In recent years, there has been increased research interest in the functioning of working memory people with intellectual disabilities. Although studies have repeatedly found these individuals to weak skills, few investigations distinguished between different degrees disability. This study aims help close this gap and, so doing, examine whether deficits observed reflect a developmental lag or qualitative deviation from normal development.In 5-group design, performance group 15-year-olds mild...

The inclusion of pupils with special educational needs ( SEN ) in schools is an ongoing challenge – it demands the development adapted teaching and learning environment, which, turn, requires a corresponding teacher education programme. Studies indicate that personal characteristics respective teachers are one main influencing factors on classroom environment. This article reports study role teacher‐related factors, attitudes, concerns efficacy by testing existing survey instruments 909...

Successful inclusive education creates a learning environment that supports not only the cognitive abilities of all children but also their social and emotional development. The present study focuses on development participation students with without special needs (SEN). A longitudinal two measurement times was conducted. first (T1) took place at end fifth grade, second (T2) one year later. sample consisted 35 SEN and108 non-SEN from mainstream classes in Graz, Austria. For assessing...

Trainees can participate in organizational training programs voluntarily or mandatorily. To date, research has reported mixed evidence on the question whether voluntary mandatory participation is associated with higher motivation and transfer of training. Grounded frameworks participatory design, notion autonomy basic psychological needs theory, 2 × model achievement goals, this meta‐analysis examined relationship between goal orientations contexts a sample N = 4729 trainees k 29 studies....

This computer-based study evaluates whether teacher feedback can have an effect on the acceptance of children with and without disabilities in inclusive, special regular schools. The social four shown photo vignettes (child Down Syndrome, child a wheelchair, migrant background no visible disability or background) was assessed significant main for type vignette found (F [3, 952] = 378.57, p < .01, η2 .54) but not school participants currently visited (inclusive school, school). In...

In a survey, 840 parents of children with cognitive deficits who were educated either in special schools or inclusive classes asked to assess their children's school experiences. The results showed an overall high degree satisfaction the schooling, but there marked differences among parents' assessments depending on learning disabilities and type school. Satisfaction social experiences education curriculum depend these two factors. All all, many satisfied schooling than those schools....

The electrical asymmetry effect in a spherical, geometrically asymmetric capacitive argon discharge driven by two consecutive harmonics is investigated using particle cell simulations and analytical modeling. We find that the can be reduced electrically tuning phase shift between driving frequencies, i.e., absolute value of dc self-bias voltage completely mean ion energies at both electrodes adapted.

During the past decades, teacher collaboration has received increasing attention from both research and practice fields. However, little been said about its relationship with student achievement. In present study, using data representative PISA 2012 German sample, we investigate effects that three forms of proposed by namely instruction- project- organisation related have on We conducted exploratory confirmatory factor analysis to test factorial validity instrument. After some...

Technologies that enable individualization for students have significant potential in special education. Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) refers to digital assessments automatically adjust their difficulty level based on students' abilities, allowing personalized, efficient, and accurate measurement. This article examines whether CAT performs differently with without educational needs (SEN). Two simulation studies were conducted using a sample of 709 third-grade from general schools...

Radio-frequency driven plasma jets are frequently employed as efficient sources for surface modification and other processes at atmospheric pressure. The radio-frequency micro-atmospheric pressure jet (μAPPJ) is a particular variant of that concept whose geometry allows direct optical access. In this work, the characteristics μAPPJ operated with helium–oxygen mixture its interaction helium environment studied by numerical simulation. density temperature electrons, well concentration all...

In inclusive classrooms teamwork and collaboration between general teachers special education are among the most important factors for student achievement. Yet, to date, little evidence exists on how teacher is implemented whether value their equally. The current study analyzes in at elementary secondary school levels. Participants were 191 130 teachers. results suggest that all satisfied with teamwork; differences non-significant. Elementary had more positive perceptions than These findings...

Prosocial behavior and peer problems are an important correlate of academic development; however, these effects vary by achievement measures social behaviors. In this paper, we examined data from the German National Education Panel Study (NEPS), use structural equation modeling (SEM) to model prosocial on grades competencies for both math (n = 3,310) reading 3,308) in 5 7. Our models account moderating effect gender socioeconomic status (SES) as determined parental education. We conclude...

One important issue of the current empirical research on special education is investigation effects inclusive compared to segregating for students with learning disabilities (LD). For this purpose, measurement instruments have be appropriate LD and equivalent across in different educational settings order able compare their outcomes. The aim study therefore was investigate PIQ's (Perceptions Inclusion Questionnaire) invariance classes. Findings suggest that struggle negative wordings. As...

Both Canada's and Germany's school systems are transitioning into inclusive education systems. This transition is also happening in vocational schools. paper addresses the new demands that teachers face, due to introduction of Germany Canada, by examining Canadian German pre-service teachers' attitudes, self-efficacy experiences related education. The study identifies significantly more positive ratings sample across all three scales. We conclude different relate systems, with inclusion...

We investigated the influence of teacher feedback on social acceptance peers with intellectual disabilities and without disabilities. A computer task was administered to 601 students in grades 3 4. Twenty-six per cent attend an inclusive school; others are regular schools special educational needs. Participants introduced 'new' virtual classmates, one student Down syndrome (DS), control no obvious disability. Additionally, about fun playing new classmates is given. Social evaluated by asking...

Inclusive education aims to provide learning progress for all. It requires assessments identify levels and adapt evaluate instruction. We extend the classroom-based assessment (CBA) approach argue that CBA in inclusive schools consists of four dimensions Instructional Decision-Making, Educational Assessment, Identification Students with Special Needs, Progress Monitoring. For this paper, we developed both a framework research interests individual scales each dimension (6 9 items per scale)...

Formative tests and assessments have high potential in supporting learning, especially for students with special educational needs. One approach to gain assessment information on student learning is monitor progress. For that, multiple repeated are often performed by practitioners. In order be useful practice, must meet various interdependent quality criteria. A property of that touches criteria as the utility economy length. test has long enough give a meaningful, reliable comparable...
