Background/purpose: This study examines whether Universal Design for Learning (UDL), based on the VARK model, can aid struggling students in mathematics in developing their statistical thinking skills. Additionally, the proposed study examines the relationship between learning preferences and the effect of these preferences on performance.…

If a learning disability is not defined, it can be said that primary school children show the features of adaptable students within the learning atmosphere of the classroom. Most of the time, teachers think that they teach and their students learn easily. However, studies on children's memory show that the learning process gets abstract when the…

Though several studies have been undertaken to explore the correlates of academic achievement, there is a dearth of studies relating to the cognitive profiles of children who show marked discrepancies between their cognitive potential and actual academic achievement. The present study was undertaken in this context. The study was conducted on a…

As the number of students with recognized learning disabilities who are pursuing higher education, strategies for success become important. The problem addressed by this study is a lack of understanding of learning styles of students with learning disabilities enrolled in health science disciplines incorporated in both the classroom and clinical…

The number of students with learning disabilities in post-secondary institutions has grown substantially, and those with dyslexia compile the largest subgroup. This study explores the utility conceptualization of dyslexia by analyzing the subjective experiences of 30 students from two 2-year institutions. Interviews confirmed that these students…

Teachers who adapt a multisensory approach to teaching learners who have been affected by fetal alcohol syndrome disorder (FASD) will encourage them to be self-supporting, and to excel in the classroom through participating in a myriad of stimulating activities. Researching the learners' unique characteristics will provide teachers with the tools…

Supporting student academic success has been one of the major goals for higher education. However, low teacher-to-student ratio makes it difficult for students to receive sufficient and personalized support that they might want to. The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and conversational agents, such as chatbots, has provided…

Career and technical education (CTE) courses, including agricultural education courses, are home to a disproportionately large number of students with learning disabilities. Agricultural education has been sought as a potential solution to teaching abstract STEM concepts through experiential learning methods. Abstract concepts are noted in the…

In conventional classroom driven instructor training, disabled student achieved low personality & motivation, more mental load due to lack of practical learning and unsuitable usage of learning material through different simulated contexts. Therefore, intent of proposed study is to integrate microworld game-based learning to different learning…

Latest research suggests that the most effective methods on education are those which utilize technological tools that provide an interactive approach to learning. Exploratory technology which involves augmented reality applications in the regular school program, gives the opportunity to young learners to become autonomous and active in their…

Students with dyscalculia are typically thought of by both researchers and educators as having deficits. The deficit language permeates studies of dyscalculia as well as assessments and documentation of students in schools. In this paper, we offer an alternative to the dominant narrative. We understand disabilities, and dyscalculia specifically,…

Research on the acquisition of foreign languages by at-risk students has primarily focused on the Linguistic Coding Deficit Hypothesis (Horwitz, 2000). Recently, there has been a growing discussion regarding the effects of learning style rigidity (Castro, 2006; Castro and Peck, 2005; Corbitt, 2011; Sparks, 2006) and metacognitive awareness…

In the last decades, learner autonomy has received a bevy of attention in education literature in the context of leadership dimensions and student-centered learning. The construct of learning disabilities has also experienced significant growth in empirical studies from the primary, secondary, and postsecondary educational arenas. However, there…

This study used a multiple probe across participants design, replicated across two interventions and counterbalanced across participant groups to examine the effects of number sense intervention and extensive practice intervention on strategy transformation when students with mathematics learning disabilities (MLD) solved basic fact problems. In…

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of training programme based on Information Processing through Brain Dominance to enhance Self-Regulation skills and its effect on Reading Comprehension among the sample of preparatory school pupils with English learning disabilities. The sample of the study consisted of (40) pupils with English…
