TLDR
Two computer simulation programs have been developed for use as instructional aids for preparation of special education teachers to assist teachers of the mildly handicapped in selecting precise, data-based solutions to classroom learning and problems.Abstract:
Two computer simulation programs have been developed for use as instructional aids for preparation of special education teachers. The first set of simulations was designed to assist teachers of the mildly handicapped in selecting precise, data-based solutions to classroom learning and beha viorproblems. Particular emphasis was placed upon cueing teachers to select optimal strategies to enhance teacher consultation between special and regular educators. Optimal strategies were determined by conducting a validation study wherein experts rank-ordered four possible solutions for each of several simulation situations. In evaluations given to 36 subjects before and after the computer simulation program, there were significant differences (p < .05), with posttest selections to be more nearly like the strategy selection of trained, experienced consulting teachers. The second set of simulations was designed to prepare teachers to use direct, curricular-based assessments to determine pupil performance and to evalua...read more
