Abstract Details

2011, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, EDU Physical Activity and Educational Services.
Although it is well-documented that vocabulary instruction can affect student achievement in many areas of literacy, there is a paucity of research on the most effective ways of explicitly teaching vocabulary to high school students with disabilities. One strategy, morphemic analysis, holds great potential for increasing student vocabulary knowledge in an efficient manner. An important component skill of morphemic analysis is the knowledge of morpheme definitions. Very few studies have investigated direct teaching of morpheme definitions in isolation. The current study examined the effects of GO FASTER, a direct teaching package, on the acquisition of morpheme definitions to a pre-determined fluency level. Participants were five high school seniors with high incidence disabilities. A multiple baseline across morpheme sets experimental design was used to investigate the effectiveness of the intervention package. GO FASTER included multiple evidence-based practices: scripted direct teaching procedure with graphic organizers, fluency timings, and self-graphing. The results support the use of GO FASTER in teaching students morpheme definitions to a fluent level. Effects on generalization and maintenance, implications for practice, and future research are also discussed.
