Implementing a Group Contingency Behavior-management System in Physical Education

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Behavior management issues may impede learning in physical education (PE), yet there is a paucity of evidence-based behavior-management programs studied in the PE environment to assist PE teachers to be better prepared to handle these issues. Classwide-function intervention teams (CW-FIT) is a group contingency procedure for managing student behavior. This article provides guidelines for implementing CW-FIT in physical education, presenting the components of the procedure in five steps: (1) preparation, (2) introducing the game, (3) implementation, (4) closing the lesson, and (5) assessing CW-FIT. Step-by-step directions to support teachers are also included.
