“…Training teachers in the principles and procedures of ABA is challenging because such training involves both academic knowledge of ABA and development of proficiency in actual implementation (Granpeesheh et al, 2010;Schloss & Smith, 1998). Thus, it is this lack of training and preparation that likely discourages special education teachers from implementing an ABA strategy (Schloss & Smith, 1998;Khaleel, 2019).…”

“…The sample included 120 special education teachers in private schools who teach students with ASD. A statistically significant difference in the result was found in total degrees of importance of using a variety of ABA practices among the participants due to receiving training previously (Khaleel, 2019). ABA practices found to be effective in improving students with ASD abilities and skills (Cooper et al, 2020;Khaleel, 2019;Makrygianni et al, 2018).…”

Students with disabilities, especially those with Autism Spectrum Disorder, are more likely to display problem behaviors in the classroom for a variety of reasons. Applied Behavior Analysis is one of the most effective practices for managing such behaviors. This study aims to examine special education teachers’ perspectives of behavior management strategies such as those of ABA in Saudi Arabia. Five special education teachers teaching students with autism in Saudi Arabia were interviewed to ascertain their perspectives on behavior management strategies and Applied Behavior Analysis practices. This qualitative study investigated the challenges they faced coping with students with autism exhibiting problem behaviors and their understanding of the most common strategies used for behavior management. Finally, the study discusses the understanding of one of the most effective evidence-based practices—Applied Behavior Analysis—and the insight it provides into in-service teacher support programs from the teachers’ perspectives. Implications and directions for future research are provided as well.

“…The devices of this type that are more frequently used are Wii from Nintendo (Lee, 2008), MS-Kinect from Microsoft, and Sony's PS Move. Additionally, it is urgent to carry out training courses for professors on the applied behavior analysis strategies and their applications (Khaleel, 2019). 2017b), has aroused the interest of many researchers and developers who study the possible uses of said technology with a computer.…”

By its nature, the learning of certain complex contents has always been a focus of attention and a challenge in the study of mathematics. This fact acquires greater importance if it is about the learning of children, because the psycho-cognitive skills of this type of user, especially when they attend the first levels of Basic General Education are not yet mature. As a result, children are unable to assimilate correctly and easily certain content of an abstract nature during the early stages of mathematics learning. This study presents the results of the application of a computer system called "Kinect based Augmented Reality Math Learning System -KARMLS", whose design and development uses the Augmented Reality technology and the motion sensor implemented in MS-Kinect camera. The developed application covers elementary math topics corresponding to the Basic General Education curriculum of the Republic of Ecuador. The study used an experimental quantitative approach, involving 29 third-grade children (13 girls and 16 boys), who attend to 2 Basic General Education schools in Riobamba city, Ecuador. The results that allowed to evaluate the prototype proposed in the study were obtained by means of a pretest and a posttest, which were contrasted with the students' t-test for paired samples. Through the analysis of data obtained and the discussion, it is concluded that the applied computer system had a positive effect for the learning when used as a supplementary tool in the classroom and that it was more effective in children who previously had low performance than with those of high performance. Also, the children were motivated and with positive attitudes regarding the use of the analyzed software.

“…The interaction with the software becomes simple for users because it is like they were in their daily environment [2]. On the other hand, there is an urgent need to train teachers to handle these types of applications, including topics on behavior analysis strategies [3], and their application in an educational context.…”

The way in which the human being learns certain complex contents has always been a focus of interest and a challenge for researchers. Given the fact that children's cognitive abilities do not fully develop until a certain age, this topic is particularly important in the young children's learning scope as they do not correctly and easily learn some content of abstract nature, such as contents in math class. This work presents the results of the use of an application called "Mathematics Learning System with Augmented Reality based on Kinect" (SAM-RAK by its acronym in Spanish), which was designed to cover basic topics of mathematics in the Basic General Education level (EGB by its acronym in Span-ish) in Ecuador. The research was carried out under an experimental quantitative approach with 30 children (18 girls and 12 boys), who study in third grade of EGB level, from 2 different educational in-stitutions in Riobamba city. In order to obtain the results that evaluate the developed application, a pre-test and a post-test were applied, which were contrasted with the student’s t-test for paired samples. The statistical evidence suggests that the proposed computer system had a positive effect on children's performance, when it was used as a support tool in the classroom. The system was more effective in low performance children compared to those of high performance. It was also proved that children were motivated and showed positive attitudes when using the proposed System.
