ABSTRACT Students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) typically do not perform at the expected levels of academic achievement. Tangible mobile applications are learning devices that allow for physical engagement and multisensory interaction. They present as promising tools to facilitate learning for students with SLD. This study explored the use of a tangible mobile application for assisting three seventh-grade Turkish students with SLD to learn scientific principles regarding cell concepts. A multiple-probe design across participants was used to examine the effectiveness of a tangible mobile application. In addition, issues related to usability of the application were also explored. The overall results of the study showed that the tangible mobile application was effective, and the students with SLD were willing to use this application, enjoyed the process, and used the application and objects easily/correctly.

为有特定学习障碍的学生评估有形的移动应用程序

摘要 有特定学习障碍 (SLD) 的学生通常不会达到预期的学业成绩水平。有形的移动应用程序是允许身体参与和多感官交互的学习设备。它们是促进 SLD 学生学习的有前途的工具。本研究探讨了使用有形移动应用程序帮助三名患有 SLD 的土耳其七年级学生学习有关细胞概念的科学原理。跨参与者的多探针设计用于检查有形移动应用程序的有效性。此外，还探讨了与应用程序可用性相关的问题。研究的整体结果表明，有形的移动应用程序是有效的，有 SLD 的学生愿意使用这个应用程序，
