Mj. Lee et Dh. Tingstrom, A GROUP MATH INTERVENTION - THE MODIFICATION OF COVER, COPY, AND COMPARE FOR GROUP APPLICATION, Psychology in the schools, 31(2), 1994, pp. 133-145
A drill and practice intervention was applied in a small-group setting
to improve students' fluency (accuracy and speed) with basic math fac
ts. The Cover, Copy, and Compare intervention (Skinner, Turco, Be-atty
, & Rasavage, 1989) was modified and implemented with a small, middle
school Chapter I math class. Data are presented showing digits correct
per minute (DCPM) using a multiple baseline design across sets of div
ision facts. Component parts of DCPM, speed and accuracy, are further
discussed. Results of this study provide the scientist-practitioner wi
th ideas about implementing group interventions using drill for math f
acts. Ways to refine the intervention based on baseline data are discu
ssed.
