DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purposes of these Phase I and II projects are to test the feasibility and efficacy of using an interactive multimedia (IM) format for providing comprehensive vocabulary instruction to students with high incidence disabilities (HID). To evaluate the feasibility of this type of instruction software programs will be designed to teach common prefixes, suffixes, and words parts; two research-validated vocabulary learning strategies; and provide multiple opportunities for students to apply their knowledge of word parts and use of learned strategies to high frequency academic vocabulary. Validated instructional principles such as detailed description and multiple levels of practice with feedback will be embedded into each segment of the programs. Segments will include an overview of the strategy, rationale for learning and purpose of using the strategy, detailed descriptions of each steps, video clips of students using the strategy in real testing situations, practice activities, and checks for understanding. To test the efficacy of the programs, revisions to each program will be made based on findings of the feasibility studies. Once revisions are completed, full-blown field tests for each IM program will be completed with approximately 120 middle and high school students with HID. The feasibility and validation studies will focus on (a) usability of the program, (b) student knowledge of the content and skills, (c) student use of the content and skills, (d) social validity of the program, and (e) social validity of the model. This project is relevant to public health because the number of individuals with low literacy skills is substantial. Particularly, many students with high incidence disabilities struggle with various aspects of reading and literacy-related skills. A large number of these students will either drop-out of school or continue to struggle throughout their school careers and into adulthood. Low literacy has been associated with such poor adult outcomes as under- and unemployment, increased criminal activity, and poverty. The empirically validated IM products that will result from this project will address the potentially devastating effects that low literacy can cause in children's lives and in society at large. Since vocabulary development is seen as a bridge between emerging reading skills and comprehension, this project has the potential to help many students expand their literacy skills. The instruction would be used to help them learn common words parts, independently remember meanings of new words, and expand their use of new words, and apply their skills to hundreds of new high-frequency, high-utility words. The instructional programs that will result from this project will be usable as literacy intervention programs based on individual needs. In addition, the proposed programs will serve as a model for the development of future IM programs for individuals with high incidence disabilities.

描述（由申请人提供）：这些第一阶段和第二阶段项目的目的是测试使用交互式多媒体（IM）格式为高发残疾（HID）学生提供全面词汇教学的可行性和有效性。为了评估此类教学的可行性，将设计软件程序来教授常见的前缀、后缀和单词部分；两种经过研究验证的词汇学习策略；并为学生提供多种机会将他们的单词部分知识和所学策略运用到高频学术词汇中。经过验证的教学原则，例如详细描述和带反馈的多层次实践将嵌入到课程的每个部分中。各个部分将包括策略概述、学习原理和使用策略的目的、每个步骤的详细描述、学生在实际测试情况下使用该策略的视频剪辑、练习活动以及理解检查。为了测试计划的有效性，将根据可行性研究的结果对每个计划进行修订。一旦修订完成，每个 IM 项目的全面现场测试将由大约 120 名患有 HID 的初中和高中学生完成。可行性和验证研究将侧重于（a）计划的可用性，（b）学生对内容和技能的了解，（c）学生对内容和技能的使用，（d）计划的社会有效性，以及（e） ）模型的社会有效性。该项目与公共卫生相关，因为识字技能较低的人数很多。特别是，许多患有高发残疾的学生在阅读和识字相关技能的各个方面都存在困难。这些学生中的许多人要么辍学，要么在整个求学生涯和成年后继续挣扎。识字率低与成年后的不良后果有关，如低收入和失业、犯罪活动增加和贫困。该项目将产生经过实证验证的 IM 产品，将解决识字率低可能对儿童生活和整个社会造成的潜在破坏性影响。由于词汇发展被视为新兴阅读技能和理解能力之间的桥梁，因此该项目有可能帮助许多学生扩展他们的读写技能。该教学将帮助他们学习常用单词部分，独立记住新单词的含义，扩展他们对新单词的使用，并将他们的技能运用到数百个高频、高效用的新单词中。该项目产生的教学计划将可用作基于个人需求的扫盲干预计划。此外，拟议的项目将作为未来为高发残疾个体开发 IM 项目的模型。
