Implications for the Use of Token Economies in Physical Education: A Literature Review
Mots-clés :
PedagogicalRésumé
Token economies have been shown effective and useful within behaviour analysis and general educational literature. However, despite several recommendations for the use of token reinforcement within physical education and the documented effectiveness of token systems applied in physical activity settings, little research has examined these systems specifically within a physical education context. The following review examines the existing literature that applies token systems in physical activity situations. Based on the findings from these studies, paired with the recommended uses in physical education, it can be concluded that token systems may be a useful tool for physical educators. However, further research needs to be conducted, particularly in physical education settings. This review provides a rationale and an impetus for conducting such research.
Les analyses comportementales et la littérature pédagogique semblent confirmer l'efficacité et l'utilité du recours à un système de gages en éducation physique. Par contre, même si certains ont recommandé l'utilisation d'un tel système pour améliorer les comportements des élèves en éducation physique et démontré son efficacité dans des contextes d'activité physique, peu d'études ont porté sur l'usage du système aux fins particulières des cours d'éducation physique. Cet article passe en revue la littérature sur l'application du système de gages dans des contextes d'activité physique. Quoique les conclusions des études et les usages recommandés confirment l'utilité du système pour les enseignantes et enseignants d'éducation physique, il importe de poursuivre les efforts de recherche, surtout dans des contextes d'éducation physique. La présente étude propose une argumentation en faveur de telles recherches tout en cherchant à donner l'élan nécessaire à la poursuite de ces travaux
