An Evaluation of the Direct Instruction Model-Lead-Test Procedure and Rewards on Rote Counting, Number Recognition and Rational Counting with a Preschool Student with Developmental Delays (original) (raw)
Abstract Math is considered very important in our life and culture. Understanding the concepts and strategies is highly important in to being a contributing member of society. It can be struggle for children in a special education preschool program to master these concepts. We evaluated the effects of direct instruction Model-Lead-Test (MLT) with a reward system for children in a special education preschool program’s rote counting, number recognition and rational counting curriculum. The results indicated that MLT with rewards gradually increased the student’s performance. When Set 3 was modified, the participant made no errors on sessions 15-17 and with sessions 18-20. When the last three numbers were added, the participant’s performance was variable. When maintenance was evaluated, the child’s performance for rote and rational counting was maintained

The aim of the study was to analyze and facilitate collaborative design in a virtual learning environment (VLE). Discussions of virtual design in design education have typically focused on technological or communication issues, not on pedagogical issues. Yet in order to facilitate collaborative design, it is also necessary to address the pedagogical issues related to the virtual design process. In this study, the progressive inquiry model of collaborative designing was used to give a structural level of facilitation to students working in the VLE. According to this model, all aspects of inquiry, such as creating the design context, constructing a design idea, evaluating the idea, and searching for new information, can be shared in a design community. The study consists of three design projects: 1) designing clothes for premature babies, 2) designing conference bags for an international conference, and 3) designing tactile books for visually impaired children. These design projects c...
