Teaching early reading skills to adult offenders with intellectual disability using computer-delivered instruction

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility, and effectiveness, of using Headsprout Early Reading (HER), an online computer program, to teach basic reading skills to adult offenders with mild intellectual disabilities (IDs) in a secure hospital. Design/methodology/approach A single subject pre-post-test design replicated across two participants was used. Two standardized literacy tests were completed at baseline, half way through the intervention, and at the end of the intervention period. A measure of reading self-concept was also completed. An additional component to this research design was the inclusion of two “treatment as usual” (TAU) control participants who did not complete the program. Findings Results are positive in terms of the feasibility of running the program, improved reading skills, and self-concept scores for both “intervention” participants compared to the “TAU” participants. Originality/value HER was originally developed for typically developing children, and has been found to be effective for children with IDs and developmental disabilities. This is the first study to evaluate this program with an adult population.

This study developed a learning model to improve students’ early reading skills in Indonesia. The model is based on social cognitive learning theory and is implemented using interactive multimedia. The research method uses Design-Based Research (DBR) and the subjects are 195 first and second graders of an elementary school in Bandung, West Java. The findings of the study show that social cognitive learning can be integrated and implemented through interactive multimedia and that interactive-multimedia-assisted social cognitive model (IMAS Model) can improve early reading skills. Students’ average early reading skill scores were measured using Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) instrument before and after intervention to see the effectiveness of the model. Pre-test – post-test results comparison showed that students’ average early reading scores increased after learning using IMAS Model. Students’ average scores of reading letters, reading syllables, reading words, reading sentences, and reading comprehension skills at pre-test were 78.06, 67.06, 60.92, 55.21, and 44.95, respectively. These scores respectively increased to 92.71, 92.45, 88.58, 74.60, and 87.08 at post-test, indicating that IMAS Model is effective to increase early reading skills.

AbstrakMMembaca permulaan merupakan kemampuan paling dasar dan penting untuk mempelajari simbol atau kode yang memiliki makna serta dapat diterjemahkan dalam bunyi atau suara. Komponen membaca permulaan yaitu membaca huruf, suku kata, kata dan kalimat sederhana. Membaca sangat penting untuk setiap orang, begitu juga anak berkebutuhan khusus. Cerebral Palsy adalah individu yang mengalami kerusakan otak menetap yang berdampak pada mobilisasi, gerak, komunikasi, dan lain sebagainya. Metode yang digunakan oleh guru di sekolah kurang dapat meningkatkan kemampuan membaca permulaan. Oleh karena itu, subjek memerlukan metode pembelajaran yang dapat meningkatkan kemampuan membaca permulaannya. Salah satunya yaitu metode pembelajaran Strukrural Analitik Sintetik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pembelajaran ini untuk melihat pengaruh kepada kemampuan membaca permulaan pada subjek. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif, eksperimen Single Subject Research dengan desain A-B-A. Jumlah sesi pada A1 tiga sesi, B tujuh sesi, dan A2 tiga sesi. Subjek penelitian ini yaitu anak cerebral palsy spastik yang mengalami hambatan kecerdasan kelas IX SMPLB. etiap sesinya anak memperoleh rata-rata nilai A1 yaitu 59,06%, B 74,80%, dan A2 84,25%. Kesimpulannya metode struktural analitik sintetik dapat berpengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan kemampuan membaca permulaan. AbstractPre-reading is the most basic and important ability to learn symbols or codes that have meaning and can be translated in sounds or sounds. The component of pre-reading is reading letters, syllables, words and simple sentences. Reading is very important for everyone, so are children with special needs. Cerebral Palsy is an individual who has permanent brain damage that affects mobilization, movement, communication, and so forth. The method used by teachers in schools is less able to improve pre-reading skills. Therefore, the subject requires learning methods that can improve the ability to read the beginning. One of them is the synthetic analytical structural learning method. This study uses this learning method to see the effect on early reading skills on the subject. The research method uses a quantitative approach, a single subject research experiment with A-B-A design. The number of sessions at A1 is three sessions, B is seven sessions, and A2 is three sessions. The subjects of this study are spastic cerebral palsy children who have intelligence problems in class IX SMPLB. for each session the children obtained an average A1 value of 59.06%, B 74.80%, and A2 84.25%. In conclusion, synthetic analytic structural methods can have a significant effect on improving early reading skills.

This study aims to test the effectiveness of the multisensory method of early reading skills in children with mild mental retardation in grade VI at SLB (Special School) Bina Bangsa, Ngelom, Taman, Sidoarjo. The research method used in this research is the Single Subject Research (SSR) experimental method with the ABA design model. The subject in this study was a grade 6 student with mental retardation at Special School (SLB) Bina Bangsa, Ngelom, Taman, Sidoarjo. The data collection technique used in this study was an initial reading ability test. The data analysis technique in this research is descriptive statistical data analysis techniques with data analysis in conditions and between conditions. The results of this study indicate that the multisensory method is effective in improving early reading skills in mildly retarded children.

Penelitian ini memfokuskan pada: apakah ada peningkatan dalam membaca setelah menggunakan metode suku kata berbasis media kartugambar dan Apakahfaktor yang mempengaruhi dalam keterampilan membaca permulaan. Jenispenelitian ini adalah penelitian tindakan kelas sedangkan sabjeknya ialah seluruh siswa kelas 1 MI Nurus Shibyan Ambat dengan jumlah 18 siswa. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengumpulan data adalah wawancara, observasi, tes dan dokumentasi. Dalam membaca permulaan peneliti penggunaan metode suku kata berbasis media kartu gambar dari hasil tersebut terlihat adanya peningkatan keterampilan membaca permulaan pada siswa. Hal ini dibuktikan pada saat sebelum diberi tindakan nilai rata-rata dari seluruh siswa masih rendah yaitu 45,27, dan presentase ketuntasan klasikalsiswa 16,67%. Pada siklus I setelah diberi tidakanya itu dengan menggunakan metode suku kata berbasis media kartu gambar nilai rata-rata siswa meningkat menjadi 57,5 dan presentase ketuntasan klasikal sebesar 27,78%. pada siklus II nilai rata-rata siswa meningkat menjadi 67,5 sedangkan presentase ketuntasan siswa menjadi 55,56%. Dan pada pelaksanaan siklus III nilai rata-rata siswa meningkat menjadi 78,88 dan peningkatan presentase ketuntasan siswa mencapai 83,33%. Kata Kunci: Membaca Permulaan, Suku Kata Berbasis Kartu Gambar Abstract Reading skills at the beginning of students are still low due to the lack of teacher skills in processing learning to be interesting, this causes students to be less enthusiastic in reading so that students are more engrossed in talking to themselves with their peers. This study focuses on: is there an increase in reading after using the syllabic media-based syllable method and what are the influencing factors in early reading skills. This type of research is classroom action research while the subject is all grade 1 students of MI NurusShibyanAmbat with a total of 18 students. The methods used in data collection are interviews, observation, tests and documentation. In reading the beginning of the researcher the use of the syllabus-based media method of the image card shows that there is an increase in students' beginning reading skills. This was evidenced at the time before being given an action the average value of all students was still low at 45.27, and the percentage of classical completeness of students was 16.67%. In the first cycle after being given the act of using syllables based on the media card the average value of students increased to 57.5 and the percentage of classical completeness was 27.78%. in cycle II the average value of students increased to 67.5 while the percentage of student completeness to 55.56%. And in the implementation of the third cycle the average value of students increased to 78.88 and the percentage ofstudentscompleteness reached 83.3%.
