This study aims to reveal the problems faced by a dyslexic student in learning science and determine what can be considered an effective science teaching method for this kind of learner. The case study design was used, and the study was conducted with a 7th-grade dyslexic female student. This study used observations and a semi-structured interview…

This reveiw has two aims; the first is to assess adaptive training as a method for teaching control skills, and the second is to establish a conceptual framework that will allow a detailed analysis of adaptive manipulations and their influence on skill acquisition. The major studies in adaptive training research are described and evaluated.…

In this study, learning was maximized by matching students with a certain learning style with complementary instructional strategies. (MM)

Teaching methods to develop the handwriting skills of children who have low vision are discussed. Difficulties are seen to result from problems with motor skills, visual factors, and mechanical difficulties. Stressed throughout is adaptation of the handwriting program to the particular needs of the individual child. (DB)

Forty-four 7-11 year-old subjects with normal to high IQ's but who fell in the lower half of their respective age groups in reading were studied to determine the relative effectiveness of perceptual motor training (PMT) and individualized remedial reading instruction (IRRI) upon the reading achievement, perceptual motor development, and behavior…

This curriculum is designed primarily for use in individualized classrooms where the teacher is working with an assistant, but it has also been proven effective in traditional classrooms and in remedial situations. Program II focuses on the basic abilities used in analyzing and organizing acoustical patterns, with special emphasis on verbal…

The article describes a program in which students from Boston University's Department of Movement, Health, and Leisure, enrolled in the course "Motor Learning Theory and Laboratory," assist in assessing and providing individually tailored programs of motor training for deaf-blind children at the Perkins School for the Blind. (DLS)

Readiness and remedial activities involving symbolic and cognitive stimulus elements were viewed as being superior to the currently widely used perceptual motor activities for readiness, corrective, and remedial instruction for children. (Author)

This document describes the methods employed in, the information gathered during, and the current status of this project. The project attempted to (1) identify those perceptual skills that appear to be directly related to the basic classroom tasks of reading and arithmetic at the primary level, (2) identify perceptual skills that relate directly…

Learning, beginning in infancy, depends chiefly upon the nature and quality of movement experiences. Since 50 percent of a child's potential for learning is developed by age five, it is essential that movement programs be devised for children of preschool age. Movement programs must be geared to the individual child's developmental level. (JN)

The described teacher inservice education program is designed for elementary school teachers and administrators who are interested in child development in relation to individually guided education. The scope and sequencing of topics in the program are outlined, and the activities and resources involved are described. Ordering information for…

This curriculum is designed primarily for individualized classrooms where the teacher is working with an assistant, but has also been proven effective in traditional classrooms and in remedial situations. It is designed to test and teach children the basic abilities (readiness skills) assumed by the present primary-grade reading, writing,…

This guide contains a motor development diagnostic survey for the use of elementary physical education teachers and classroom teachers. These tests enable teachers to identify specific perceptual motor problems of students. A description is given of activities to be used in establishing individualized instructional programs for remedial purposes.…

This curriculum is designed primarily for use in individualized classrooms where the teacher is working with an assistant, but it has also been proven effective in traditional classrooms and in remedial situations. Program 1 focuses on the basic abilities children use to analyze and organize graphic and other spatial patterns--skills directly…

This curriculum is designed primarily for use in individualized classrooms where the teacher is working with an assistant, but it has also been proven effective in traditional classrooms and in remedial situations. Program 3 focuses on a variety of gross-and fine-motor functions--basic abilities that affect the way the child physically interacts…
