Keywords:
Mobile Application, Screening Test, Learning Disabilities in MathematicsAbstract
The objectives of this research were to 1) study the problems and needs of a screening test for kindergarten students at risk of learning disabilities in mathematics, 2) develop a mobile application for the screening test for kindergarten students at risk of learning disabilities in mathematics, and 3) study the satisfaction with the use of a mobile application for the screening test for kindergarten students at risk of learning disabilities in mathematics. The target group consisted of 50 kindergarten teachers to collect questionnaire data and 33 kindergarten teachers to use the mobile application. The research tools were questionnaires, a mobile application, and mobile application usage assessment forms. The statistics used in data analysis were mean and standard deviation. The research found that 1) the problems and needs regarding the screening test of kindergarten students at risk of learning disabilities in mathematics were at a moderate level (M=2.92, S.D.=1.44), 2) the development of the mobile application for the screening test for kindergarten students at risk of learning disabilities in mathematics had the following components: the first screen of the mobile application, registration system, explanation and consideration criteria, 20 screening items, and screening results. According to the evaluation results, the mobile application was at the highest level (M = 4.56, S.D. = 0.61). Techniques and design of the mobile application were at high level (M = 4.36, S.D. = 0.73), and 3) The results of the study showed that the satisfaction with the use of the mobile application for screening kindergarten students at risk of learning disabilities in mathematics was at the highest level (M=4.64, S.D.=0.41).
