Usefulness of interactive video-based instruction on learning performance in relation to cognitive development of children with moderate intellectual disability.

Abstract

The usefulness of information and communication technology has been witnessed around the globe with the occurrence of rapid changes in the field of education i.e. through the formal or informal way. For this, the researchers have assessed Interactive video-based instruction (IVBI) on (N = 95; males = 47 & females = 48 age range between 12 and 15 years) moderate intellectual disability children in Guwahati, Assam, India from three day-care rehabilitation centres. The main objective was to examine the effect of IVBI intervention (IIVBI & CIVBI) on academic performance in association with the cognitive development of children with moderate intellectual disability in a comfortable setting within working hours. The findings conclude that children in the CIVBI group performed more actively as compared to IIVBI and comparison group, and it was due to the involvement of video-based instruction that helped understand the topic more precisely and acts effectively for CIVBI children in an experimental setting.
