Assessment Procedures

This paper presents some basic guidelines for planning and conducting single-subject research in special education classrooms, and argues that single-subject research procedures are conceptually compatible with special education practices. Teachers seldom implement their own experiments and in general do not recognize the relevance of research to special education. As one contribution toward rectifying this problem, this paper highlights three basic steps for doing single-subject research in applied special education settings: selecting appropriate target behaviors, designing observational assessment procedures, and selecting cost-effective means for data collection that can be conducted by classroom personnel.

The ability to read Qurán of students with hearing impairments supported by special education is still not as expected due to the limited access to technology. The progress of technology such as a smartphone has led many people to adopt a view that the technology of application is very appropriate to be developed for their learning. In this study, we have developed an application called QUR'ANI to teach reading the Qur'an fluently and appropriately for students with hearing impairments. The method used was single subject research with the AB model. The effectiveness of this application in teaching the Qur’an for students with hearing impairments has been tested with positive effect. Besides, the teacher's subjective point of view in this application has also been consulted. This research found that there was a strong correlation between the components of reading fluency.
