Abstract

Mobile technology can help personalize instruction and enhance generic and specific learning skills for students with special educational needs. This study examines the effects of a technology intervention strategy on the attention/concentration and spelling skills. Participants were students with permanent and temporary educational needs attending secondary schools in Chile. A pretest-posttest experimental design with a control group was adopted. 73 students participated, under three conditions: a) control group, with a printed guide-based strategy and without the use of technology, b) an experimental group with a computer-based strategy, and c) an experimental group with an iPad-based strategy. Analysis of Variance was used to compare the means of the three groups. The results show that the iPad-based strategy obtained significant differences compared to the other conditions. It is concluded that iPad mobile technology can improve both the generic attention/concentration skills and the specific spelling skills in students with special educational needs.

移动技术在有特殊教育需求的高中生认知技能发展中的应用

移动技术可以帮助有特殊教育需求的学生个性化教学，提高通用和特定的学习技能。本研究考察了技术干预策略对注意力/集中度和拼写技能的影响。参与者是在智利中学就读的有永久和临时教育需求的学生。采用前测后测实验设计，设对照组。73名学生在三个条件下参与：a）对照组，采用基于印刷指南的策略，不使用技术，b）实验组，采用计算机策略，c）实验组采用基于iPad的策略。方差分析用于比较三组的平均值。结果表明，与其他条件相比，基于iPad的策略获得了显著差异。研究表明，iPad移动技术可以提高有特殊教育需求的学生的一般注意力/集中能力和特定拼写能力。

期刊介绍： Aula Abierta es una revista científica semestral (enero-junio y julio-diciembre) que publica artículos inéditos sobre Educación, de carácter empírico o teórico, en español o inglés, relevantes para los investigadores o los profesionales de la Educación, a quienes va dirigida la revista. Más del 75% de los artículos publicados serán trabajos empíricos, que comuniquen resultados de investigación originales. El resto, trabajos descriptivos sobre experiencias educativas innovadoras o de naturaleza teórica, serán publicados solo por propuesta o solicitud previa del Equipo de Dirección de la revista. El objetivo principal de Aula Abierta es contribuir a la difusión de la investigación educativa de calidad que se realiza en España. No obstante, la revista también está abierta a la publicación puntual de trabajos internacionales, que resulten de especial interés y supongan una contribución relevante al campo de la Educación.
