Using Evidence-based Behaviorist Instructional Strategies with Effect Size in Inclusive Elementary Schools in Kuwait

The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of evidence-based behaviorist instructional strategies with effect size in the education of students with special needs from inservice special education teachers' point of views in Kuwait's public inclusive elementary schools. A developed questionnaire included some variables (i.e. nationality, age, marital status, education qualification, teaching experience, direct instruction, functional behavioral analysis, and assessment, evaluation and feedback) to assess 120 inservice special education female teachers' point of views that randomly selected. Results revealed significant differences found in the education qualification variable only. Some recommendations provided for a further research in future on other instructional strategies that are evidence-based and have effect sizes related to improving the learning and achievement of students with special needs in inclusive elementary schools, a professional development to inservice special education teachers, and teacher education programs in Kuwait.
