Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Panoura & Philipuo meta cognition training program on mathematical function of students with mathematic disabilities, Elementary fourth grade schools. In this study, single subject method with A-B design was used. Subjects are 3 students with mathematics learning disabilities in Primary schools that were selected through multi-stage cluster sampling. The instruments included the Wechsler intelligence test fourth edition, mathematics disabilities diagnosis list, and mathematics function tests. In this method, after the position of the baseline, the intervention began, and in the 12 sessions of individual intervention Panoura & Philipuo meta cognitive program were conducted.Our subjects were followed 1 months after the end of intervention for the 2 consecutive week at four sessions. According to descriptive statistics and visual analysis, the intervention had been affected in all three subjects (With PND 100% for both A and B subjects and PND 92% for C subjects). The results of this study showed that conducting Panoura metacognitive program can improve mathematics function of students with mathematics learning disability.
