ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Semantics-Based-Representation Instruction(SBRI) on the arithmetic word problems solving performance of students with LA(low achievement) and MLD(mathematics learning disabilities) in elementary school and examine developmental patterns of their the arithmetic word problems solving performance. Twenty-eight elementary students in grade 3 were participated and assigned to the two treatment conditions(experimental group and control group). Experimental group was received SBRI twice a week for 8 weeks and tested once two week. The collected data was analyzed by t-test and HLM(Hierarchical Linear Model). The results of this study were as following: Firstly, the differences between groups' performance to solve the arithmetic word problems on the posttest were statistically significant, favoring SBR group. Secondly, in the respect of the trajectory models and the performance levels, developmental patterns of both groups' the arithmetic-word-problems-solving performance were not consistent but dramatically diverse. SBR group showed higher performance level and faster rates of growth than tradition group. However, performance level difference of both groups' arithmetic-word-problems solving was not significant.
