According to a report prepared by the European Agency in collaboration with the National Agencies of the "Eurydice" programme, the current trend in the European Union in relation to Special Education promotes the development of a policy that supports inclusive education (or inclusion) or as otherwise referred to in the Luxembourg Charter…

Poor mathematics self-efficacy (MSE) has been recorded among learners at all levels in Nigeria. The study reported on here sought to establish the efficacy of differentiated instruction (DI) in raising learners' MSE in inclusive settings. We also explored the differential effects of DI on the MSE of learners with dyscalculia, as well as on high-…

Teachers' beliefs in inclusive education can be highly significant in the success of inclusive classrooms resulting in the performance outcomes of students. Teachers' understandings and expectations of students are important if students are to reach their potential. This study investigated 182 Australian secondary teachers' beliefs about inclusive…

Few research studies pertained to middle school teachers with a self-identified specific learning disability (SLD) and the influence of this disability upon their teaching philosophy and instructional practice within educational research. This qualitative narrative study examined the perceptions of middle school teachers with a self-identified SLD…

Co-teaching is a popular service delivery option for students with learning disabilities (LD), yet its overall efficacy is questionable. Variance in teachers, students, quality of instruction, and types of co-teaching make it challenging to meet criteria for quality group experimental study. Schools must determine the effectiveness of their…

The authors examined the knowledge of middle level mathematics teachers instructing in inclusive classrooms to the hearing impairments students (HISs) or learning disabilities students (LDSs). The focus was on teachers' understanding of students' misconceptions related to the concept of angles. The study aimed to investigate the teachers' role in…

As students enter middle school, they face increased writing expectations.

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…

The problem addressed by this study was the possible lack of consistent learning opportunities in digital literacy and assistive technology use for underachieving middle school students with learning disabilities in inclusive classrooms. This qualitative, exploratory, narrative inquiry study aimed to explore the stories of middle school teachers…

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 aim of this research is to create an inclusive reading and writing learning environment in a class of 8 people, including students with different learning levels, and even learning difficulties. While associating the inclusive approach with the reading and writing process, the researchers prepared an action plan consisting of popular culture…

Secondary students with specific learning disabilities often have challenges with academic engagement and performance within the general education setting. Opportunity to respond strategies, such as student response systems, have shown promise in supporting academic engagement for students without disabilities. However, there are few studies…

A significant number of students with learning disabilities encounter challenges in acquiring knowledge, particularly in mathematics. Nonetheless, having a disability or being disadvantaged is not a preference or decision made by these students - or more generally, by these individuals; rather, this label is assigned to them by the prevailing…
