Class Dojo

Our project was to find out if the classroom behavioral tracking system, ClassDojo, is a successful classroom management tool. Over the semester we have collected a wide amount of data through observations, interviews, online sources, and personal encounters. Classroom incentives are used as a tool for teachers to get the desired behavior through a positive exchange. Jones states that, “Incentives or reinforcers produce work.” They assist in motivating students and answering the question, “Why should I?” (Jones, 2000.) Teachers use a variety of different incentive systems and now ClassDojo has become utilized. With ClassDojo, teachers give students points to reinforce positive behavior and take points away in order to suppress negative behavior. Our findings showed that the behavioral tracking system, ClassDojo, proves to be a positive incentive system that improves student behavior in the classroom.

How You Doin’

A case study was conducted to determine how an elementary aged student is developing in five developmental domains, cognitive, physical, identity, social, and moral development. The individual that took part in this study is Scarlet Maganous, who is currently ten years old attending a local elementary school in Eugene. This case study was conducted in the first three months of fall semester 2015. The methods used for data collection included observations, interviews, and formal assessments. The data collected suggest that Scarlet has healthy development in all five domains. Since she is developing at healthy levels in every domain, there are not any areas that need serious improvement. However, I have created some suggestions in each domain for Scarlet to take into consideration if she wants to continue to maintain positive developmental growth.
