Background/Context: Career and technical education (CTE) coursework in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medical/health (STEMM) fields has been supported by policy makers as a way to align the secondary-to-postsecondary-to-career pipeline. Yet, in the research, the focus has been on whether STEMM CTE coursetaking in high school…

Introduction: Inability to self-regulate learning is likely to be an indication of internet/mobile phone use. When students have low self-regulation, this may negatively predict problematic smartphone use. Additionally, problematic smartphone use could be a predictor of academic procrastination. The aim of this study was to investigate the…

Dyscalculia refers to a specific and lifelong difficulty in learning mathematics. Dyscalculia has been observed among students from even basic levels of mathematical studies, and its effects regarding mathematical learning are serious. This study explores teacher knowledge and student status of dyscalculia at a basic level schools in Nepal. It was…

Short term memory (STM) and working memory (WM) performance consistently predict language abilities in children with developmental language disorders. However, causality is not fully established. Moreover, evidence from the fine-grained analysis of STM/WM tasks and comprehension of complex sentences, suggests that long term memory (LTM)…

Individuals with severe academic challenges constitute one of the most vulnerable groups of our society. Science has to find ways to help arm them against life's challenges and cope with the many risk factors that they are usually confronted with. Team sports like baseball seem to be a suitable means of achieving that goal. In this qualitative…

The study explored teachers' perceptions and practices at school level with special reference to dyslexia. Being deprived of proper learning environment learning difficulties are multiplied for dyslexic students. Poor reading skills are the reason of low vocabulary. The study was quantitative in nature. It was conducted in the secondary schools of…

We investigated the extent to which one elementary school child with working-memory differences made sense of number as a composite unit and advanced her reasoning. Through ongoing and retrospective analysis of eight teaching-experiment sessions, we uncovered four shifts in the child's real-time negotiation of number over time: (a) initial…

Trauma exposure and post-traumatic stress disorder are more prevalent in people with intellectual disabilities (PWID) than in the general population, yet the evidence base for trauma interventions in this population is sparse. Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) may be particularly well-suited to PWID for a number of reasons, including its…

Students with learning disabilities (LD) are attending postsecondary education more than ever, but are also less likely to complete their education compared to non-LD peers. Using the Inputs-Environment-Outcomes model of Astin, we examined students with LD and non-LD peers during their first year of postsecondary studies. Using structural equation…

Inclusive education has become a global trend in the provision of services for students with disabilities. While attitudes towards inclusion have been studied widely in some countries, little research in this area has been conducted in Kuwait. This study responds to this need by researching pre-service teachers' attitudes towards inclusive…

The "Self-Determination Inventory--Student Report" (SDI-SR) was developed to address the need in the field for new, theoretically aligned measures of self-determination. The purpose of this study was to establish the most robust and efficient set of items to assess the self-determination of adolescents with and without disabilities on…

The aim of this study is to investigate how a student with learning disabilities is socially accepted by his peers in the classroom when social skills training and academic support are concomitantly provided. The participants consisted of 15 (7 female, 8 male) typically developing high school students attending Grade 1 and a student with learning…

Students with specific learning disabilities (SLDs) are more likely to exhibit internalizing and externalizing behaviors than typically developing peers. Virtually none of the literature, however, reports on the behaviors of students at-risk for writing disabilities (AR-WD). We compared the behaviors of writers who are AR-WD and typically…

This study's primary purpose was to determine how students with a learning disability (LD) in mathematics react in different testing environments, and whether changing the testing parameters can improve the outcomes. Quantitative data was collected through questionnaires, heart rates, and math fluency probes. These data were used to test the…
