The Effectiveness of Virtual Reality-Based Teaching Material on Geometry Related Problem Solving in Students with Learning Disabilities
Abstract
The past ten years have generated significant
research toward improving the mathematical academic outcomes of students with learning
disabilities. In this effort, the role of technology in the classroom, both
high- and low-tech, has gained significant attention for students with
disabilities. The use of manipulatives is a form of technology with an
established research base. Although concrete manipulatives in instructional practice
have been thoroughly studied, the emergence of virtual manipulatives presents
teachers with new options for teaching mathematics to elementary and secondary
students. This article focuses the use of virtual manipulatives for students
with disabilities while highlighting the benefits they pose, such a providing
students with flexible options for learning, promoting student autonomy, and
offering educators a wider range of options. In the study, the number of
correct answers given to the area and volume questions related to the cube,
square and rectangular prisms by the virtual teaching material were examined in
3 students with hyperactivity accompanying the learning difficulties. In the
research conducted with the multiple probe across participants design, it is
possible to say that the implementation of teaching through virtual reality
platforms supports the continuation of attention to a certain point and it
provides an advantage by having fun applications and increasing the number of
correct responses to the geometry problems.
