Six students who frequently exhibited behaviors such as checking their phones, leaving the classroom, and engaging in non-academic interactions were the subjects of the study. Initial analysis revealed that the main contributing factors were difficult material, long lecture duration, easy access to mobile phones, and social disturbances. Combined behavior modification techniques including behavioral contracts, forward chaining, reinforcement, and punishment were employed. The results of this study are expected to contribute to improving student focus and academic performance.</span></p> Avlyn B. R. Kawi Ifandry M. W. Ndu Ufi Joana Jafelyn Ndaumanu Keyzha N.
