenter also collected on-task data each session.
