Variations of the Self-Monitoring Diary

Variation 1. Pages 2 and 3 can be collapsed into one page as illustrated in Figure 5.12.

Figure 5.12 Variation 1 Variation 2. Page 2 can be couched in specific goal theory terms as illustrated in Figure 5.13.

Figure 5.13 Variation 2 Variation 3. Page 3 can be very functional in terms of the semantics, and simple (a dichotomous rating) in terms of recording, as illustrated in Figure 5.14.

Figure 5.14 Variation 3 Variation 4. Page 5 – the monitoring protocol – should be presented as attractively as possible and laid out so that the data is easily assessed, i.e. on inspecting the data a person should not have to ask ‘What does this mean?’

If the self assessment is dichotomous, i.e. ‘Yes, I did’ or ‘No, I did not’, then page 5 could take a number of forms. Two such forms are illustrated in Figures 5.15 and 5.16.

Figure 5.15 Variation 4 Figure 5.16 Variation 5 The premise on which this self-monitoring practice is based is that the pupil wants to improve his or her behaviour: the teacher’s role is that of facilitator. However a number of outcomes can result from the exercise.

(i) The pupil fails to self-monitor: in this case it may be suggested to the pupil that conjoint teacher–pupil monitoring will help him or her to realise the commitment to self-monitor (see next section).

(ii) The pupil self-monitors but no behaviour change ensues: in this case address the following questions.

(a) Has the pupil the academic skills to achieve the target behaviour?

(b) Has the pupil the social skills to achieve the target behaviour?

(c) Does the pupil know how to apply the above skills?

(d) Does the pupil know when to apply the above skills?

(e) Does the pupil know when he or she has successfully applied the above skills (i.e. do they receive feedback)?

(f) Does the pupil have the necessary directions and instructions to follow?
