Abstract

Abstract For Behavior Analysis, the teacher is essential as a programmer and applicator of classroom teaching contingencies. Student’s performance is functionally related to that of the teacher, making important the investment in professional training. Lemov’s taxonomy cataloged teaching techniques based on the behaviors of teachers whose students have excellent academic performance, presenting similarity with the analytic-behavioral perspective. This study aimed to evaluate a training of Lemov’s taxonomy techniques with four primary school teachers. Pre-and post-training records of the occurrences of the techniques in the classroom were carried out, and the techniques “No opt out” and “Stretch it” were trained, using booklets and role-play with feedback. After intervention, there was an increase in the frequency of techniques used to make questions to the students, related to the trained techniques. However, there were few occurrences of “No opt out” and “Stretch it”, used only by half of the participants, indicating partial training effect on the behavior. The need for in situ training, modeling and simplification of training criteria are discussed. (AU)
