Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of an animation-based teaching package on the acquisition of three daily living skills based on the performance of three middle school students with mild or moderate intellectual disability. An animation-based teaching package was designed to include explicit instructional procedures and was developed and tested by the researchers within the scope of the study in order to meet the specific needs of the target group. A multiple probe across behaviors design was applied for this single-subject research in order to investigate the effect of an animation-based daily life skills teaching package on the learning of culinary skills by three middle school students with ID. The culinary skills were sandwich preparation, brewing tea, and pouring tea. The participants in the study showed overall improvement in their task performance following the intervention. The results revealed animation-based video modeling to be an effective method in improving the acquisition of daily living skills. Animation-based teaching may be used as a means to teach effective daily living skills to students with ID.
