An Examination of the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Detect, Practice, and Repair versus Traditional Cover, Copy, and Compare Procedures: A Component Analysis
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: This study compared the effects of the Detect, Practice, and Repair (DPR) intervention package versus traditional Cover, Copy, and Compare (CCC) procedures in increasing multiplication math fact accuracy and fluency using an alternating treatments design with a modified control condition.Interventions were administered one-on-one across 4 fourth grade students.Three mutually exclusive multiplication sets were used with one set being assigned to each condition.Effectiveness was assessed through traditional curriculum-based measurement (CBM) procedures and through flashcard card procedures to measure accuracy.In addition, the efficiency of each intervention (i.e., amount of learning per instructional minute) was calculated.Maintenance data were collected to determine if newly learned math facts would be better maintained when taught with the DPR intervention or with the traditional CCC intervention procedures.Social validity data were collected with teachers and students to determine whether one intervention was preferred over another.Although DPR has been examined in five published research studies, it has never been examined through a one-on-one implementation or in a study directly comparing its effectiveness, efficiency, maintenance, and social validity against another intervention.In addition, this study serves as a component analysis since CCC is one component of the DPR package.iii This degree and dissertation would not have been possible without the love and support of many friends, family, and mentors.First and foremost, I must acknowledge my wonderful husband, Scott Rahschulte.This dissertation research and manuscript would not have been feasible without his investment of time, encouragement, and extra parenting.My children (Madison and Ethan) have been incredibly inspirational, as they are full of energy, positivity, and a surprising about of purpose and drive in life endeavors despite their young age.In addition, I would like to thank my dissertation chair and doctoral advisor, Dr. Julie Morrison.Not only was she invaluable as it relates to this manuscript, but she was incredibly impactful throughout my entire educational journey.Thank you for being a wonderful mentor
