| Research Abstract |
In this sutudy, the authors developed an multimedia teaching module on educational computing for special education teachers to enhance in-service training program in special education field. The module contains both descriptions and video clips of 74 educational software programs, well developed by special education teachers, for the learning of children with special needs as well as a review article of educational software in special education. The authors choose HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) as the programming language, because it will be very easy for users to execute the modules using various types of computers as well as to deliver through the Internet. In the evaluation study 1, the subjects consisted of 27 special school teachers. The authors used semantic defferential method on images of computers to the subjects. Four adjective pairs to computers were used, (1) "difficult-easy", (2) "machine like-human like", (3) "hard-soft"and (4) "dislike-like", and each pairs evaluated by a seven rating scale. The results of pre-post tests suggested that the module was effective for them ("difficult-easy" : t-test, p<0.01 ; "machine like-human like" : t-test, 0.05<p<0.1.). It was suggested that the multimedia teaching module was erfective for teachers in special education, though it should be improved interms of usability.
The Authors also developed Infrared remote control module for PC,based on GIDEI : General Input Device Emulating Interface, which allows learners to use the Multimedia module easily.
