The Color Wheel System (CWS), a class-wide, rule-based behavioral management strategy, is a successful intervention to reduce off-task behaviors for elementary school students. However, this intervention has rarely been investigated in the middle school setting. The current study implemented the CWS within three sixth-grade general education inclusionary classrooms in a middle school in the United States. A multiple-baseline across classrooms design evaluated the effects of the CWS on class-wide inappropriate vocalizations. Partial-interval time-sampling recorded intervals when any student in the class displayed inappropriate vocalizations. Visual analysis of time-series graphs and effect size measures indicated that the CWS created large, immediate, and sustained decreases in inappropriate vocalizations across all classrooms. Implications for using the CWS as a class-wide behavioral management strategy within the middle school setting and directions for future research are discussed.

在包容性中学环境中实施色轮系统


色轮系统 （CWS） 是一种全班范围的、基于规则的行为管理策略，是一种成功的干预措施，可以减少小学生的不任务行为。然而，这种干预很少在中学环境中进行调查。目前的研究在美国一所中学的三个六年级普通教育包容性教室中实施了 CWS。跨教室设计的多基线评估了 CWS 对全班不适当发声的影响。部分间隔时间采样记录了班上任何学生表现出不适当发声时的间隔。对时间序列图和效应大小测量的视觉分析表明，CWS 在所有教室中创造了大量、即时和持续的不适当发声减少。讨论了在中学环境中使用 CWS 作为全班行为管理策略的影响以及未来研究的方向。
