أثر برنامج تعليمي باستخدام السبورة الذكية في تحسين مستوى أداء الطلاب ذوي متلازمة داون في المهارات الأكاديمية

Abstract EN

Academic skills are among the essential skills that all children in general and children with down syndrome in particular need to acquire at the beginning of their school life.

the present study aimed to investigate the effect of an educational program using a smart board on improving academic skills (reading, writing and math) in a sample of (18) children with down syndrome in al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia.

the age of the participants ranged from (9 to 12) years, with a mean age of (10.78) years and a standard deviation of (± 1.19) years.

participants were randomly divided into two groups that were equal in number, chronological age, level of intelligence, and level of academic ability.

the academic ability scale for children with down syndrome and the educational program designed by the researcher served as research instruments.

the results show that there is a statistically significant difference at the significance level (< 0.01) between the mean ranks of the scores of the first experimental group on the academic ability scale and its dimensions in the pre-and post-measurement in favor of the post-measurement.

in addition, there is a statistically significant difference at the significance level (< 0.01) between the mean ranks of the scores of the second experimental group on the academic skills scale and its dimensions in the pre-and post-measurements in favor of the post-measurement.

in addition, the results showed a statistically significant difference at the significance level (< 0.01) between the mean ranks of the scores of the first and second experimental groups on the scale of academic skills and its dimensions in the post measurement in favor of the first experimental group.
