Impact of Tactile-Cued Self-Monitoring on Independent Biology Work for Secondary Students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Journal of College Teaching & Learning, v11 n4 p181-196 2014
Results from a multiple baseline with changing conditions design across high school students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) indicated that the students increased the percentage of independent work they completed in their general education biology class after learning tactile-cued self-monitoring. Students maintained high percentages for completed work when the rate of tactile cues was faded from 1 per minute to 1 every 5 minutes, as well as when all tactile cues were withdrawn during a short-term maintenance phase. Moreover, the students increased their correctly completed work from percentages substantially lower than the mean of their classmates to percentages that matched and surpassed the mean of their classmates. Qualitative data indicated that the participants and their co-teachers approved of the tactile-cued self-monitoring procedures. Results confirm and extend prior research findings that students improve performance during independent tasks after learning how to use tactile-cued self-monitoring and that students maintain improvements when the tactile cues are systematically faded. Although this research was conducted in a secondary school setting, the method also could be applied to higher education. Postsecondary disability resource center personnel might consider MotivAider use for students with ADHD and other disabilities that affect the capacity to stay on task.
