背景:在正常学校中,有相当数量的学业落后的儿童是学习迟缓的。本研究的目的是评估针对慢速学习者的个性化教育计划(IEP)的有效性,仿照师范学校资源室培训。
方法:15名智商在70-90范围内的儿童接受为期4个月的个性化教育。将孩子分为三个相等的组,并接受个性化的阅读培训,写作和数学每周5个小时,分两节。独立评估人员在培训计划之前和之后对每个孩子的学术水平进行了评估。
结果:培训结束后,87%的孩子在数学方面都有进步,阅读或写作,47%的人在这三个方面都有改善。总体学术改善具有统计学意义。
结论:IEP将改善学习速度较慢的儿童的学业功能。
BACKGROUND: A significant number of children with scholastic backwardness in normal schools are slow learners. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an individualized education program (IEP) for slow learners, modeled on resource room training in normal schools.
METHODS: 15 children with IQ in the 70-90 range were given individualized education for a period of 4 months. The children were divided into three equal groups and were given individualized training in reading, writing and mathematics for 5 hours a week in two sessions. The academic level of each child was rated before and after the training program by independent assessors.
RESULTS: After the training, 87% of children had improvement in either mathematics, reading or writing and 47% had improvement in all the three areas. The overall academic improvement was statistically significant.
CONCLUSIONS: IEP will lead to improvement in academic functioning of children who are slow learners.
