An evaluation of a multidimensional intervention for learning disabled adolescents /Schnaiberg, Romy S. (Romy Sue) January 1990 (has links)
Meeting the needs of the Learning Disabled has become one of the most researched and documented areas in special education. Individualized programs which incorporate components to promote motivation, skill building, skill generalization and strategy use, and social competence have been called for in the literature (Deshler, Schumaker, Lenz, & Ellis, 1984), however, there have been remarkably few evaluations of such programs (Horn, O'Donnell, & Vitulano, 1983). / This study evaluated a multidimensional intervention program using the objectives-oriented method. The Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement and three nonstandardized measures were used to evaluate the four program objectives. Analysis of the individuals' gains indicated that objective achievement was idiosyncratic. Group gain analysis indicated significant gains only in English class marks, F(7,1) = 7.40, p =.3. The results are discussed and implications for future research are outlined.

A qualitative investigation into adolescents with learning disabilities : their perceptions and uses of social support / Adolescent perceptions of social supportWilkie, Tara V. January 1999 (has links)
This qualitative descriptive inquiry investigates the perceptions and uses of social support of a selected group of adolescents who attended an English school for students with learning disabilities in Montreal, Quebec. I draw on Vygotskian socio-cultural theory as a framework for understanding how the participants access and use people for social support and how these adolescents provide others with social support. I use three Vygotskian concepts, the zone of proximal development, self-regulation and internalization to examine the differences between those who use support well and those who do not. Data collected and analyzed includes audio taped interviews with focus groups, students, parents, teachers and professional staff, school based and classroom based participant observations. A major finding to emerge is that adolescents in this inquiry use or do not use support well based on what they have internalized through previous experiences and social interactions in their home contexts. The students who use support well appear to have had positive demonstrations of social support within their zones of proximal development, thus enabling them to internalize and self regulate how to access and use social support in other contexts. The students who do not use support well do not appear to have experienced positive demonstrations of social support within their zones of proximal development. This latter group experience difficulties in accessing, accepting and using social support both in home and school contexts. However, these adolescents can learn to self regulate, access and use social support when adults, their peers or significant others listen and validate their concerns and move into their zones of proximal development. Implications for teachers include; (a) Creating open and trusting environments in which students feel comfortable in risk-taking and self-disclosure; and (b) Implementing mentoring programs in which a collaborative environment is created and

Motivational deficits among adolescents with mental handicapsRuttner, Jeffrey D. January 1992 (has links)
Carol Dweck's (1988) social-cognitive theory of achievement proposes that individuals will be most likely to pursue challenges and persevere in the face of obstacles if they (a) attribute failures to lack of effort, (b) possess an incremental theory of intelligence, and (c) possess high confidence in their intelligence. A recent study by Breed and Koestner (1991) showed that all 3 of these factors enhanced motivation among 5th and 6th grade children in regular classes. The present study examined the relation of these variables to the motivation of 44 7th, 8th and 9th graders who were classified as learning disabled (LD). Results showed that children who are LD are significantly less likely than other children to attribute failures to a lack of effort. Results also showed that children who are LD, like children who are not LD, displayed enhanced motivation when incremental theories of intelligence are highlighted. Finally, it was shown that children who are LD do not respond to positive feedback with enhanced motivation, as would children who are not LD. In fact, there was a marginal trend for children who are LD who received neutral feedback to display more motivation than those who received very positive feedback. The study highlights the difficulty of providing positive performance feedback to LD children in a convincing manner.
