One to One process analysis of Learning Disability Tutorial Sessions

Abstract

The major aim of this project was to develop a research technique in order to observe, study, and process analyze the behavior of children with learning disabilities in one-to-one teacher-child tutorial situations. The purpose was to isolate those effective elements (and the non-effective elements) in the teaching process which help (or hinder) learning of the presented subject matter. These objectives were achieved by devising or adopting an array of observational procedures, team judgment categories and standards, single person statistical techniques, and pretesting and posttesting. For brevity, the overall research technique is called the “One-to-One Process Analysis System.” This is Part I of the final report o f the research project. Part II will appear in October; Part III will appear in the November issue of this publication.
