| Abstract: Many college classrooms utilize traditional lecture which requires students to learn by listening and taking notes, and courses where the principles of behavior and applied behavior analysis are taught are no exception. To bridge the gap between the lack of engagement in traditional lecture and the need for college students to understand and apply conceptual knowledge, behavioral college teaching methods have been designed. Two of these methods Interteaching (Boyce & Hineline, 2002) and Active Student Responding (e.g. Response Cards; Shabani & Carr, 2004) have been used to ensure that students have an opportunity to engage with content and apply theoretical and conceptual skills using low stakes assessment and peer learning opportunities. This presentation reviews data from two sections of an undergraduate applied behavior analysis course comparing the effectiveness and social validity of instruction comparing response cards and Interteaching on quiz scores for quizzes comprised of short answer and multiple-choice questions. Data from 33 undergraduate students including social validity surveys, alternating treatment designs, and a regression analysis of scores will be presented. |

| Target Audience: Attendees, should have advanced knowledge of single subject and research design, as well as basic knowledge of statistical analysis (e.g., understand significant effects) |
| Learning Objectives: Participants will be able to describe the application of two behavioral teaching methods (i.e., interteaching, response cards) with undergraduate students.
Participants will compare the effectiveness of behavioral teaching methods.
Participants will compare the social validity and preference for the methods used. |
