HOPS Study: A Conceptual Replication
Evaluation of Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills (HOPS) Program: A Conceptual Replication
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Organization, time management, and planning (OTMP) skills are associated with academic performance. A randomized controlled trial found that the Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills (HOPS) intervention was effective in improving student organization skills and homework performance, with moderate to large effect sizes. HOPS is a 16-session skills training program, provided individually to students in grades 6 through 8 who have OTMP skills deficits that contribute to academic difficulties. Two parent consultations and one teacher consultation promote generalization and maintenance of effects. The current study is a conceptual replication of the previous HOPS study, conducted by an independent evaluation team. The intervention will be delivered under routine practice conditions, with school staff serving as interventionists. The study will examine how fidelity, engagement, and working alliance are related to outcomes, and it will explore the extent to which school organization factors moderate outcomes. Across 30 schools in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Investigators will recruit a total of 240 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students with OTMP deficits. Parents and teachers provide data about the students. School counselors, Principals, and an Individualized Education Plan (IEP)/504 Plan Case Manager may provide data about the organizational context of the schools. The intervention is provided individually to students by a member of the school staff or a member of the research team.
Using a cluster randomized design, Investigators will randomize schools to HOPS or Treatment as Usual - Wait List (TAU-WL), ratio of 2:1. In HOPS schools, students will be randomly assigned to receive intervention by school providers (HOPS-ST) or by research team providers (HOPS-RT). Outcomes will be assessed at Baseline and Post-Treatment period for all students, at 5 school months after Baseline assessment for all students in the HOPS condition, and at 12 calendar months after Baseline for students who are in the HOPS condition and who stay in the same school into the following academic year. Participants in TAU-WL will receive HOPS following Post-Treatment data collection. Participants in TAU-WL will be evaluated again a third time with an abridged battery after they receive HOPS.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
STUDENTS
- Male or female students in grades 6 through 8.
- Student is in a general education classroom.
- Student is nominated for the study by at least one teacher(s) who rates the student as needing the intervention and having OTMP skills deficits that have a negative impact on academic performance (rating > 3 on a 4-point scale on at least one of four interference items of COSS-T)
- Parental/guardian permission (informed consent) and student assent.
PARENTS
1. The parent/legal guardian's child is eligible for the study
SCHOOL PROVIDERS
1. School providers will be chosen by school administrators as personnel who are capable of delivering the HOPS intervention (HOPS-ST) in the school context.
RESEARCH PROVIDER
- A person with experience providing instruction or intervention to students in a school context.

- Has consented to be a "secondary research participant"
Exclusion Criteria:
STUDENTS
- Students will be excluded if they are in a pull-out special education classroom for more than 50% of the day, because the organizational demands for these students may differ from those placed mostly in general education.
- Students with a one-to-one aide will be excluded because the presence of an aide substantially alters how an organizational intervention is implemented.
- Students from families in which both caregivers do not speak English will be excluded because the program has not yet been developed for non-English speakers.
- Students who may have participated in HOPS before (as it is a commercially-available program) is not eligible to participate in this study.
PARENTS
- Parents who are not fluent in English are excluded since at this time because the intervention and many of the study outcome measures are not available in other languages.
SCHOOL PROVIDERS
1. Any school professional who declines to participate will not be enrolled.
RESEARCH PROVIDERS
1. Does not consent to be a "secondary research participant"

