Developing Evaluation Tool and Teaching Program for Learning to Read

在最近的特殊教育中，个人教育计划(IEP)受到了更多的重视。IEP考虑到每个儿童在学习过程中的特点和能力。框架式计算机辅助教学程序是为满足正常儿童的个体发展需要而开发的。本文报告了该方案在特殊教育中对残障儿童的应用。(2)利用《基于FCAI的双音节单词阅读测试》开发程序，考察了学习阅读的儿童在音素意识和音节切分方面的发展过程。在我们的上一篇论文(1996)中，我们报告了我们为正常儿童和残疾儿童开发的“双音节单词阅读测试”。本文报告了两个利用“基于FCAI的双音节单词测试”的计算机程序。(3)FCAI“双音节单词测试”在特殊教育中的应用。一项是试图通过使用字母来发展非语言儿童的语言能力。另一个是为一个词汇量有限、只有几个字母可读的男孩培养语言和阅读能力。双音节单词测试的概念在试图评估和计划这些发育障碍儿童的治疗计划时被发现是有用的。

(1) FCA1 in educationIn recent special education, more emphasis has been placed upon the Individual Educational Program(IEP). The IEP takes account of the characteristics and abilities of each child in the learning process. The Frame-type Computer Assisted Instruction (FCAI) program was developed to meet the individual developmental needs of normal children. This paper reports the application of the program for normal children to the handicapped in special education.(2) Developing Programs by utilizing the "Bi-Syllabic Word Test for Reading based on FCAI'We have examined the developmental process of phonemic awareness and syllabic segmentation among children who are learning to read. In our last paper (1996), we reported the "Bi-syllabic Word Test for Reading" which we developed for normal as well as for handicapped children. In this paper, we report two computer programs which utilize the "Bi-Syllabic Word Test based on FCAI."(3) Application of the FCAI" Bi-Syllabic Word Test" for Reading Program to Special EducationTwo case studies are also reported. One was on an attempt to develop language in a non-verbal child by using letters. The other was to develop language and reading for a boy with limited vocabulary and a few isolated letters to read. The concept of the Bi-Syllabic Word Test was found useful when trying to evaluate and plan a therapeutic program for these developmentally handicapped children.
