Abstract

The general purpose of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of simultaneous prompting embedded in activities for teaching preparatory skills to children with developmental disabilities. Furthermore, determining the perspectives of the teachers about the skills taught to the participants and also to themselves were targeted. Depending on the performance and characteristics of the participants and the observations conducted in the classroom, three skills were determined to be taught to three children with developmental disabilities. The effectiveness of simultaneous prompting embedded into teaching activities for teaching these skills to children with developmental disabilities was planned. A multiple probe design across behaviors was used and replicated across subjects. Also, the perspectives of the teachers about the skills taught to the participants and themselves were determined through interviews conducted by the researchers. The participants of the study had Down syndrome with an age range of 36-44 months. The target skills taught to the participants were: (a) following two step instructions provided in group activities, (b) participating in group activities by raising his/her hand, and (c) nodding the head when asked “Do you want …?”. The effectiveness results of the study revealed that all three participants acquired the target skills at criterion level. Moreover, two of the participants maintained the skills in the inclusive environments where they were placed seven weeks after the study was completed. Furthermore, the social validity data revealed that the preschool teachers of the two participants were very pleased about having the participants in their classes, the participants’ skills acquisitions and also about being informed about inclusion and children with special needs at the beginning of the school year.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın genel amacı, okulöncesi dönemde kaynaştırma ortamına yerleştirilecek gelişimsel yetersizlik gösteren çocuklara, kaynaştırmaya hazırlık becerilerinin öğretiminde etkinlikler içine gömülen eşzamanlı ipucuyla öğretimin etkilerinin ve öğretmenlerin sınıflarına yerleştirilen gelişimsel yetersizlik gösteren çocuklara ve onlara öğretilen kaynaştırmaya hazırlık becerilerine ilişkin görüşlerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Araştırmada tek-denekli araştırma modellerinden yoklama evreli çoklu yoklama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada yaşları 36 ay ile 44 ay arasında değişen Down Sendromlu üç denek ile çalışılmıştır. Deneklere öğretilen hedef davranışlar (a) grup etkinliklerinde sunulan iki basamaklı yönergeleri takip etme, (b) grup halinde yapılan etkinliklere parmak kaldırarak katılma ve (c) “……. istiyor musun?” sorusuna başını sallayarak cevap verme becerileridir. Araştırmanın etkililik bulguları, gelişimsel yetersizlik gösteren üç deneğin de kaynaştırmaya hazırlık becerilerini ölçütü karşılar düzeyde öğrendiklerini göstermiştir. Ayrıca deneklerden ikisinin öğrendikleri kaynaştırmaya hazırlık becerilerini, yerleştirildikleri okulöncesi kaynaştırma ortamında araştırmanın uygulamasının tamamlanmasından sonraki yedi hafta boyunca yürütülen izleme oturumlarında korudukları gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca sosyal geçerlik bulgularına baktığımızda, öğretmenler sınıflarında gelişimsel yetersizlik gösteren çocukların bulunmasına, sınıflarına yerleştirilen gelişimsel yetersizlik gösteren çocuklara kaynaştırmaya hazırlık becerilerinin kaynaştırma ortamına geçiş yapmadan önce öğretilmesine ve kendilerine bilgilendirme çalışması yapılmış olmasına ilişkin olumlu görüşler belirtmişlerdir.
