EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN MENTAL RETARDATION AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
This article describes the field-test results of the Self-Determined Learni
ng Model of Instruction, a model of teaching designed to enable teachers to
teach students to set goals, take action on those goals, and adjust their
goals and plans as needed. Nineteen students, most of whom had intellectual
disabilities, participated in the field test. Seventeen of the 19 students
made dramatic changes from baseline to intervention conditions, at levels
that exceeded teachers' expectations. Additionally, social validation data
obtained from both the students and the participating teachers supported th
e utility of the model. The implications of the field test are discussed.
