Use of Computer Assisted Instruction as an Innovative Tool for Remedial Teaching of Children with Figure Constancy type of Learning Disability

Abstract

The National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) have been envisaged as a centrally sponsored scheme to leverage the potential of ICT, in teaching and learning process for the benefit of all the learners in primary level to higher education level in any time anywhere mode. For the enhancement of school education through information and communication technology, the study investigated whether educational games and videos as remedial teaching for children with image or figure constancy type of learning disability (FCLD) among fifth grade students. The study adopted the pre-test-post-test-control group design. Simple random sample of sixty four students were drawn from seven schools in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India. The researcher coordinates the educational games and videos for children with FCLD which was used as an instrument for experimental group while control group were exposed to traditional teaching method. The instrument for data collection was diagnostic test of learning disability DTLD Test. The t-test statis- tics was used to analyze the hypothesis. The findings revealed that experimental group performed better than the control group. The study found to be use of educational games and videos were better than traditional method on fifth grade FCLD students.
