The results of the study indicate that the existed ICT tools for the assessment of the cognitive abilities of the students with SLDM are more in number compared to the ICT tools for the assessment of the metacognitive abilities of these students which are more limited.
These tools are designed for the assessment of either the cognitive or the metacognitive abilities of the students with SLDM and include computer based and mobile applications, serious games, smart-pens and educational software. It also aims to present ICT tools that are used worldwide in order to assess these abilities. It aims to present the cognitive and metacognitive deficits of these students along with the ways and methods that can improve the corresponding cognitive and metacognitive abilities and analyze the role of metacognition in mathematics education. This article is a literature review that analyses the cognitive and metacognitive abilities of the students with Specific Learning Disorder in Mathematics (SLDM). Thus, it can be concluded that the attractiveness of digital content is in the good category.
Students' responses at the one-to-one and small group evaluation stages are in the good categories. Based on the expert's judgment, the design aspect is in the good category, the media aspect is in the very good category. The methods and instruments used to collect data in this study were observation and questionnaires. The subjects involved in this study were 2 experts, namely media experts and instructional design experts, 3 students in one-to-one evaluation, and 9 students in small group evaluation. The developed digital content is evaluated using formative evaluation techniques, including 1) expert validation, 2) one-to-one evaluation, and 3) small group evaluation. This is a development research in which the Hannafin & Peck model is used. The development research being carried out has the aim of producing digital content developed based on information processing theory for the message design course in Educational Technology Study Program in Education Science Faculty of Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha.
