The Case Study Of Making Adjustments To Mathematics Curriculum Content For Students With Mild Disability In Regular Classes

With the development of special education, our government and other researchers’focus is shifing from improving the acceptance rate of the nine-year compulsory education for children with special needs to improve the quality of education in the regular class. To improve the quality of education,we must firstly meet the educational needs of students, we must consider whether the curriculum content appropriate to their ability level.On one hand,our country has not the inclusive curriculum for students Learning in regular class;On the other hand,the researches on curriculum adjustmentmore stay at the theoretical level than practices,this affects the academic level of students learning in regular class.Therefore,the study selected two Stdents with Mild Intellectual Disability Learning in Regular Class and one Math teacher in Shanghai as the object of study, based on the current situation on the adjustment to mathematic curriculut content,with assessment tools to identify the accessible the fourth grade Math curriculum for students in regular class.Then,learn from the research results at home and abroad,the researcher adjust implement the mathematic curriculum content,the results are as follows:First,cases are not suited to the Ordinary School mathematics curriculum content,the Mathematics Academic Standard is too low and have individual differences. Xiaotian’s Academic Standard presented the trend of "with the rise of grade,the scoring rate declines", and each semester did not meet the standard;While Xiaohe is oppisite with Xiaotian,her Academic Standard presented the trend of "with the rise of grade,the scoring rate rises",and can acquire too much knowledge.Second, the current situation of adjustment to Mathematics Curriculum Content for cases is not satisfactory. Although the teacher had advanced some method of adjust to the curriculum content, such as reducing the learning requirements, deleting some curriculum content and adjusting to the exercises and papers,they are not really implemented, just stay at the level of consciousness.Third,the adjustment of curriculum content for cases:determine to the content,adjust,implement and evaluate. The research used the assessment tools to determine to the content included remedial konwledge and the knowledge in Grade four,each one had 146 and 136 knowledge points constitute of their curriculum content. Adjustment emphasised on individuation,the ways to adjust are based on the characteristics, including increase basic knowledge, refine or disintegrate targets,reduce the academic ruquirement,delete some knowledge and so on,then the advice on teaching is offered.The adjusted curriculum is implemented by the teacher and the researcher,the researcher used exercises written by the researcher to implement the remedial teaching,the exercises are different in questions number and difficulty,knowledge focus,ruquirement and so on;The teacher is responsible for teaching the knowledge from Grade four,while the researcher offers some counseling.Finally, the research verif the effect of adiustment:On the implementation of the adjustment program, the researcher fully implemented all adjustment programs, but the teacher rarely implemented, about half adjustment programs has not been effectively implemented; on the academic development, the cases’academic level has improved in Grade two and three, while the academic level in Grade four is lower than the estimated level of teacher. In addition,the adjustment affected the student’s classroom learning, the non-academic behavior gradually reduced, while the academic behavior gradually increased,and the awareness of active learning is also being formed.Fourth, form the adjustment program of adjsting the Mathematics curriculum content for students in rugular class.To achieve the adjustment the Mathematics curriculum content for students in rugular classes,the following steps are included:Assess the students’academic level of Mathematics and the current situation of adjustment of mathematics curriculum adjustment; Determine the the content of Mathematics curriculum for students;Adjust the the content of Mathematics curriculum for students;implement the adjusted the content of Mathematics curriculum;The last is assessing the effect of the implementation of the adjusted of Mathematics curriculum content.
