Children with intellectual disabilities often struggle with handwriting, but there is very little research to inform intervention approaches. In this study, we developed a teaching manual based on Handwriting Without Tears®, a comprehensive handwriting programme designed for typically developing children. Three children with intellectual disabilities participated in the study and received handwriting instruction based on the manual three times a week over a 32‐week period. Our aims were to explore whether Handwriting Without Tears® can be used as a comprehensive handwriting curriculum for children with intellectual disabilities and to evaluate improvement in handwriting skills. We found that the intervention was successfully incorporated into small group teaching sessions within the child's regular classroom, and that all three children made improvements. Our data show promising results and support the need for larger evaluation studies.  相似文献

Classroom dialogue and digital technologies: A scoping review     

L. Major  P. Warwick  I. Rasmussen  S. Ludvigsen  V. Cook 《Education and Information Technologies》2018,23(5):1995-2028

This article presents a systematic scoping review of the literature focusing on interactions between classroom dialogue and digital technology. The first review of its type in this area, it both maps extant research and, through a process of thematic synthesis, investigates the role of technology in supporting classroom dialogue. In total, 72 studies (published 2000–2016) are analysed to establish the characteristics of existing evidence and to identify themes. The central intention is to enable researchers and others to access an extensive base of studies, thematically analysed, when developing insights and interpretations in a rapidly changing field of study. The discussion illustrates the interconnectedness of key themes, placing the studies in a methodological and theoretical context and examining challenges for the future.  相似文献

A mathematical model of a 2D homogeneous swarm of robots     

V. E. Pavlovskii  V. V. Pavlovskii 《Scientific and Technical Information Processing》2016,43(5-6):306-314

We present a simulation of the behavior of a homogeneous group of robots in an environment with obstacles. The problems of 2D flight of robots to different target objects were considered. The questions of the mutual dependence between local control rules and global adaptive group behavior and the synthesis of group control were studied and an analysis of the controllability of the group targets in environment with obstacles was performed. The results of the simulation are presented and examples of the operation of the simulation program are given.  相似文献
