| Objective: The present research aimed to investigate the effect of puppet show on the behavioral disorders of educable male first-graders with intellectual disabilities in Khorramabad, Iran. Method: The method was quasi-experimental and the design was pretest-posttest with a control group. The study population consisted of all educable male first-graders with intellectual disability in the academic year 2014-2015 in Khorramabad. The sample was selected through simple multistage random sampling. First, District 1 was randomly selected out of the two educational districts of Khorramabad. Then, from the first-graders in special schools of this district, the sample was randomly selected and allocated to experimental (n=15) and control groups (n=15). The experimental group received intervention in the form of 12 30-minute sessions of puppet show. The instrument used in this study was Rutter's Behavior Scale (B2) for Children (Teacher's Scale). Results: Results of covariance analysis showed that the puppet show is effective on behavioral disorders in educable male students with intellectual disability (p<0.002) in the sub-components of aggression-hyperactivity (p<0.001), anxiety-depression (p<0.003), social conflict (p<0.001), antisocial behavior (p<0.001), and attention deficit disorder (p<0.001). Conclusion: It was concluded that the implementation of puppet show significantly reduces behavioral disorders in educable students with intellectual disability. |
