Summary

BM-PROMA 是一种有效可靠的多媒体诊断工具,可为数学学习障碍儿童提供完整的认知特征。

Abstract

学习数学是一个复杂的过程,需要发展多个域通用和特定域的技能。因此,许多儿童难以保持年级水平并不出人意料,当这两个领域的几个能力受到损害时,这变得特别困难,例如数学学习障碍(MLD)。令人惊讶的是,虽然MLD是影响学童的最常见的神经发育障碍之一,但现有的大多数诊断仪器不包括对域名一般和特定领域技能的评估。此外,很少有计算机化。据我们所知,没有适合讲西班牙语的儿童的这些功能的工具。本研究的目的是描述使用BM-PROMA多媒体电池诊断西班牙MLD儿童的程序。BM-PROMA 有助于对这两个技能领域的评估,为此目的包括的 12 项任务都是基于经验证据的。展示了BM-PROMA及其多维内部结构的强大内部一致性。BM-PROMA 被证明是在初等教育期间诊断患有 MLD 的儿童的适当工具。它为孩子提供了广泛的认知特征,这不仅与诊断相关,而且与个性化教学规划相关。

Introduction

初等教育的关键目标之一是获得数学技能。这些知识是非常相关的,因为我们都在日常生活中使用数学,例如,计算超市1,2的变化。因此,数学成绩不佳的后果超出了学术范畴。在社会一级,人口中数学表现不佳的普遍现象给社会造成损失。有证据表明,人口中糟糕的数字技能的提高为一个国家节省了大量开支。在个人层面上也有负面后果。例如,那些数学技能水平低的人,职业发展欠佳(例如,低薪体力职业的就业率较高,失业率较高)4、5、6,经常报告对学者的负面社会情绪反应(例如焦虑、对学术动机低)7、8,并且往往比平均数学成就为9的同龄人表现出较差的身心健康。数学学习障碍(MLD)的学生表现非常差,持续10,11,12。因此,他们更有可能遭受上述后果,特别是如果这些没有及时诊断13。

MLD是一种神经生物学障碍,其特点是学习基本数值技能严重受损,尽管有足够的智力能力和学校教育14。虽然这一定义被广泛接受,但鉴定的文书和标准仍在讨论之中。MLD诊断缺乏普遍协议的一个很好的例证是报告的流行率,从3到10%16,17,18,19,20,21。诊断的这种困难源于数学知识的复杂性,这就要求在22、23年学习多个域名一般和域特定技能的组合。MLD儿童表现出非常不同的认知特征,有广泛的赤字星座14,24,25,26,27。在这方面,有人建议,需要通过涉及不同数字表示(即口头、阿拉伯语、类比)和算术技能的任务进行多维评估

在小学时,MLD的症状多种多样。在域名特定技能方面,人们不断发现,许多 MLD 学生在基本数值技能方面表现出困难,例如快速准确地识别阿拉伯数字28、29、30,比较震级31、32或表示数字行33、34。小学生在理解概念知识方面也表现出困难,如地点值35、算术知识36,或通过有序序列37测得的平度。关于域名一般技能,特别注重工作记忆38、39和语言40在有和没有MLD的儿童数学技能的发展中的作用。在工作记忆方面,结果显示,MLD的学生在中央行政机构中表现出不足,尤其是在需要操纵数字信息41,42时。在MLD43,44的儿童中,也经常报告存在病毒空间短期记忆缺陷。语言技能是学习算术技能的先决条件,尤其是那些涉及高语言处理需求的技能。例如,语音处理技能(例如,语音意识和快速自动化命名(RAN)与小学时学到的基本技能密切相关,如数值处理或算术计算39、45、46、47。在这里,已经证明,语音意识和RAN的变化与个人在算术技能的差异,涉及管理口头代码42,48。鉴于 MLD 儿童的复杂状况,诊断工具最好包括评估域名一般技能和特定域位技能的任务,据报道,这些技能在这些儿童中往往存在缺陷。

近年来,为MLD开发了几种纸笔筛选工具。西班牙小学生最常用的是 a)埃瓦马泰利亚·巴泰利亚·马泰马蒂卡竞争中心(数学能力评价电池)49:b) 泰迪数学:数学残疾诊断评估测试(西班牙语改编)50:c)测试德埃卢阿西翁马特马蒂卡坦普拉纳德乌得勒支(TEMT-U)5152, 乌得勒支早期算术测试53的西班牙语版本:d) 早期数学能力测试 (TEMA-3)54.这些文书衡量上述许多特定领域的技能:但是,他们都没有评估域名一般技能。这些仪器和一般纸和铅笔工具的另一个限制是,它们无法提供有关每个物品处理的准确性和自动性的信息。这只能用电脑电池。然而,很少有应用程序已经开发为计算障碍诊断。第一个计算机化的工具,旨在识别儿童(6至14岁)与MLD是Dyscalculia筛选器55。几年后,基于网络的DyscalculiUm56的开发目的相同,但侧重于16岁以后教育中的成年人和学习者。虽然仍然有限,但近年来对MLD诊断的计算机化工具设计的兴趣与日俱增。所提及的工具都没有为西班牙儿童标准化,其中只有一个工具 -MathPro 测试57– 包括域名一般技能评估。鉴于识别数学成就低的儿童,特别是那些有MLD的儿童的重要性,以及西班牙人口缺乏计算机化仪器,我们提出了一个多媒体评估协议,其中包括域名通用和特定领域的技能。

Protocol

这项议定书是根据拉古纳大学 “双星动物 研究伦理和动物福利委员会”提供的准则执行的。 注: 巴泰利亚多媒体公司 使用 Unity 2.0 专业版和 SQLITE 数据库引擎开发了61。 BM-PROMA 包括 12 个子测试:8 个子测试以评估特定域的技能,4 个子测试以评估域名一般流程。对于每个子测试,由动画类人机器人口头提供说明,并在测试阶段之前进行演示和两?…

Representative Results

为了测试这种诊断工具的效用和有效性,在大规模样本中对其心理特征进行了分析。共有933名西班牙小学生(男孩=508,女孩=425; M年龄 = 10 岁 ,SD = 1.36), 从 2 年级到 6 年级 (2 年级, N = 169 [89 男孩]; 3 年级, N = 170 [89 男孩]; 4 年级, N = 187 [106 男孩]; 5 年级, N = 203 [113 男孩]; 6 年级, N= 204 [110 男孩]参加了这项研究。这些儿童来自圣克鲁斯…

Discussion

患有MLD的儿童不仅有学业失败的危险,而且有精神情绪和健康障碍的风险,8、9和后来的就业剥夺4,5。因此,必须迅速诊断MLD,以便提供这些儿童所需要的教育支助。然而,诊断MLD是复杂的,由于多个域特定和域一般技能缺陷,导致紊乱22,23。BM-PROMA 是少数使用?…
