Abstract

The core aim of the research presented in the current paper, was to examine the social benefits derived from applying asynchronous discussions in a 3rd Grade class, concerning a pupil with Asperger’s Syndrome. Asperger's Syndrome (AS) is characterized by difficulties in communication and social interaction. People with AS rarely face problems in cognitive development but they usually feel loneliness and anxiety because of the social isolation. It is proposed that computer based systems could enhance development of autonomy, encourage communication, boost self-confidence and reinforce optimism and respect for Asperger’s Syndrome people. In support of this view, this survey was conducted via observation of a student’s, with AS, changes in social interaction and communication abilities. The activity was implemented using the DIAS system, an asynchronous discussion platform with integrated interaction Analysis tools. The findings show that a remarkable improvement in her social skills occurred. In addition, she could develop conversation skills and engage in a purposeful interaction with others. Finally, the student was overwhelmed by feelings of happiness, although these were temporary.
阿斯伯格综合症儿童与计算机支持的协作学习活动:一个三年级混合班的个案研究
当前论文中提出的研究的核心目的是研究在三年级班级中应用异步讨论所产生的社会效益,该班级涉及一名患有阿斯伯格综合症的学生。阿斯伯格综合症(AS)的特点是沟通和社会交往困难。AS患者在认知发展方面很少遇到问题,但由于社会孤立,他们通常会感到孤独和焦虑。有人提出,基于计算机的系统可以增强自主性的发展,鼓励交流,增强自信,增强对阿斯伯格综合症患者的乐观和尊重。为了支持这一观点,这项调查是通过观察患有AS的学生在社会交往和沟通能力方面的变化来进行的。该活动是使用DIAS系统实现的,这是一个集成了交互分析工具的异步讨论平台。研究结果表明,她的社交技能有了显著的提高。此外,她还可以发展对话技巧,并与他人进行有目的的互动。最后,学生被幸福的感觉所淹没,尽管这些都是暂时的。
