Diaconu-Gherasim, Loredana R.; Brumariu, Laura E.; Moore, Michael T.; Kerns, Kathryn A. – Educational Psychology, 2023
This study evaluated the relations between adolescents' school and career future time perspective and their academic-related outcomes (i.e. grades, learning problems, and task orientation) and whether mastery goals are mediators of these relations. Romanian adolescents (N = 229, 59% girls) completed questionnaires assessing future orientation,…

Lia Ardiansari; Didi Suryadi; Dadan Dasari – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
Students' difficulties in algebra are generally caused by the use of algebraic notation, the meaning of letters, as well as the types of relationships or methods used. Therefore, interpreting letters in algebra is one of the critical points in the transition from arithmetic to algebra. However, many students have misconceptions in interpreting…

Tuire Koponen; Kenneth Eklund; Kaisa Aunola; Anna-Maija Poikkeus; Marja-Kristiina Lerkkanen; Minna Torppa – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2025
The long-term negative consequences of learning difficulties have been acknowledged. Nonetheless, research is still scarce regarding the prediction of adolescent difficulties in reading and arithmetic skills. The present study examines at which age phase and with what kind of constellation of parent- and child-related factors can adolescent…

Powell, Sarah R.; Mason, Erica N.; Bos, Samantha E.; Hirt, Stacy; Ketterlin-Geller, Leanne R.; Lembke, Erica S. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2021
In this systematic review, we explored mathematics interventions for middle school (Grades 6, 7, and 8) implemented with students who experienced difficulty in the area of mathematics, including students with an identified learning disability in mathematics. A total of 72 single-subject and group comparison studies met inclusion criteria, with 59…

Danielle O. Lariviere; Sarah R. Powell; Syeda Sharjina Akther – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2024
In this synthesis, we analyzed 10 prealgebraic reasoning interventions for students with mathematics difficulty (MD) in Grades 6 through 8. All interventions focused on one or more prealgebraic concepts including integer operations, algebraic expressions and equations, and functions. Of the 10 intervention studies, six employed single-case design…

Jenny Lenkeit; Stefanie Bosse; Michel Knigge; Anne Hartmann; Antje Ehlert; Nadine Spörer – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2024
Attitudes have gained much attention for supporting the successful implementation of inclusive education. There is evidence that students' attitudes towards joint lessons with students with special educational needs (SEN) affect peer relations in classrooms. But much less is currently known about the relationships between teachers' and students'…

Jitendra, Asha K.; Harwell, Michael R.; Im, Soo-hyun – Exceptional Children, 2022
Proportional reasoning is the cornerstone of many higher-level mathematics topics. We evaluated the sustainability effects of schema-based instruction (SBI) on proportional reasoning and the impact of professional development (PD) on the instructional practices of two cohorts of seventh-grade teachers (i.e., SBI-experienced-teacher implementers,…

Dougherty, Barbara; Bryant, Diane Pedrotty; Bryant, Brian R.; Shin, Mikyung – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2016
Cara, a seventh-grade student with learning disabilities (LD) in mathematics, believes that the ratio 2:3 is equivalent to 4:5 because there is a difference of one between the two numbers in each ratio and there is a difference of two between corresponding numbers in the two ratios (2 + 2 = 4 and 3 + 2 = 5). This misconception affects her ability…

Dougherty, Barbara; Bryant, Diane Pedrotty; Bryant, Brian R.; Shin, Mikyung – Grantee Submission, 2016
Ratios and proportions are foundational to student understanding across multiple topics in mathematics and science. In mathematics, they are central to developing concepts and skills related to slope, constant rate of change, and similar figures, which are all fundamental to algebraic concepts and skills. This article examines the importance of…

Sainio, Petra; Eklund, Kenneth; Hirvonen, Riikka; Ahonen, Timo; Kiuru, Noona – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2021
This study examined the role of learning difficulties in academic emotions and achievement across the transition to lower secondary school among 848 Finnish adolescents. Reading difficulties (RD) and math difficulties (MD) were identified based on test scores in Grade 6 and 7. Students with difficulties were identified as having resolving,…

Kitti Mercz-Madarassy – Hungarian Educational Research Journal, 2024
Investigating disadvantaged children is a priority area concerning education and health. However, little attention has been paid to pandemic-specific research in recent years. In the present study, we aim to explore the attitudes toward distance education in a sample (N = 305) of 7-8th grade students studying in disadvantaged settlements…

Schwab, Susanne; Eckstein, Boris; Reusser, Kurt – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2019
Students' non-compliant classroom behaviour is mentioned as one of the biggest challenges for teaching. This study examines the non-compliant behaviour of secondary school students and its predictors. Data were obtained from a longitudinal sample of 639 secondary school students in Austria (Styria). Students filled out a paper-pencil questionnaire…

Jitendra, Asha K.; Harwell, Michael R.; Im, Soo-Hyun; Karl, Stacy R.; Slater, Susan C. – Exceptional Children, 2018
The present study used a regression discontinuity approach to test whether schema-based instruction (SBI) was effective for students identified with varying levels of mathematics difficulties (MD) who received Tier-1 instruction. The performance of these students was compared to similar students who received business-as-usual Tier-1 instruction.…

Zhang, Dake; Stecker, Pamela; Huckabee, Sloan; Miller, Rhonda – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2016
Research has suggested that different strategies used when solving fraction problems are highly correlated with students' problem-solving accuracy. This study (a) utilized latent profile modeling to classify students into three different strategic developmental levels in solving fraction comparison problems and (b) accordingly provided…
