Area of Science:

  • Special Education
  • Applied Behavior Analysis
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Traditional spelling instruction methods may not be effective for all learners.
  • Computer-assisted instruction offers a promising avenue for personalized learning.
  • Interactive programmed instruction can enhance engagement and learning outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a computer-assisted spelling instruction program.
  • To utilize a constructed-response matching-to-sample procedure for spelling.
  • To assess the efficacy of prompt-fading techniques in teaching spelling.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an interactive programmed instruction system using a microcomputer.
  • Employed a constructed-response matching-to-sample procedure with letter arrays and object pictures.

  • Implemented a prompt-fading strategy to teach spelling of words.
  • Utilized individualized assessment and review batteries for two individuals with intellectual disabilities.

    • Main Results:

    • The computer-assisted program successfully taught spelling to the participants.
    • Prompt-fading effectively established correct spelling.
    • The individualized review battery helped maintain previously learned spellings.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer-assisted programmed instruction is an effective method for teaching spelling to individuals with intellectual disabilities.
    • Matching-to-sample and prompt-fading are viable procedures for spelling acquisition.
    • Personalized, cumulative review systems enhance long-term retention.
