Little attention has been given to how formal classroom instruction can be adapted to teach youths everyday skills such as the correct writing of biographic information frequently requested in transactions like applying for a job or a social security number and cashing a check. In this study, six youths in a special education classroom were taught to complete job application forms with the date, their name, signature, address, telephone number, date of birth, and a reference's name, address, and occupation. Each youth was trained on one item of biographic information at a time, after which he was tested on four application forms, including one on which he had not been trained. The tests show that after an item had been taught, it was correctly used in completing application forms on which the youths had been trained and forms on which they had never been trained. The study demonstrates the feasibility of teaching community-living, vocation-related skills to special-education youths in a classroom setting.
人们很少关注如何调整正规课堂教学，以便向青少年传授日常技能，例如在申请工作或社会安全号码以及兑现支票等交易中正确填写传记信息。在这项研究中，六名特殊教育教室里的青少年接受了填写工作申请表的培训，其中包括日期、姓名、签名、地址、电话号码、出生日期以及参考人的姓名、地址和职业。每次培训一个传记信息项目，之后对他们进行四项申请表测试，其中包括一项未经过培训的申请表。测试结果表明，在教授完一个项目后，青少年在接受过培训的申请表和从未接受过培训的申请表上正确使用了该项目。这项研究表明，在课堂环境中向特殊教育青少年教授与社区生活和职业相关的技能是可行的。
