My presentation is complete and I am currently working on the assessments and attachments for my action research project. They include pre/post attitude surveys, pre/post writing sample assignments, tally sheet to record student engagement levels, log to record time students spent practicing the software, a standardized writing evaluation scale (rubric) used to measure student success, and the WordQ 2 User Guide which will be used for instruction.
My guiding question is, "How will the use of assistive technology, word prediction software, impact the writing productivity of secondary students with disabilities?" I have WordQ word prediction software on my school computer and I will be training my students on how to use it to their advantage. This is something I have been wanting to schedule time to do the past two years, so my action research project is proving to be very beneficial to me and hopefully a huge benefit to my students. If the statistics show a positive conclusion, I will submit a proposal to have my department buy more licenses of this software.
