It is crucial for students with learning disabilities (SLDs) to possess psychological resilience in order to pursue their careers as entrepreneurial individuals. One of the areas where entrepreneurship skills are taught in middle school is in science courses. This shows the importance of teaching psychological resilience in science courses. On the…

Our understanding of how active learning affects different groups of students is still developing. One group often overlooked in higher education research is students with disabilities. Two of the most commonly occurring disabilities on college campuses are attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disorders (SLD). We…

Effective science instruction involves opportunities for all students to do science, including engaging in the NGSS Science and Engineering Practices through inquiry-based learning. Many students with learning disabilities have the accommodation of shortened or reduced assignments in their Individualized Educational Programs to allow them equal…

Project-based learning (PBL) in inclusive classrooms has the potential to provide meaningful and collaborative learning experiences that develop students' academic and social-emotional learning skills. This qualitative study focuses on the voices of secondary students with disabilities (SWDs) by examining their perceptions of PBL in English…

The skill of collaboration is fundamental for every student as a future participant of a global society. Students with learning disabilities feel excluded amongst peers in a traditional classroom setting, specifically elementary students with learning disabilities in the area of collaboration. The overall purpose of this basic qualitative study…

The importance of programs that develop the thinking skills of students has been emphasized by many educational researchers. However, the majority of these studies have focused on developing these skills of gifted students and of students in public schools. Few have focused on developing and strengthening such skills in students with learning…

The Impact of Facilitating Art Experiences for Students with Language-Based Learning Disabilities Through the Use of Universal Design for Learning Within a Makerspace will address the topics of utilizing Universal Design of Learning (UDL), and Project-Based Learning (PBL) to deliver an arts-based STEAM curriculum within a Makerspace, in order to…

Opportunities for students to learn mathematics through innovative, authentic experiences in an inquiry-based instructional approach have become much more common for students in regular and advanced math classes. Yet, the same cannot be said for students with learning disabilities. One of the primary reasons is that key tenets of the inquiry…

This study aimed to develop a science experiments guidebook (based on discussion method and enriched worksheet) for fourth grade mainstreamed students with learning disabilities and to investigate its effect on their conceptual understanding of the "Matter and its Nature", "Living Things and Life", "Physical Events"…

This study aims to administrate a qualitative single case study about the teaching of number tracing using a new idea which is known as "Reconnecting Learning-Mediated number tracing". This teaching strategy is developed to teach number tracing and to support pupils at-risk of dyscalculia to master number tracing skills which are a…

Students with learning disabilities (LD) often receive instruction in general education science classrooms. However, little is known about the academic success of students with LD in this setting. As inquiry-based science instruction has become more prominent, research focusing on student learning is needed to explore how such instruction meets…

This case study analyzed the TPACK development and transfer of a special education elementary school teacher. The study was guided by the following research questions: 1) What instructional strategies and experiences in the graduate pedagogy course supported TPACK development of this preservice teacher? 2) What are the internal and external…

Project-based learning activities commonly occur as part of science classroom instruction. However, while there is a large body of research about self-regulation of discreet tasks, there is limited research about how students sustain self-regulated learning during complex, long-term learning tasks. A multiple case study design with quantitative…

In this, I examined the differences between two approaches for teaching math to pupils with learning disabilities: active teaching as opposed to traditional teaching, which engages pupils more directly in their own learning process and promotes collaborative learning, and traditional (frontal) teaching. The hypothesis is that active teaching will…
