Accelerating Learning of Special Education Studentswith Intellectual Disability via Technology Enhanced Extracurriculum

2015-11-30
This study illustrates an effective practice utilizing an innovative instructional design, namely, technologyenhanced extracurriculum (TEE) created for special education students with intellectual disability. A formative research with post-facto multiple cases was designed to find out how a TEE affects students with intellectual disability in terms of cognitive and physical development; along with teachers’ perceptions about technology use in special education. Findings showed that TEE accelerates learning and has positive affects regarding cognitive and physical development.
