Area of Science:

  • Special Education Technology
  • Educational Psychology
  • Instructional Design

Background:

  • Technology in education evolved from microcomputers in the 1980s to videodisc instruction in the 1990s.
  • Videodisc technology presents significant potential for secondary special education settings.
  • Previous research provides a foundation for exploring specific videodisc programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the implementation of a videodisc program for teaching fractions.
  • To assess teacher reactions to using videodisc instruction.
  • To measure student achievement gains with videodisc-based fraction instruction.

Main Methods:

  • A specific videodisc program in fractions was studied.
  • Research was conducted in naturalistic settings over daily use.

  • Seven secondary special education teachers and their students participated.
  • Data collected included implementation levels, teacher feedback, and student outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • The videodisc program demonstrated generally positive results across all measured areas.
    • Teacher acceptance of the videodisc program was surprisingly high.
    • Implementation levels and student achievement were favorably impacted.

    Conclusions:

    • Videodisc instruction is a viable and well-accepted technology for secondary special education.
    • This approach can effectively enhance the teaching of fractions to students with learning disabilities.
    • Further adoption of videodisc technology in special education is recommended.
