Effectiveness of Direct Question Method in Examinations Results for Students with Learning and Intellectual Disability

Inclusive education is the education that allows the disabled students to study along with normal students in a normal school. Inclusive education improves the social behavior of disabled students, but at the same time it poses lots of problems like, curriculum issues, lack of trained teachers, teacher's attitude towards these children and lack of equipments to provide inclusive learning. Application level questions in an exam are another important problem faced by students with special needs. To address this problem the present study focuses on the effectiveness of direct question method in examinations results among students with learning and intellectually disability. 21 participants were selected for this study (LD= 10, SL= 5, MR= 10). Participants had to appear for both direct and indirect method of examinations. Results reveal that the directive method is effective for all of the subjects except physics and mathematics. Besides discussing the results, implications of the study are also highlighted.
