Hughes, Elizabeth M.; Lee, Joo-Young; Cook, Michelle J.; Riccomini, Paul J. – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2019
Content writing contributes to students' positive learning and outcomes. Mathematical-content writing has been shown to positively support students' mathematical reasoning, but it is challenging for many students with and without learning disabilities. This study explores proof-of-concept evaluation to extend self-regulated strategy development,…
