August Dvorak is best known for his development of the Dvorak keyboard. However, Dvorak also adapted and applied many behavioral and scientific management techniques to the field of education. Taken collectively, these techniques are representative of many of the procedures currently used in applied behavior analysis, in general, and especially in precision teaching. The failure to consider Dvorak's instructional methods may explain some of the discrepant findings in studies which compare the efficiency of the Dvorak to the standard keyboard. This article presents a brief background on the development of the standard (QWERTY) and Dvorak keyboards, describes parallels between Dvorak's teaching procedures and those used in precision teaching, reviews some of the comparative research on the Dvorak keyboard, and suggests some implications for further research in applying the principles of behavior analysis.
奥古斯特·德沃夏克最为人所知的是他对德沃夏克键盘的开发。然而,德沃夏克还将许多行为和科学管理技术应用于教育领域。总体而言,这些技术代表了目前应用行为分析中使用的许多程序,特别是在精确教学中。未能考虑德沃夏克的教学方法可能解释了一些比较德沃夏克键盘与标准键盘效率的研究中出现的不一致结果。本文介绍了标准(QWERTY)键盘和德沃夏克键盘发展的简要背景,描述了德沃夏克的教学程序与精确教学中使用的程序之间的相似之处,回顾了一些关于德沃夏克键盘的比较研究,并提出了对应用行为分析原则进行进一步研究的一些启示。
