A Persuasive Mathematic Courseware Design Model for Special Needs Children

This paper describes an ongoing study related to the courseware design model which specific to Mathematics learning content application for Special Needs Children. Reviews from literatures indicate that content application such as courseware which is specifically designed to cater the needs of Special Needs Children learners in learning is highly scarce. It was found that most of the existing content applications including courseware focus to the needs of normal student, in which most of this courseware mean too little to the Special Needs Children learners which have their own problem of difficulty in learning. Thus, this study aims at studying the core element needed in education courseware for Special Needs Children learners. This paper proposes a Courseware Design Model for Special Needs Children by utilizing persuasive approach. Future works is to validate the proposed model through expert review and prototyping method. .
