Abstract

Mobile technology can help personalize instruction and enhance generic and specific learning skills for students with special educational needs. This study examines the effects of a technology intervention strategy on the attention/concentration and spelling skills. Participants were students with permanent and temporary educational needs attending secondary schools in Chile. A pretest-posttest experimental design with a control group was adopted. 73 students participated, under three conditions: a) control group, with a printed guide-based strategy and without the use of technology, b) an experimental group with a computer-based strategy, and c) an experimental group with an iPad-based strategy. Analysis of Variance was used to compare the means of the three groups. The results show that the iPad-based strategy obtained significant differences compared to the other conditions. It is concluded that iPad mobile technology can improve both the generic attention/concentration skills and the specific spelling skills in students with special educational needs.

移动技术在有特殊教育需求的高中生认知技能发展中的应用

移动技术可以帮助有特殊教育需求的学生个性化教学，提高通用和特定的学习技能。本研究考察了技术干预策略对注意力/集中度和拼写技能的影响。参与者是在智利中学就读的有永久和临时教育需求的学生。采用前测后测实验设计，设对照组。73名学生在三个条件下参与：a）对照组，采用基于印刷指南的策略，不使用技术，b）实验组，采用计算机策略，c）实验组采用基于iPad的策略。方差分析用于比较三组的平均值。结果表明，与其他条件相比，基于iPad的策略获得了显著差异。研究表明，iPad移动技术可以提高有特殊教育需求的学生的一般注意力/集中能力和特定拼写能力。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
