Abstract
The study goal was to examine the improvement of participation and
motivation level in mathematic lessons among students with Intellectual
Disability (ID) with a comparison between traditional intervention and
technological intervention with Optimusic (therapeutic tool that builds on the
principle of stimulus-response). 40 students participated in this research, half
in each research group, they learned once a week a mathematic lesson during
10 weeks. One group learned with the technological tool Optimusic, while
the second group learned the same lesson in a non-technological traditional
way. In order to examine the participation level pre-post intervention we used
CPQ questionnaire. In order to examine the motivation level we used IMI.
Findings showed improvement in the participation and motivation level
among students that experienced the technological intervention vs. traditional
intervention. We recommend examining the tool’s efficiency in different
lessons and additional settings.
