Probabilistic data linking was conducted between the 2021 Chilean school registry and 2003-2015…

Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) are used to document the needs of students with disabilities and outline provisions with which to support access and inclusion in educational settings. However, often the programs focus on students' specific needs rather than giving agency to students or considering how wider ecosystems impacts students'…

Teachers' beliefs influence the educational experiences they provide for students with disabilities.

Providing multiple representations of mathematical ideas is an established strategy for supporting students in making connections between high-level conceptual ideas. One form of assistive technology that provides students with such representations is mathematics manipulatives. Virtual manipulatives, in particular, are backed by a growing research…

This article explores the potential of technology-enhanced dialogic reading (DR) approaches to enhance language skills in young children via examining evidence from systematic reviews and extant technology integration research plus a preliminary study of caregivers' perceptions of digital tutorials designed to promote DR. Systematic reviews…

Despite increasing calls for transparent integration, the mixed methods field lacks replicable approaches that center theory to answer multilevel-systems questions. We describe the Deductive-Inductive Dual Pillar Integration Process (DID-PIP), a five-phase integration technique for multilevel research. The DID-PIP centers a theoretical framework…

This study focuses on understanding how adult education faculty in higher education develop their knowledge and skills to accommodate adult learners with disabilities (ALDs). It explores how these educators learn about the accessibility needs of ALDs and their willingness to create inclusive learning environments. Adult education faculty were…
