Walton, W. T. – Journal of Special Education Technology, 1985
A survey completed by 40 regular and 54 special education teachers indicated that the majority did not use or used sparingly the existing data collection methods. Ss collected and analyzed academic data more than adaptive, emotional, and social data. A computerized technique was advocated by the author. (CL)

Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – Journal of Special Education Technology, 1983
This paper describes a continuous evaluation system, data-based program modification (DBPM), which has demonstrated technical adequacy, logistical feasibility, and instructional effectiveness. Use of DBPM is highlighted in a case study, and the DBPM software package that stores, summarizes, analyzes, and displays a graph of student performance…

Jenkins, Marcia W. – Journal of Special Education Technology, 1987
Individualized educational programs (IEPs) written either by hand or by use of the "IEP Writer'" a specially designed word processing program, were compared. Results indicated that IEPs which were written using the program took less time and were of higher quality than were handwritten IEPs. (Author/DB)

Woodward, John; And Others – Journal of Special Education Technology, 1987
Two studies involving 27 learning-disabled middle-school students and 30 mildly handicapped junior high students investigated use of Teacher Net, a computer networking system that facilitates immediate feedback. Teacher Net reduced the teachers' administrative workload, effectively monitored student understanding, provided feedback to teachers,…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – Journal of Special Education Technology, 1987
Twenty special education teachers of learning disabled or emotionally disturbed elementary students were assessed on teacher efficiency and satisfaction in using curriculum-based student performance monitoring procedures, either computer-assisted or paper and pencil. Computer assistance was associated with decreased efficiency but increased…

Hayden, Melissa; And Others – Journal of Special Education Technology, 1992
Three middle school teachers of mainstreamed students with mild disabilities used a computer networking system to check student understanding of math concepts. Results indicated that, with coaching on how to use the data generated by the system, teachers increased the amount of time spent on active teaching and providing feedback. (Author/JDD)

Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – Journal of Special Education Technology, 1993
An ongoing research program is examining use of technology to surmount difficulties in incorporating curriculum-based measurement in instructional programs for students with disabilities. The use of computers to assume the mechanical aspects of measurement and to help teachers translate assessment information into feasible instructional…

Hunter, Maxwell W.; Chen, Alexander N. – Journal of Special Education Technology, 1992
A local area network provided 32 seventh-grade remedial or learning-disabled students and their teachers with access to complete student performance records. Analysis indicated that system use by students and teachers was high and was a positive experience. A positive correlation was obtained between student use and completion of academic tasks.…
