| dc.description.abstract | Purpose of the study was to explore the role of technology in accelerating the learning of student with mental retardations. The study aimed to rehabilitate children with mental retardation in learning. The investigator developed three instruments to conduct the study. (i) A curriculum based achievement test of mathematic subject was developed on the bases of curriculum selected from different special schools of Lahore city, (ii) thirty worksheets were also developed on bases of thirty items of achievement test and (iii) three data recording sheets were developed by the researcher to record the performance of the students. Millie's math house and Trudy's time and place house computer software were used as to treatment. Five students with mental retardation from PakistanAir Force special education Institute Lahore (PAF) were selected as the sample of the study. Sample was selected by simple random sampling technique. The assistive technology was implemented by using a pre-intervention, intervention and post-intervention phases for each participant.All participants showed progress in every step of the intervention and post-intervention phases.The qualitative and quantitative research methods were used to report the results. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) were used to analyses the data. Paired sample t-test was applied on the data and results showed in the form of tables and line graphs by using excel. Analysis of the data showed a significant improvement in participant's learning and shortens the mathematics items achievement time and number of errors of students with mental retardation. It is recommended that after the selection of appropriate software for developing mathematics skill of students with mental retardation, it should be used in both institutional and home based settings and it should be a part of their syllabus to make them active learners. | en_US |
