The student is noncompliant with the programs

Noncompliance will evidence itself in your data, in several ways.  The most obvious pattern is a flat line at some low level of performance.  The less obvious pattern is wildly variable data.  One day he does 90% of the work, the next day 15% of the work and so on.  These data indicate that he is able to do the work as he scored 90%, but often chooses not to do the work.  This kind of data should tell the teacher that she needs to turn her attention away from the instructional task at hand, and toward the problem of noncompliance.

Potential Remedy

If your wildly variable data reflects student performance, you do not have a data collection problem, you have an instructional problem.  The research literature is full of ideas for addressing noncompliance.
