Özet

This study was conducted within the scope of a scientific research project. In the first phase of the project, existing mobile applications available in Android and iOS markets were examined, and needs were identified regarding adaptability, accessibility, and pedagogical appropriateness. In the second phase, a mobile writing application was developed to support the writing skills of first- and second-grade primary school students, including those with special educational needs (SEN). Based on expert and teacher opinions, features such as content customization, simultaneous visual-auditory feedback, and gamification were integrated into the application design. The design aimed to enhance students’ attention and motivation through a gradual prompt reduction method and the use of reinforcers. The application is intended to provide teachers with the ability to determine the number of repeated responses for a skill, monitor student performance, and report progress. Upon completion of this study, the developed application is expected to serve as an effective tool for supporting the writing skills of SEN students and contribute to inclusive educational practices.
