Innovative Techniques

BACKGROUND Innovative techniques for teaching to students with intellectual disabilities are applied across the world, since conventional methods do not work efficaciously for them. In this investigation, an innovative method was applied to teach simple mathematics problems to students with intellectual disability. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of physical education (PE) games on mathematics achievements in a sample of students with intellectual disabilities in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. METHODS Participants of this study were 34 students with intellectual disabilities from inclusive middle school in Riyadh city. Participants were randomly recruited and, based on severity of their intellectual disability, allocated to an experimental and a control group. The former studied mathematics in PE classes, whereas the control group studied mathematics in pure mathematics classrooms. RESULTS Results showed significant improvements in post- versus pre-test in both groups. However, participants in the experimental group reported higher improvements compared to the participants in the control group. CONCLUSIONS The present investigation seems to recommend the importance of using PE games during classes to improve learning skills, especially mathematics ones.

The Impact

Background: In the population of people with intellectual disabilities (ID) there is a frequent occurrence of bone deformities and orthopedic problems affecting the feet as well. They are associated with a change of the loading of the feet. It affects the deterioration of the functional efficiency of the feet, often contributes to discomfort, pain and predisposes to the development of adverse changes in the upper body segments. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of intellectual disability in participants with aetiology other than Down’s syndrome on longitudinal arching and symmetry of lateral and medial load of the foot. Materials and methods: There were 38 participants with mild and moderate intellectual disability, with an average age of 23 years and 44 young non-disabled people with an average age of 20.8 under research. The main measurement tool used to assess the arching and loading the foot zones was the BTS P-WALK platform. The measurement included analysis in terms of statics and lasted 30s. Results: The comparison of both groups showed no significant differentiation in the medial and lateral load of the forefoot and rearfoot. Among people with ID correct arches of the feet were observed in 52.6% of participants in the right foot and 57.9% of the left foot, while in the control group in 56.9% in both the right and left foot. People with intellectual disabilities were characterized by a higher rate of flatfoot in relation to the control group. The hollow foot was more frequently observed in control group than in people with ID. Conclusions: In people with intellectual disabilities with aetiology other than Down’s syndrome, flat feet are diagnosed more often than in healthy peers who do not differ in body weight and BMI. Intellectual disability is associated with a greater loading of the medial part of the forefoot.

Significant Difference

Aim. Children with developmental disabilities generally experience more pain than the normal children. Description of pain is generally difficult in children and more so in children with intellectual disabilities. The study aimed at evaluating dental pain in children with intellectual disabilities. Methods. The survey was carried out in an institution caring for intellectually disabled children to determine the oral health status and the treatment needs of the special kids. 236 children were surveyed out of which the test group is comprised of 111 intellectually disabled children and the control group had 125 normal children with age ranging between five to eighteen years. A questionnaire was presented to the caregivers to elaborate about dental pain in their wards using the dental discomfort questionnaire (DDQ+). The children were examined for dental caries and periodontal status based on the WHO indices for oral hygiene status. Result. Results revealed a statistically significant difference between intellectual disability and brushing, chewing, and earache. The frequency of reporting dental pain was lesser in the intellectually disabled group. Conclusion. Children with intellectual disability tended to report dental pain of any nature with lesser frequency than typically developing peers. They also faced greater difficulty in brushing and chewing.

Chinese Idioms

The purpose of this study was to develop a curriculum that combines Chinese idioms and self-determination components, and evaluate its effectiveness in enhancing the self-determination of students with intellectual disabilities. Participants were 85 students with an intellectual disability in 10th to 12th grade, selected from 2 vocational high schools located in northern Taiwan and randomly assigned to either a control group or an intervention group that received Chinese-Idiom Self-Determination Curriculum (CISDC) instruction. To assess student progress I used Arc's Self-Determination Scale and the Self-Determination Scale for Taiwanese Students, and the participants' teachers and parents completed the Self-Determination Assessment Scale-Teacher/Parent Form. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of covariance, and repeated measures analysis of variance. Results show that the diverse teaching methods and content of the CISDC could help to compensate for the cognitive impairment of high school students with an intellectual disability, enabling them to learn self-determination skills by discussing, exploring, and reflecting in the process of reading Chinese idiom stories.

Literature reviews offer evidence for using systematic instruction to teach students with intellectual disabilities in mathematics. A new approach in teaching mathematical skills is to provide quantity–number competencies (QNC). However, this approach has not yet been examined in people with intellectual disabilities.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a QNC training based on the developmental model by Krajewski (2008) in students with intellectual disabilities.Based on their cognitive and mathematical abilities, 25 children with intellectual disabilities were assigned to one of two experimental conditions. The training group received a QNC training, whereas the control group received a language skills training.The posttest findings indicate that the gains in mathematics competence in the QNC training group were substantially larger than in the control condition. However, the QNC training group could not keep up their advancement of competency until to the follow-up conducted 3 months afterwards.

The purpose of writing this article is to find out the optimization of traditional gobak sodor neuroscience learning-based game activities as character education in intellectual disability with grade medium (ATG). Referring to the problems, most schools do not have policies and administrations regarding character education, most schools that have an environment that supports the implementation of character education, most teachers do not have good knowledge and attitude in character education, most teachers do not have good competence, most schools have used the curriculum and most teachers have not used assessments that are suitable for children.  Character education and most of the community has not supported the course of character education. The purpose of writing this article is to find out the optimization of traditional "gobak sodor" neuroscience learning-based game activities as character education in children ATG. The method used in writing this article is the study of non-systematic literature from national & international database. Based on the concept of a previous relevant frame of mind, schema, and research, it can be concluded that there will be optimization of traditional "gobak sodor" game activities based on neuroscience learning as character education in children. Optimization of adaptive physical education learning can occur through synergistic contributions through neuroscience learning in traditional games and character education of lightly impaired children. The results of adaptation of these mechanisms are able to reduce the barriers of cognitive domains, practice domains, and social domains of lightly impaired children.
