Abstract

This study aims at identifying the effect of Token Reinforcement for the competing sub-groups in reducing the unaware behavior during classes ’ for a 3rd primary class sample. For this reason, a (73), sample divided into two classes was chosen. Baseline of the Distraction for each group was I measured by observers. They observe every unaware behavior done by e every student in the class. After training the observers and taking the measures with the principal and the class teacher. A pre-test was conducted on two consecutive days in ‘8 contact hours, showed a balance between the two groups in terms of the number of unaware behavior for each group. The treatment was applied on one group while the other was a control group through the division of the experimental group into three sub- groups. Moreover, the students were briefed of the Token Reinforcement that will followed the set of conditions of the good behavior and the re- wards for each group The application lasted two academic weeks. After that, the Post-Test was conducted for the control and experimental groups for two days by using the steps of the Pre-Test, statistical analysis showed significant differences in favor of the experimental group which can be attributed to the Token Reinforcement. Regarding the differences between the two sexes in the effect of the Token Reinforcement, results showed by using (T) that there are no indicative, differences, that may be attributed to the gender factor.
