Abstract.EFFECTS OF COOPERATIVE LEARNING AND BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION STRATEGIES IN ETHNIC MINORITY STUDENTS.The present work is a practical experience carried out in the first level of the first cycle of secondary education institutions. I’ve done it during the third assessment period, alter, having observed in the support classroom the presence of certain levels of inappropriate behaviour in the period between January and March (2nd term). We want to emphasize in my work the importance of the identification by the teacher and the group of students who are part of the sample of this study of perceived as maladaptive behaviour in the classroom as an essential part of the methodology of this research. This experiment was carried out with a total of 18 students of 1st ESO, 6 of whom showed inappropriate behaviour in the support classroom and ethnic minority were. Following the commitment of parents, teacher and students, it was decided to implement a behaviour modification technique which consisted of conducting cooperatively and jointly and the assessment and identification of the behaviour we thought were more frequent and harmful to the proper functioning of the classroom. From that moment, the students wrote written dailys with the dialogues that usually accompany these behaviours, after that, they performed and discussed them in class. The result of this research has been very successful because the students were involved from the outset in the experience, they had higher levels of engagement in behavioural change and the behaviors dropped within a short period of time thereby improving the academic performance of all students in the 3nd term (assessment period).Keywords: methodology; behaviuor modification; inappropiate attitudes; cooperation; special education.Resumen.El presente trabajo es una experiencia práctica llevada a cabo en el primer nivel del primer ciclo de ESO en un Instituto de Educación Secundaria. Lo hemos realizado durante la tercera evaluación, tras observar en el aula la presencia de ciertos niveles de conductas inadecuadas en el período de enero a marzo (segunda evaluación). Nosotros queremos destacar en nuestro trabajo la importancia de identificar por parte del profesor de aula y del grupo de alumnos que forman parte de la muetra de la investigación la presencia de conductas disruptivas como parte fundamental de nuestro estudio. Este estudio fue llevado a cabo con un total de 18 alumnos de primero de ESO seis de los cuales mostraban conductas desadaptadas y algunos de ellos provenían de minorías étnicas. Con el compromiso de padres, profesores y alumnos decidimos implantar una técnica de modificación de conducta que consistía en la realización de manera cooperativade un listado de las conductas disruptivas más frecuentes en el aula. Desde ese momento los alumnos también escribieron diarios con los diálogos que acompañaban dichas conductas y que impedían el desarrollo normal del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje en el aula. Después de eso ellos leían y debatían estas conductas en clase. El resultado de esta investigación ha sido muy satisfactorio porque los alumnos se involucraron y motivaron con esta experiencia, modificaron sus conductas y mejoraron en un corto perido de tiempo, mejorando con ello también su rendimiento escolar en la tercera evaluación.Palabras clave: metodología, modificación de conducta, actitudes inadecuadas, cooperación y educacion especial
