Overview

Randomized trial evaluates modified schema-based instruction to improve math skills in young adults, suggesting effective teaching methods.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess the effectiveness of modified schema-based instruction on improving mathematical problem-solving skills in students with extensive support needs.
  • Single-case nonconcurrent multiple baseline design across three participants
  • Focused on teaching percent increase word problems related to real-world purchasing
  • Measured generalization to community settings and skill maintenance
  • All three students showed an upward trend in independent problem-solving skills following the intervention
  • Students demonstrated improved generalization of skills to a community location like a coffee shop
  • Skills were maintained after mastering the intervention