Other: Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills (HOPS)
The Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills (HOPS) intervention is delivered through a series of 16 frequent but brief sessions between the HOPS provider and student.
The HOPS intervention will be delivered by either a member of the school team (HOPS-ST), referred to as a "school provider", or a member of the research team (HOPS-RT), referred to as a "research provider".
Each session is approximately 20 minutes.
The three main skill areas covered as part of the program are: (1) school materials organization, (2) homework management and (3) time management and planning.
A reward system is utilized in effort to change behavior patterns by making rewards available when a student engages in productive organizing and planning behaviors.
The intervention also includes two parent meetings and one teacher meeting.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Student Functioning at Home
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 Months after Baseline, 5 Months after Baseline, 12 Months after Baseline
|
The Children's Organizational Skills Scale - Parent version (COSS-P) will be used to assess changes in OTMP functioning at home.
COSS-P total scores have good discriminant validity and are sensitive to treatment effects.
The COSS-P uses a 4-point rating scale (1=Hardly ever or never to 4=Just about all of the time).
The COSS-P yields three subscale scores: Materials Management, Organized Actions, and Task Planning.
Minimum scores for each subscale and the Total score are 40 and maximum scores are 90, with higher scores representing more impairment.
The COSS-P will be used primarily as an outcome measure.
In addition, Investigators will examine whether severity of organization problems, as measured by Baseline COSS-P scores, moderates the effect of treatment on academic outcomes.

Change in Student Functioning at School
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 Months after Baseline, 5 Months after Baseline, 12 Months after Baseline
|
The Children's Organizational Skills Scale - Teacher version (COSS-T) will be used to assess changes in OTMP functioning at school.
COSS total scores have good discriminant validity and are sensitive to treatment effects.
The COSS-T uses a 4-point rating scale (1=Hardly ever or never to 4=Just about all of the time).
The COSS-T yields three subscale scores: Materials Management, Organized Actions, and Task Planning.
Minimum scores for each subscale and the Total score are 40 and maximum scores are 90, with higher scores representing more impairment.
The COSS-T will be used primarily as an outcome measure.
In addition, Investigators will examine whether severity of organization problems, as measured by Baseline COSS-T scores, moderates the effect of treatment on academic outcomes.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Student Proficiency in Academic Subject Areas
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 Months after Baseline, 5 Months after Baseline, 12 Months after Baseline
|
The Academic Progress Report (APR) is a teacher-report measure that assesses proficiency in up to six academic subjects relative to standard expectations (1=Well below standard expected at this time of year; 3=At standard; 5=Well above standard).
The sum of ratings across six academic subjects is the unit of analysis.
The minimum score is 1 and the maximum score is 5, with higher scores indicating higher functioning.
Reliability is acceptable (alpha = .84),
and this measure is sensitive to treatment effects for an elementary school organizational skills training intervention.
For each participating student, Investigators will obtain teacher ratings on the APR from two of the student's academic teachers to attempt to capture the student's academic performance in a standardized fashion.

Change in Student Academic Grades
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 Months after Baseline, 5 Months after Baseline, 12 Months after Baseline
|
Investigators will obtain report card grades for the academic year prior to student enrollment, the academic year of student enrollment, and the academic year following student enrollment for all participating students.
Investigators will calculate students' grade point average based on report card grades.

Change in Student Homework Performance at Home
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 Months after Baseline, 5 Months after Baseline, 12 Months after Baseline
|
The Homework Problem Checklist (HPC) is a 20-item parent-report measure that assesses student homework performance.
Factor analyses conducted by Power and Langberg et al., have indicated that the HPC has two distinct factors: Homework Completion and Homework Materials Management.
Scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 60, with higher scores representing higher impairment.
The HPC has been shown to be sensitive to the effects of interventions to improve student homework and organization skills.
|
Baseline, 3 Months after Baseline, 5 Months after Baseline, 12 Months after Baseline
|
Change in Student Homework Competence at School
Time Frame: Baseline, 3 Months after Baseline, 5 Months after Baseline, 12 Months after Baseline
|
The Homework Performance Questionnaire - Teacher Revised Version (HPQ-T) assesses students' homework behavior during the past 4 weeks.
Each item is rated on a 7-point scale indicating how often each behavior occurs (never or rarely = 0% to 10% of time; almost always/always = 91% to 100% of time).
The 17-item General factor that assesses overall homework competence, which has strong psychometric properties, will be used in the analyses.
This score is generated by averaging the scores of items 9-25, with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 6.
Higher scores indicate higher functioning.
