Effects of lesson control in computer assisted instruction lesson-game mathematics achievement and retention of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder learners in prathom suksa two
Abstract:
To develop the computer assisted instruction (CAI) lesson-game upon mathematics achievement and retention of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) learners in prathom suksa two. The subjects were selected by using a 2-step selection. First, 4,572 students from 17 Bangkok Metropolitan Administrative schools were observed and analyzed as students with ADHD by their teachers using Brief Conners' Teacher Rating Scale translated by Associate Professor Dr. Titawee Kaewpornsawan. Second, 376 students from the first step were confirmed by using Computerized Continuous Performance Test. Finally, 120 ADHD students were randomly assigned into four groups. The first goup with 30 ADHD students was the control group using the tutorial CAI. The other 3 groups of ADHD students were the experimental group using learner control, program control, and combination control in CAI lesson-game. One-Way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. The major findings are as follows: 1. The effectiveness of tutorial CAI and 3 computer assisted instruction lesson-games was higher than criteria. 2. There was no statistical significant difference on achievement and retention among the control and the 3 experimental groups. 3. There was a statistical significant difference on time usage among the 4 groups at .05 level.
