This study shows computer-assisted instruction using a time-delay procedure effectively taught spelling to most students. Generalization to handwriting was observed, demonstrating the feasibility of microcomputers in special education.

Area of Science:

  • Special Education Technology
  • Applied Behavior Analysis
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Traditional spelling instruction methods may not cater to diverse learning needs.
  • Microcomputers offer potential for personalized and data-driven educational interventions.
  • Time-delay procedures are established techniques for teaching new skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) program utilizing a constant time-delay procedure.
  • To assess the effectiveness of CAI in teaching spelling words to students with special needs.
  • To examine the generalization and maintenance of learned spelling words.

Main Methods:

  • A computer-assisted instruction program was developed to deliver constant time-delay spelling lessons.

  • The program managed content delivery based on individual student performance and collected data.
  • Five students participated in the study, learning 18 spelling words.

    • Main Results:

    • The time-delay procedure was effective for 4 out of 5 students, successfully teaching the spelling words.
    • Generalization of spelling skills occurred from computer-based keyboard responses to teacher-led handwritten responses.
    • Maintenance of learned spelling words varied across participating students.

    Conclusions:

    • Microcomputer-delivered time-delay instruction is a feasible approach for special education classrooms.
    • CAI can effectively support the acquisition of spelling skills in students.
    • Further research is needed to optimize microcomputer-based time-delay instruction features.
