Faculty–Student Collaboration in the Dissemination of Applied Behavior Analysis-Based Interventions
摘要
Collaboration and dissemination are both encouraged professional activities for behavior analysts, and, often, dissemination becomes a collaborative activity. For a variety of reasons, behavior analytic faculty may choose their students to be their dissemination collaborators. This may happen because the faculty member is the lone person in their specialty, because the students are local to the region and have more expertise and knowledge of the dominant culture, or simply because they want to mentor their students to be effective disseminators. The purposes of this chapter are (a) to provide an overview of a “collaborate to disseminate” model within the field of behavior analysis; (b) present 16 actionable strategies for how faculty and students can bridge theory and practice both inside and outside the classroom, and work together to disseminate information about applied behavior analysis-based interventions across the academic domains of research, teaching, and service; and (c) illustrate these concepts through a series of student–faculty dissemination activities in the United Arab Emirates as a case example.
