Adapted physical activity-based service-learning programs that pair kinesiology and physical education preservice professionals alongside people with impairments are common across college and university settings. It is critical, however, that these programs be developed in a way that meets the needs and educational interests of both university and…

Educating student teachers to teach highly diverse groups of pupils has become one of the central tasks of teacher education programmes. Research on inclusive education has pointed to the need for more studies around student teachers' inclusive teaching competence. This study explores the extent to which student teachers' beliefs and self-efficacy…

Although the majority of students receiving special education services for emotional disturbance (ED) receive a significant amount of instruction in general education classrooms, evidence-based practices for educating students with ED in these settings have yet to be identified. As a result, school-based practitioners must primarily rely on…

Equity issues in the field of arts and culture play an important role when it comes to extracurricular activities in education. Students with special educational needs (SEN) seem not provided with equal access. Using nation-wide random samples of fourth- and fifth-graders courtesy of the German National Education Panel Study (NEPS), the main…

This paper focuses on science teaching learning practices in a culturally diverse classroom of a Nepalese public secondary level science teacher who was purposefully selected. I focus on how science teaching in this science teacher's classroom is interactive, creative, collaborative and inclusive. Additionally, I explain how the school environment…

In order to transform mathematics classrooms for students with disabilities, teachers must design based on learners at the margins. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework built on these principles (Meyer et al., 2014), but lacks a robust process through which educators can reimagine mathematics. We theorize that when educators merge…

The researchers investigate how learners with barriers to learning experience the transition to classes for learners with special educational needs.

EU governments' prompt investments in historically large job retention measures have temporarily cushioned the pandemic's blow to labor markets, but this also means that the full impact is yet…

This dissertation presents results from two case studies conducted in undergraduate mathematics departments at Minority Serving Institutions with majority Hispanic identifying student bodies. These mathematics departments were identified as being especially committed to equitable and inclusive instruction and supporting positive experiences among…

The mathematics achievement of seventh grade general education students placed in an inclusive setting with students in need of special education services was compared to the mathematics achievement of seventh grade general education students placed in a classroom without students in need of special education services. Participants included…
