It utilities several different<br \/>\napproaches to recognizing the mentality and logistics behind the particular behavior of<br \/>\nstudents.<\/p>\n<p>The behavior of an individual serves an essential purpose as it determines their attitude<br \/>\ntowards certain things in life. Generally, the family, peers and societal influence impacts the<br \/>\nconduct of an individual. By analyzing the emotional state and perception of an individual,<br \/>\nthe actions and attitude of that person can be changed and improved to be better. Functional<br \/>\nBehavior Assessment helps in finding out the reasons behind the conduct of the students and<br \/>\nalso provides the necessary solutions to enhance this demeanor.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: blue\">Why do we need FBA?<\/h2>\n<p>The general attitude of a person is responsible for his\/ her actions. A good and positive<br \/>\nattitude would always result in positive behavior, which will naturally yield good results in<br \/>\nevery sector.<\/p>\n<p>Let us try to understand this through an example. Chloe is a timid and introverted girl in the<br \/>\nclassroom. She is socially awkward and prefers to stay low-profile in her own space. She gets<br \/>\nnervous in the company of others and usually has a hard time in social interactions. Chloe is<br \/>\ngood in studies and is also talented in arts and crafts. Besides these, Chloe usually avoids<br \/>\ngetting involved in several types of social activities like debates, elocution, narration,<br \/>\ndramatics, singing, dancing etc. She has a hard time coping up in the classroom environment<br \/>\nand in she recently broke down during the dramatics audition when the teacher reprimanded<br \/>\nher for speaking inaudibly. So what is causing Chloe to act this way? What are the reasons<br \/>\nbehind such behavior of Chloe?<\/p>\n<p>It turns out Chloe is suffering from a significant inferiority complex as she stammers slightly.<br \/>\nShe is scared of being a source of ridicule and thus prefers to maintain a distance from other<br \/>\npeople. In activities like studying and drawing, she does not need to speak to or interact with<br \/>\nother students and hence can perform well, being in her safe zone.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if this problem of Chloe would have been recognized before-hand, help would have<br \/>\nbeen provided adequately. Practice and different practical approach of communication could<br \/>\nhave been established aiding Chloe to adjust in her social life.<br \/>\nHence, FBA is necessary to help such students who are facing a life crisis due to specific<br \/>\nreasons.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: blue\">How to Implement FBA in Schools?<\/h3>\n<p>An FBA professional or a behavior psychologist can be employed to carry this task in the<br \/>\nschools. Other than that, teachers, administrators and other faculty members, including some<br \/>\nresponsible students, can help in effectively implementing the FBA procedure in the schools.<br \/>\nParents should also be furnished with its basic ideas and concepts behind FBA to monitor the<br \/>\nbehavior of their wards.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few steps for the implementation of Functional Behavior Assessment:-<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: blue\">1) Explain the Behavior<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The FBA team should be very subjective in defining the behavior of the students. Rather<br \/>\nthan saying that the student is careless or distraction, you should mention the incidents that<br \/>\nhave caused the disturbance or the negative impact. Explain the event along with details and<br \/>\nalso offer an alternative solution. Suppose a student does not produce their work on time and<br \/>\nusually implies only half efforts in the conduction of any task. In this case, instead of saying<br \/>\nthe student is careless, please point out the mistakes and flaws in their assignments and urge<br \/>\nthem to work harder.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: blue\">2) Gather Information<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Once the behavior has been explained and identified, works towards investigating the<br \/>\npossible reasons that led to such actions. Ask the necessary questions like:-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Under what circumstances such is the behavior prevalent?<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0What is the surrounding atmosphere and influence?<\/li>\n<li>What events lead to these actions?<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0What happens before and after the incident?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: blue\">3) Provide the Solutions<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The next step should be of providing the required solutions to minimize the negative<br \/>\nbehavior. Individual measures need to be implemented for every student, and a properly<br \/>\nplanned approach is necessary to be taken. Counselling, psychological assessments and<br \/>\nguidance are a few ways that can be provided to the students to improvise their thinking<br \/>\nabilities and the general perception.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: blue\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>In the boarding schools, an FBA team can significantly help the students to overcome the<br \/>\nvarious problems in the absence of parental guidance and support. The faculties should<br \/>\nprovide individual attention to the students in a residential school to ensure their positive<br \/>\ngrowth process. A student forms a distinctive and positive behavior in the boarding school<br \/>\nenvironment and learns the difference between the positive and negative actions and their<br \/>\nconsequences.<\/p>\n<p>FBA should compose an essential part of the education and schooling curriculum as it helps<br \/>\nthe students in improvising the over-all personality of the students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is FBA?
