Multimedia Prereading Strategies, Mary J. Wise
All Graduate Projects
Prereading activities are important in enabling students to comprehend and enjoy the books they read. Teachers are always in need of good prereading activities, and the increasing popularity of computers offers opportunities to fill this need, however, technology is not keeping up with educators' needs in this area. While there is an overwhelming quantity of commercially produced computer software programs, they are invariably generic in nature. No software relating to prereading strategies appears to be available. A CD containing multimedia prereading activities was produced to accompany a selected list of elementary level trade books. The CD is intended to be …

Students With Autism: A Light/Sound Technology Intervention, Patricia Powell Woodbury
Students With Autism: A Light/Sound Technology Intervention, Patricia Powell Woodbury
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of light/sound technology to promote sensory integration which facilitates the learning capacity of children with autism by reducing their high state of arousal, increasing time on task and decreasing acting-out behaviors. This research extended the work of A. Jean Ayres and Lorna King who theorized that the autistic individual's brain does not register, modulate or integrate sensations that most people notice; auditory and visual inputs are ignored more than other types of sensory stimuli. This study utilized light/sound technology to stimulate and desensitize these sensory channels to facilitate processing of …

The Effect Of Adjunct Illustrations On Year 8 Students' Comprehension Of Scientific Text, Jackie Knapp

Illustrations are present in the majority of Secondary Science textbooks. The type of illustration used and its purpose varies from text to text.

Some illustrations such as glossy photographs serve no other purpose than to attract the student to the text and motivate them to read. Others such as the scientific diagram present a lot of information in a condensed form and their purpose is to clarify concepts. Some at these more complex illustrations are often difficult to interpret especially for younger …
