Problem-Solving Tasks on the Microcomputer

A Look at the Performance of Students with Learning Disabilities

Sara Olin Zimmerman

Previous research has shown that students with learning disabilities (LD) and other low achieving students may perform differently on cognitive tasks when compared to their normally achieving peers. This study was completed in order to specifically examine possible areas of strengths and deficiencies in the problem-solving abilities of students with LD. Using the microcomputer as an assessment tool the study measured the performances of students with and without learning disabilities. The results of this investigation indicated that there are similarities between these groups. This was established when the performance scores of the two groups fell within a common range. The paper concludes with implications for identification and educational practices, as well as comments on future research.
