Computer-Assisted Mathematics Instruction for Students with Learning Disabilities: A Research Review.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hughes, Charles A.; Maccini, Paula – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 1997
A review of 21 research studies on computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in mathematics with students having learning disabilities found that drill and practice formats have predominated over game, tutorial, or simulation formats. Overall, CAI was found to be an effective medium for mathematics instruction. Suggestions for further research and for…
