Web-assisted Positive Behavior Support

Abstract

There is a need for an inclusive and functional system that is necessary for developing the expected
positive behaviors in students and meeting all of their educational needs. “Positive Behavior Support” (PBS) is the
system that will meet this necessity. PBS applications play a significant role in decreasing the behavioral disorders
and discipline referrals that occur in schools and increasing the levels of student social skills and of student academic
achievement (Colvin & Fernandez, 2000; Muscott et al., 2004; Nelson, Martella, & Marchand-Martella, 2002;
Warren et al., 2006). The related literature shows that web-assisted positive behavior support systems have been
successfully implemented in the U.S. and some of the other western countries. However, there is not any
comprehensive study or publication in this area in Turkey.
