Qingli Lei; Di Liu; Xiuhan Chen; Megan Hirni; Heba Abdelnaby – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
This study investigated the relationship between non-cognitive factors (mathematics anxiety, Emotional Intelligence, and mathematics self-concept) and mathematics performance in students with and without Mathematics Learning Disability (MLD). Participants were 340 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students from a public elementary school. Results showed…

De Wet, J. J. – 1981
The use of multiple regression in identifying students with learning disabilities was investigated with 281 ninth grade students. Five sets of predictor variables were chosen to predict grade point average in grade 9: verbal and nonverbal IQ, sex, socioeconomic status (SES), and grade point average in grade 7. Five groups of overachievers, normal…

Kirby, John R. – 1992
Two studies examined the effectiveness of the PASS (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, and Successive cognitive processes) theory of intelligence in predicting reading achievement scores of normally achieving children and distinguishing children with reading disabilities from normally achieving children. The first study dealt with predicting…

Wilczenski, Felicia L.; Gillespie-Silver, Patricia – 1991
The study explored the qualifications of learning-disabled college students by examining the academic performance (first year grade point average--GPA) of 179 learning-disabled and 249 nonlearning-disabled students classified by two objective admission criteria--either Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or high-school class rank. Overall, the scores…

Rafoth, Mary Ann K. – 1984
The study hypothesized that scatter analysis of the three subtest scale scores on the Meeting Street School Screening Test (gross motor patterning, visual-perceptual-motor, and language) given at the beginning of first grade would prove to be a more accurate predictor of future placement in a learning disabilities program than the cut-off total…

Wilczenski, Felicia L.; Gillespie-Silver, Patricia – 1990
Data were collected on 211 undergraduates who were followed by Learning Disabled Student Services (LDSS) at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst during the academic year 1988-1989. Additional data on educational backgrounds were collected for 80 members of the LDSS population, to define variables important in predicting college outcomes.…

Perry, Joseph D.; Bard, E. M. – 2001
This study analyzed the association between resilience and violence as rated by teachers and parents of exceptional students (N=613) from large urban, public schools in Ohio. Multiple types of exceptionalities were represented and a high proportion of the diversity came from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Resilience predictor variables were…

Powers, P. J.; Putnam, Jon – 1997
This report discusses the outcomes of a study of 147 children (ages 7-10) with learning disabilities that investigated the extent to which students legally classified with learning disabilities concurrently manifested mixed lateral dominance (MLD). The study was conducted to determine if MLD was a possible predictive factor for early…

Klassen, Rob – 2001
This review examines and summarizes 16 research studies examining the writing self-efficacy beliefs of 6th to 10th grade students. In the majority of the studies, self-efficacy was found to play a primary role in predicting student writing performance. Students with learning disabilities were found to over-estimate their ability to complete…

Anderson, Jeffrey A. – 1999
This report discusses the outcomes of a study that investigated the relationship between students with emotional and behavioral disabilities (EBD) and students with learning disabilities (LD) with regard to academic achievement over time, and examined a limited set of variables hypothesized to be related to academic achievement. The study sample…

Rueda, Robert; And Others – 1985
Characteristics of Hispanic students referred for special education services during 1983-84 in several large urban school districts with large minority populations were examined. Also examined was the predictive ability of various statistical models with respect to the eventual diagnostic outcomes of the students. File data were collected for…

Jenkins, Joe; O'Connor, Randi – 2001
This executive summary discusses our current understanding of the difficulties that children with reading/learning disabilities encounter as they start down the road to reading and summarizes research on early identification and intervention. The focus is on children in kindergarten through second grade. Findings from the analysis indicate: (1)…

Serafica, Felicisima C.; Learner, Kathy M. – 1989
This study investigated the development of teachers' conceptions of learning disabilities (LD) as a function of experience with pupils having LD. An expert group of 25 LD-certified special education teachers, a transition group of 24 regular classroom teachers of mainstreamed LD pupils, and a novice group of 20 undergraduate special education…

Miller, Sandra E.; And Others – American Educational Research Journal, 1988
Ethnographic methods were used to assess three learning-disabled and three normal tenth and eleventh grade boys at a school with an unusually low dropout rate. Institutional, classroom, and interpersonal factors behind the schools' student retention ability are described. (TJH)

Goldstein, David; Dundon, William D. – 1986
This paper addresses the problem of heterogeneity of samples of learning disabled (LD) children by comparing five different systems for identifying homogeneous subgroups in terms of their ability to predict longitudinal reading and mathematics scores. One hundred and sixty LD children served as subjects. Three of the five subgrouping systems were…
