The Effects of Check in/Check out on Student Removal from the Classroom

Abstract

The purpose of this action research was to determine the impact of the check in-check out behavior intervention on the number of times a student is removed from the classroom due to disruptive behavior. The first approach showed individual students' changes during the three-week period. The second approach used a t-test analysis to determine if there was a significant decrease in student removal from week 1 to week 3. The null hypothesis was that there would be no significant decrease in the amount of times a student on the check in-check out behavior intervention is removed from the classroom. The data showed there were some changes over the three-week period regarding the decrease and/or increase of students being removed from the classroom. Overall, the comparison was not significant enough, there was no significant decrease in student removal over the three-week period when students participated in the check in-check out intervention.
