Abstract

Objectives In this study, we analyzed the effect of community-based instruction using educational content on the ability of students with intellectual disabilities to use food court kiosks and their attitude toward class.
 Methods For this purpose, a study was conducted on 30 students with intellectual disabilities attending a high school special school in Province C. The students studied were wirelessly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was given community-based instruction using educational content, and the control group was given traditional classroom instruction based on direct instruction. To achieve the purpose of the study, a checklist for evaluating kiosk use ability and a teaching attitude evaluation tool were created, modified, and supplemented to evaluate students. The evaluation results were analyzed by conducting an independent samples t test.
 Results As a result of the study, both the experimental group and the control group improved their ability to use the food court kiosk, but the experimental group's ability to use it improved more, and a significant difference was found between the two groups. There was also a significant improvement in attitude toward class in both the experimental and control groups, but the attitude toward class in the experimental group improved more, and a significant difference was found between the two groups.
 Conclusions Through the analysis of the results of this study, it was confirmed that community-based instruction using educational content was more effective in improving the ability of students with intellectual disabilities to use food court kiosks and their attitude toward class. In the future, we suggest that the development of educational content that can improve the ability of intellectually disabled students to use kiosks should be actively pursued, and that community-based instructions should be developed and applied when teaching community adaptation skills.
