The tootling intervention involved students monitoring and reporting their peers’ prosocial behaviours, which was used with an interdependent group contingency. The current study used a series of AB designs to evaluate the effects on three teacher-nominated students from primary and middle-block classrooms separately. The study also investigated the effects of tootling on teacher praise statements with participant teachers from primary and middle-block classrooms. Target students were nominated for the study as they were thought to be at risk for emotional and behavioural disorders (EBD). Students were randomly picked from the rest of the class during data collection for the comparison group. Participant teachers included the classroom teachers present in class. An increase in academically engaged behaviour (AEB) was found across all three target students in the middle-block classroom and found in two out of three students in the primary-block classroom. An increase in praise statements from the middle block participant teacher was also found. Incidentally, the tootling intervention was integrated with MANA values practised in both classes; as a result, it was accepted as socially valid by the teachers and students. Discussion focuses on limitations due to Covid-19 restrictions and direction for future research.application/pdfenAll items in Research Commons are provided for private study and research purposes and are protected by copyright with all rights reserved unless otherwise indicated.TootlingPeer-mediated interventionInclusive classABAEBDMANAPB4LAcademically engaged behaviourTeacher praiseInterdependent group contingencyCultural responsivenessSocial validityClassroom management -- New Zealand -- Psychological aspectsSchool psychology -- New ZealandPrimary school teaching -- New Zealand -- Psychological aspectsLearning, Psychology ofBehavior modificationPrimary school teachers -- New Zealand -- PsychologySchool children -- New Zealand -- PsychologyInclusive education -- New Zealand -- Psychological aspectsBehavior disorders in children -- New Zealand -- Psychological aspectsEmotional problems of children -- New Zealand -- Psychological aspectsAdjustment disorders in children -- New Zealand -- Psychological aspectsThesis2022-10-03
