Comparison of the effect of computer-based training with traditional Teaching on the mathematical performance of students with the mathematical disorders

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of computer-based training with traditional Teaching on mathematical performance of students with the mathematical disorders in Ahvaz city. The research method was an experimental-field method with pretest-posttest design and control group. The statistical population of the study included all students with the mathematical learning disorder in the age range of 8-9 years, Sample of the present study consisted of 60 subjects and three groups (two experimental groups and one control group) that were selected by simple random sampling from students with mathematical learning disorder referred to four centers of learning disorders in Ahvaz. The data were collected using the Iranian Key- Mathematical Test. The findings showed that both traditional and computer-based teaching methods improve the mathematical performance of students with mathematical disorders (F=8.052, P<0.01). However, descriptive data and averages indicated a more effective role for computer-based training in improving students' math performance.
