The Effects of Computer-assisted Instruction on the Mathematical Problem Solving of Students with Learning Disabilities.

Shiah, Rwey-Lin; And Others

Exceptionality, v5 n3 p131-61 1994-95

This study, involving 30 elementary students with learning disabilities, found that students performed significantly better on mathematics tests given using a computer than by paper and pencil. It found no differences among variations of computer-assisted instruction, with either static or animated pictures and either utilizing or not utilizing a seven-step cognitive strategy for solving arithmetic word problems.
