Teaching Graduate Students to Identify and Adhere to Practicum Requirements.

A critical component of becoming eligible to sit for the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) exam is the completion of fieldwork experience hours according to the BACB Experience Standards (2018). The accrual of experience hours must meet stringent criteria and is strongly recommended to be documented using the BACB Fieldwork Tracker. Thirteen graduate students in behavior analysis were taught to enter data into the BACB Fieldwork Tracker using mock fieldwork scenarios. Training was conducted using group behavioral skills training. The training occurred remotely using both synchronous and asynchronous components. Of the 13 participants, 11 showed improvement from baseline, and 10 met and maintained performance at mastery levels at the end of the study. Social validity scores indicated that most participants felt the training was helpful, and they reported lower levels of fieldwork accrual-related stress following training (81.8% and 72.7%, respectively). Limitations and areas for future research are discussed. © Association for Behavior Analysis International 2021.
