Behaviors in Educational Settings

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Human behaviors in educational settings have great applications in different aspects of learning and teaching, such as how a teacher remains interested in teaching and how a learner engages in challenging behaviors during learning. This Special Issue welcomes original research, reviews of the disciplines, conceptual and theoretical work, applied research, translational research, program development, or curriculum developments that focus on human behaviors in the contexts of any educational setting. Areas of interests include but are not limited to human behaviors related to learning and teaching, social behaviors, applied and translational behavior analysis, behavioral therapy, behavioral consultation, experimental behavioral analysis, clinical behavioral analysis, behavioral training, behavioral intervention, professional training, and incidental teaching with a focus on behavioral changes in educational settings. In light of these premises, this Special Issue aims at advancing the literature on human behaviors in educational settings from diverse perspectives. We therefore welcome theoretical and/or empirical contributions that broaden knowledge on the topic.
