1 Running head: ABA AND AUTISM 1 Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and Common Mistakes When You Write A Literature Review Insert Running head using the Insert page numbers of your word program. o A shorten title with Page number should be in times New roman with 12 font for the ENTIRE paper Although writing only in short, simple sentences produces choppy and boring prose, writing exclusively in long, involved sentences creates difficult, sometimes incomprehensible material. Varied sentence length helps readers maintain interest and comprehension. Direct, declarative sentences with simple, common words are usually best. Single paragraphs are abrupt. Paragraphs that are too long are likely to lose the reader s attention. Do not use emotional words., e.gs, felt Spell it out when you use the acronym first time in your paper with ( ) o NLS?, National Literacy Strategy (NLS?, Riley, 2001) In References section, for two authors, you should put a comma before &. Always a comma right before & the last author. References: Smith, R. J., & Jones, F. R. (2004). In Text: I love you (Smith & Jones, 2004). Smith and Jones reported that When you list something, put comma right before the last word When you talk about authors outside of () in the main text, you should NOT use & Put a comma between author and year (Carter, 2006). You should not sound overly enthusiastic, be objective.

2 Running head: ABA AND AUTISM 2 o Do not use overwhelming(ly) unless somebody said it. In this case, you have to cite him or her. The purpose of this study is to show the overwhelming need for the creation and institution of prevention and intervention programming Background information or definitions should be before main literature review section. o Before you talk about ABA, you should talk about what these are first so that the readers know what kind of programs or strategies (what are some special characteristics of ABA and eclectic interventions? what do they include? etc. ) you want to discuss in your study. And then you can talk about your purpose. Otherwise, the readers do not have any idea of your purpose at all. Kim et al. do not have comma right after Kim Try to make sub-headings and organize writing reviews related to each sub-heading References should be in a separate page all the time. And double-spaced. Use hanging. At the end of the justification section, you should connect the importance of YOUR study to the importance of whatever you wrote above. E.g., Therefore, examining effectiveness of programs in preventing drug use and reducing the consequences of drug use will help~ Inside a parenthesis, alphabetical order. IQ & GPA do not need spelling While vs Whereas; Since vs. because; No she or he Your References section should be in a separate page all the time by inserting Page Break o Use Page Break between the title page and the introduction section. Try not to use first-person, e.g., I, we, etc. But later for?

3 Running head: ABA AND AUTISM 3 Indent the beginning of each paragraph. The entire paper should be double-spaced including the references section. Between different references, you should not put any extra spaces. Is this a Doctoral dissertation abstracted in Dissertation Abstracts International (DAI) and obtained from the university? Do not to use ED or conference presentation paper. o you need month only when you use a paper that has been presented in a conference). You do not need issue numbers since one volume has these many page numbers. There is little possibility for the journal to start with a page number one for each different issue of each volume of the journal. o Journal Name & Volume number should be italicized o No space between a volume number and an issue number. Be consistent when you use certain phrases: o These are inconsistent: spiritual and religious integration in therapy and incorporating religion and/or spirituality into therapy Do not capitalize each letter of the words for a title. Only the first letter of the first word. Make section more concise o Some of them say similar results, you can combine the similar results from different studies together. The purpose of this study, not paper; this study or the present study?

4 Running head: ABA AND AUTISM 4 As cited by McDonald and Thompson (2007), Klein and Keller (1990) reported: You cannot do this. You have to find the original Klein and Keller (1990), and then cite, Klein and Keller (1990) found If you want to quote, you need to put a page number. This is a scientific paper. You cannot say this. I chose this topic because I have been teaching in an inclusion setting for several years and have wondered about the effects of inclusion on the regular education students. In a study by Larry Daniel and Debra King (2001) parents of RES expressed a higher degree of concern: Daniel and King (2001) reported Make it simple and make it either past tense or present perfect tense for literature review. However, findings are present o Kim (2005) found that there is a relationship between creativity and intelligence (2005). it is not unreasonable this to liken counseling to an advanced, interpersonal problemsolving process Creativity is measured by score on the Abbreviated Torrance Test for Adults (ATTA, Goff & Torrance, 2002). Book names should not be capitalized. Title, purpose, research question, and hypothesis of the study must match. You should focus more on the section that is directly related to your research question (Have you found some more studies for this section?) Thus, you have to make the other sections more concise so that you can write more about the main section.

5 Running head: ABA AND AUTISM 5 You have to think about whether you use one group of people or two groups of people; whether you administer the tests once or twice, and when you want to administer before or after the intervention? More importantly, you want to examine whether the intervention is effective; or you want to compare between less and more creative people; or you want to explore there is a relationship between level of creativity and level of moral development; or you want to find a difference in the effectiveness of the intervention between less and more creative people, etc. What do you want to do? A research study by Robert Marzano found higher rates of teachers confidence in the use of technology correlated with higher percentile gain in student achievement. Student achievement appears to improve when teachers are confident in the use of technology to augment their classroom instructional practices (Marzano, 2009). o Marzano (year?) a positive relationship between teachers confidence in the use of technology and student achievement. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the use of interactive white boards (IWB) and student response systems (SRS) in the classroom. Specifically, the study will see if student achievement on standardized assessments increases with the use of these two technologies. o You have to make everything concise and simple. o The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the use of IWB and SRS in student achievement on standardized assessments. Hypothesis: The policies of England in literacy assessment are more effective in preparing students to compete globally than those of the U.S.

6 Running head: ABA AND AUTISM 6 o For your literature review, you are supposed to talk about what strengths England Reading policy has so that it can lead to your hypothesis. Smith and Hardman (2000) found a negative correlation between socioeconomic levels (SES) and test scores. Luyten et al. (2009) found similar results. o If they found similar results and you do not talk about their study again, then just combine the two studies together. o ~~ test scores (Luyten et al., 2009; Smith & Hardman, 2000). All of the four below must match. They do not match. 1. Title: Determining the Effect of the Use of Interactive Whiteboards with Student Response Systems in the Classroom on Student Achievement. 2. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the use of IWB and SRS in student achievement on standardized assessments. 3. Research question. After reviewing the literature, the following research question is proposed: How do the instructional methods in which interactive whiteboards with student response systems used in the classroom affect the degree of student achievement? 4. Hypothesis. The hypothesis of this study is that teachers utilizing the best educational practices with the use of both IWB and SRS will have a greater increase in student achievement on state standardized assessments. Where are definitions?
