This review of research addresses the teaching of reading, one of the most common concerns in the education of students with learning disabilities. First, past conceptualizations of the condition of learning disabilities are considered, then rejected in favor of the notion that learning disabled individuals are characterized by a failure to deploy cognitive resources effectively. Next, recent research on teacher effectiveness and the technology of direct instruction is examined in relation to current understandings of the nature and treatment of learning disabilities. Finally, empirically based instructional strategies for the teaching of reading to the learning disabled are suggested.

Thirty-six learning disabled junior-high school students were randomly assigned to three experimental conditions to learn three dichotomous classifications for each of eight minerals: hardness level (hard-soft), color (pale-dark), and common use (home-industry). In the direct-instruction condition, students were taught the mineral classifications according to the principles of direct instruction (i.e., student participation with repeated practice and reinforcement). In the mnemonic-instruction condition, students were shown thematic illustrations that integrated each of the minerals and its symbolized attribute classifications. Finally, in the free-study condition, students were instructed to learn the eight minerals using whichever method they chose. Results showed that students who learned via mnemonic instruction outperformed those who were allowed free study. The latter group, in turn, outperformed the direct-instruction subjects. Implications for classroom instruction are drawn.

Twenty-three learning disabled children were randomly assigned to three different classrooms, one of which served as a control condition. The two experimental classrooms consisted of homogeneous groups of students who were provided behaviorally based instruction, including direct instruction in language skills such as vocabulary, statement repetition, literal and inferential comprehension, and basic facts (e.g., names of months). At posttesting on the Slosson Intelligence and Gilmore Oral Reading tests the mean score of the experimental classes were found to be approximately three-fourths of a standard deviation higher that the means for the control group, a directionally significant difference in both cases. The results are discussed as support for the proposition that use of direct instruction procedures is a successful means of overcoming the learning difficulties of children considered learning disabled.

This research project was designed to increase a male adult's oral reading performance. A direct instruction approach was used to teach lacking phonic skills previously determined through a detailed performance analysis. As a result of highly specific phonic lessons, reading performance was increased by three years over a three-month period. A multiple-baseline design was used to compare acquisition and maintenance of each phonic concept.

Three experiments were conducted to assess the effects of vocabulary instruction on word knowledge and reading comprehension. Treatments varied in the amount of direct instruction, ranging from meaning derivation from context to drill on synonyms. In Experiment 1, subjects were “average” fourth-grade readers, whereas subjects in Experiments 2 and 3 were learning disabled and remedial readers. Results of Experiments 1 and 2 indicated that the treatments were differentially effective in teaching synonyms for unfamiliar words. More meanings were acquired as a result of increased direct instruction. Average students learned some word synonyms under all conditions except a noninstructional control condition. However, learning disabled students acquired fewer meanings across all conditions and seemed to require more direct instruction in order to produce learning. In both experiments, procedures which were differentially effective in teaching synonyms also produced differential transfer to sentence comprehension. The third experiment examined the effect of vocabulary instruction on comprehension of connected discourse. Again, vocabulary training transferred to comprehension of single sentences; however, on two of three measures of passage comprehension no effects were observed that were attributable to vocabulary instruction.

A program of research has combined the effectiveness of Direct Instruction curriculum design and mastery learning with the efficiency of technology to teach more cognitively complex skills. This article explains one example of this comprehensive intervention in detail. Findings from several studies are briefly reviewed. The purpose of this article is to document how such a comprehensive intervention reduces performance differences between students with learning disabilities and their peers, while using technology to minimize, or even reduce, the demands placed on the teacher.

This research was conducted due to the unavailability of textbook in lecture of Basic Physics 1. The aim of this research was to describe the response of students to basic physics textbook that contained the value of faith and piety and integrated with South Borneo local wisdom in the direct instruction model setting that has been developed. The method of this research was descriptive analytic. The subjects of the try out were 17 first-semester students of the Physics Education Department Faculty of Education and Teacher Training UIN Antasari Banjarmasin who participated in the Basic Physics 1 lecture in the 2018/2019 academic year. Data was obtained through student response questionnaires. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results showed that students' response to the content, appearance, and language of textbook were in the good criteria with an average score of 4.31 and 100% of students stated that they were interested in using the textbook. It could be concluded that the basic physics textbook integrated with faith, piety, and local wisdom in direct instruction model setting is feasible to use in the Basic Physics 1 lecture.

<p>This research examined the effect of teaching method and lecture program on student satisfaction rate and academic achievement of physics education department of Education and Teacher Training (FKIP) of Tanjungpura University, Pontianak. The descriptive method with the causal-comparative study was employed in this research. The sample was (232) respondents of fifth semester in academic year 2016/2017 which drawn by using unproportioned stratified random sampling technique. A questionnaire of lecturer academic service satisfaction was administered. Based on data analysis, the findings of this research are: (1) There is a significant difference of student's satisfaction rate with lecturers’ academic service (t = 5.455, p ‹ 0.05) and academic achievement (t = 4.149, p ‹ 0.05)  in terms of lecture method and direct instruction model. The students who having received direct instruction show higher on statisfaction rate and academic achevement than who having received lecture method; (2) There is a significant main effect of the lecture program on the rate of student satisfaction (F= 30.346, p ‹ 0.05) and on  students academic achievement (F= 15.646, p ‹ 0.05); (3) There is no significant interaction effect of the teaching method and lecture program on student satisfaction rate (F= 0.753, p › 0.05) and academic achievement (F= 0.326, p › 0.05). It recommends that an institution should undertake internal survey to explore student satisfaction with academic services periodically.</p><em></em>
