| Popis: | 96 With the progress of technology and its applications, the computer assisted learning (CAL) is respected gradually. And owing to its characteristics of mutual learning and learning outcomes tracking that help the instructor evaluate the learning outcomes, which is highly beneficial to teaching. It is known that CAL learning has many advantages, however, it is not popularly applied on cognitive-impaired students, hence, this study is to discuss the current status of intellectual disabled students with CAL, to consolidate related information via observation, interview, and experiment approaches to develop CAL alternative course that meets the individual needs and to conduct teaching experiment. This study is conducted by “Single Case Pretest-Posttest Design” experiment, which the 3 intellectual disabled elementary school students will be divided by baseline, pretest, teaching verification and generalization and other 4 stages for teaching assessment and verification, with the whole process aided with teaching process records to enable valuable references of the experiment. The operating capability of interviewees is getting stable during the process of teaching verification induction. In a correct teaching material the course introduced will be varied upon the characteristics of individual students, such as interaction, sensor area of a cursor and the location of its target, immediate, essential feedback and satisfaction level in reality, music or sound effect, cursor size and transparency, animation and full screen etc., which all have different level of benefits to the understanding of interviewee students, in which the precision for mouse manipulation of the interviewee student will be visibly enhanced when “magnified and transparent” cursor appears, while the 3 interviewees show an obvious attention with adding “music or sound effect” course, as for whether the learning intention of the interviewee will remain by ways of feedback, the 3 interviewees reacted differently to the applicability of the same course material. In addition, the 3 case studies will easily have errors for manipulation if the course material shows with “small screen”, which is suggested to be avoided. In short, the verification result shows the ability for mouse manipulation, the understanding of the association between the screen and the mouse among the 3 interviewees have gradually improved and enhanced via the “teaching material” training, in which case study A is successfully operated per course material instructions, while case study B, to even migrate the ability of mouse manipulation to other CAL software, it is evident that the practice of “teaching material” will help intellectual disabled students utilize CAL to open the ability for multiple-purpose learning, and to further enhance the learning outcomes. |
