Decreasing Inappropriate Use of Mobile Devices in Urban High School Classrooms: Comparing an Antecedent Intervention With and Without the Good Behavior Game
Article first published online: March 19, 2018; Issue published: May 1, 2019
Corresponding Author:

As the capabilities of portable technology continue to advance and become more accessible, educators express concern about the impact of the inappropriate use of mobile devices on academic engagement and learning. An alternating treatments design was used to compare the effectiveness of an antecedent (Clear Box) intervention and an interdependent group contingency (Clear Box + Good Behavior Game [GBG]) intervention to typical classroom management techniques (Control) in increasing the academic engagement and decreasing mobile device use of high school students during instruction. The results indicate an increase in academic engagement and a decrease in the inappropriate presence of mobile devices in both classrooms with the implementation of the Clear Box + GBG, as compared with the Clear Box and Control conditions. In addition, teacher and student social validity data suggested that teachers and students viewed the Clear Box + GBG intervention favorably. Discussion focuses on contributions to the current literature, implications for practice, and suggestions for future areas of research.

Police are working with a south suburban high school to determine what happened when a teacher says she saw an inappropriate photo on a student’s phone–but the pupil and his mother say the teacher is covering up for herself at his expense. Natalie Martinez reports.
Police are working with a south suburban high school to determine what happened when a teacher says she saw an inappropriate photo on a student's phone--but the pupil and his mother say the teacher is covering up for herself at his expense.
Perry Tyler says he often stays after class at Eisenhower High School in Blue Island to share sports stories with his English student teacher.
But Friday, he says, things got weird when he opened his phone to a football picture and handed it to her.
He said the teacher began scrolling through his photos without invitation to do so. He only intended for her to see the football picture they were talking about.
"She swiped through my pictures and saw an inappropriate picture," he said.
He says she was taken aback and he apologized.
Perry thought that was the end of it. But he and his mother explained to NBC 5 that was just the beginning. His mother, Chiquita McGhee, says school administration threatened expulsion after the teacher made a complaint a few hours later.
“Our district does not comment on student discipline issues," school officials said in a statement. They said incidents are thoroughly investigated and appropriate consequences are assigned based on information gathered. The teacher could not be reached for comment.
"I feel like they’re trying to defame my son," Chiquita said.
Perry's worried he's missing too much school to keep up his grades, he said.
"I’m seeing new stuff and not knowing what to do with it," he said. "I’m so far behind I can't catch up before we get out next month for the semester."
Chiquita says she wants the incident taken off of her son's record.
Blue Island police say they’re investigating and getting conflicting stories. There’s nothing yet to determine that the student or the teacher did anything criminal, police said.
"I was the one that was violated," Perry argues.
