Research on General-Case Procedures for Learners with Severe Disabilities.

摘要: The application of Direct Instruction (DI) procedures for general-case programming to learners with severe disabilities provides an effective and efficient instructional technology generalization in applied settings. This paper: (a) presents overview the DI principles guidelines that define (b) reviews recent research findings related generalcase instruction disabilities. Instructional implications this ★ Generalization responding is a major issue confronting their teachers (Horner, Dunlap, & Koegel, 1988; Stokes Baer, 1977). Current trends special education emphasize lifestyle people includes living, learning, working, playing integrated, natural community environments Meyer, Fredericks, 1986). focus on normalized lifestyles highlights critical importance generalization, ability respond correctly nontrained settings conditions Sprague, Wilcox, 1982). characterized by variability, new skills will affect how someone lives only if they occur across range situations, often variety response variations. proven emphasizes building generalized (Becker Engelmann, 1978). Although typically associated teaching academic such as math, reading, language, has documented utility living work intellectual (Albin, Horner, 1987). labeled "general-case programming" are based idea some members stimulus class can result correct all class. paper two objectives: present underlie disabilities, review instruction. material presented here draws heavily from content several book chapters more fully describe rationale, principles, guidelines, support (Albin Albin, McDonnell, 1987; Bellamy,
