A Database of Remedial Education for Children with Special Needs in Learning Basic Mathematics

本研究是对特殊需要儿童基础数学学习的纵向研究。这项研究的最初目的是：孩子们如何学习数学？人类是如何创造数学概念的？为了实现这一目标，对有学习困难的儿童采取了补救教育。在这个过程中，成功的教/学记录被积累起来。例如，一个四年级的学生不会加个位数。他不会加多位数。他记不住乘法。他被认为是“全球型ID儿童”，但经过5年的补习教育，他克服了困难，掌握了所有的算术技能，并成功地掌握了如何操作加减号和变量来进行代数公式的加减运算。由于这些记录对教师对有特殊需要的儿童进行教育干预有直接的帮助，因此这些记录已被修改为计算机使用的数据库。该研究的资料库包含以下科目的教/学记录：(1)在学习基础数学方面有全局性障碍的儿童(2)在患脑膜炎后出现严重脑部障碍的儿童(3)在患脑积水后出现脑损伤或脑功能障碍的儿童(4)有自闭症的儿童(5)有可能出现轻微脑功能障碍的学习缓慢的儿童(6)在学习减法方面成绩欠佳的儿童(7)有智力障碍的儿童数据库还包含加拿大儿童的记录，这些儿童被认为是学习缓慢、成绩低、大脑功能障碍或发育障碍的儿童。(cf, http://plaza4ts.edu.u-ryukyu, ac.jp /)

This study is a longitudinal research on children with special needs in learning basic mathematics. The initial purpose of the study was : How could children learn mathematics? How could human create mathematical ideas? In order to achieve this goal, remedial education for children with learning difficulties was adopted. During this process, successful teaching/learning records were accumulated For example, a fourth grader could not add one-digit numbers well. He could not add multi-digit numbers. He failed to memorize multiplication facts. He was thought as a global type ID child But, he overcame difficulties to obtain all arithmetic skills after five-years for remedial education and succeeded in understanding how to operate plus and minus symbols and variables to add or subtract algebraic formulas.As these records are directly useful for teachers to do educational intervention for children with special needs, they have been modified as a database for computer use. The database of the study contains the teaching/learning records on the following subjects :(1) A child with a global type LD in learning basic mathematics(2) A child with serious brain disorders after suffering meningitis(3) A child with brain damage or brain dysfunction after suffering hydrocephalus(4) A child with autistic disorder(5) A slow-learning child with possible minimal brain dysfunction(6) A low-achieving child in learning subtraction(7) A child with intellectual disordersThe database also contains records of Canadian children who are deemed as slow-learners, low-achievers, children with brain dysfunctions, or those with development disorders.
