Melvyn I. Semmel

Melvyn I. Semmel is Professor and program leader of the Special Education Program at the University Of California at Santa Barbara. In adition, he is project director for Project TEECh, a four-year federally funded project designed to develop a data base of empirical research on the effectiveness of microcomputers in the education of mildry handicapped learners mildry handicapped learners. He is presently investigating how, variations in the envornments in which microcomputer instruction occurs affect outcomes for mildly handicapped children.

This review examines empirical evidence on the relationship between computer use and achievement in elementary aged mildly handicapped students. The studies reviewed consider the effectiveness of the computer as a supplement to, or as a replacement for, traditional instruction. Evidence indicates that the computer effectively augments teacher instruction, but that its effectiveness as a teacher substitute is less evident. The conclusion is that a new research paradigm is needed that focuses on the interaction between the characteristics of the computer and the nature of the environment, both around the computer itself and within the school.
