Abstract

This meta-analysis assessed the effect of word-problem-solving interventions on the word-problem-solving accuracy of students identified as having a learning disability (LD) or at risk for an LD in kindergarten to the sixth grade. Eighteen randomized control group designed studies met the inclusion criteria. Overall, word-problem-solving interventions yielded a significant positive effect on the word-problem-solving accuracy of students in elementary grades with LD (effect size [ES] = 1.08). Instructional components that underlie effective studies were also identified. Results suggest that peer interaction and transfer instructions yielded large effects on treatment outcomes. Results also suggested that intensive interventions (50-min sessions, 34 total sessions) in Grade 3 regardless of instructional setting yielded the largest ESs. These findings support the need to develop and implement quality evidence-based instruction in classroom settings (Tier 1 instruction) prior to utilizing additional resources for more intensive and individualized intervention.

小学学习障碍学生的文字问题解决干预:文献荟萃分析

本荟萃分析评估了单词问题解决干预对幼儿园至六年级有学习障碍或有学习障碍风险的学生的单词问题解决准确性的影响。18个随机对照组设计的研究符合纳入标准。总体而言，单词问题解决干预对小学低年级障碍学生的单词问题解决准确率有显著的正向影响(效应量[ES] = 1.08)。有效研究的教学成分也被确定。结果表明，同伴互动和转移指导对治疗结果产生了很大的影响。结果还表明，无论教学环境如何，三年级的强化干预(每次50分钟，总共34次)产生了最大的ESs。这些发现支持在利用额外资源进行更密集和个性化的干预之前，需要在课堂环境中开发和实施高质量的循证教学(一级教学)。
