Abstract

Measurement concepts are an essential foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts. To address the challenges of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in learning measurement concepts, this study investigated the effects of using a combination of explicit instruction and virtual manipulatives (VMs) to teach measurement concepts to students with ASD. Using a single-case multiple-probe across skills design, researchers examined whether the intervention could support the acquisition and maintenance of measurement concepts in students with ASD. Based on visual analysis, a functional relation was found between the independent variable (i.e., explicit instruction with VMs) and student performance on solving measurement concepts problems. Implications for practice and research are discussed.

运用显性教学和虚拟操作对自闭症谱系障碍学生进行测量概念教学

测量概念是更高级的数学概念的必要基础。为了解决自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)学生在学习测量概念方面的挑战，本研究探讨了使用显性教学和虚拟操作(vm)相结合的方法对ASD学生进行测量概念教学的效果。采用单案例多探针跨技能设计，研究人员检查干预是否可以支持自闭症学生测量概念的获取和维持。通过可视化分析，发现自变量(即带虚拟机的外显教学)与学生解决测量概念问题的表现之间存在函数关系。讨论了对实践和研究的启示。
