Method: This study was carried out using experimental method in semi-experinmental test-retest way. The study population was all female mentally retarded students in Kerman Province, who were busy studying at seventh grade in the years 2018-2019. For this purpose, 28 students were selected on a purposeful basis, and placed in two experiment and control group randomly. During a month, the experiment group was taught using online teaching (using quia website facilities) and offline teaching (researcher-made multimedia software) other than traditional teaching. Data collecting tools were Velayati's academic achievement motivation questionnaire (2016), researcher-made learning test, and researcher-made retention test, which was performed twice (before starting the experiment and after finishing it). The collected data were analyzed in mult-variable MANCOVA and covariance method. Results: The findings revealed that the control and experiment groups differed meaningfully in academic achievement motivation, learning, and retention retests; this difference in retention was more than academic achievement motivation and learning. In other words, the impact of instruction through a technology-based instruction program is more in retention of students with intellectual disability than their learning and academic achievement motivation. Conclusion: The technology-based instruction caused a meaningful increase in the academic achievement motivation of the experiment group students and also in the development and improvement of their learning and retention in English language lesson |
