Using Blended Learning To Improve The Mathematics Achievement Of Students With High Incidence Disabilities In An Alternative Education School, Zachary G. Johnson
Using Blended Learning To Improve The Mathematics Achievement Of Students With High Incidence Disabilities In An Alternative Education School, Zachary G. Johnson
Learning Sciences Dissertations
Students with high incidence disabilities in the public school system often perform multiple grade levels below their typically-developing peers in mathematics achievement. These students exhibit lower levels of on-task behavior that limits their access to effective instruction, thus requiring instructional interventions that personalize learning, differentiate materials, and ultimately promote academic engagement. In recent years, the use of technology-mediated and computer-assisted instruction has shown to have positive results with students with disabilities. Blended learning, an intervention that combines face-to-face instruction with computer-based instruction, has been shown to improve the on-task behavior and achievement of students with disabilities. In Chapter One, a …
