Clausen, Amy M.; Tapp, Melissa C.; Pennington, Robert C.; Spooner, Fred; Teasdell, Annette – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2021
Modified schema-based instruction (MSBI) is a strategy to teach mathematical word problem solving to students with moderate and severe disabilities (MSD). In this comprehensive review, we explore the current state of research on MSBI to determine whether MSBI is an evidence-based practice (EBP) for students with MSD. We reviewed 12 studies, of…
