Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cook, Sara Cothren; Collins, Lauren W.; Morin, Lisa L.; Riccomini, Paul J. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2020
The purpose of this review is to determine the evidence base classification of schema-based instruction (SBI) as an intervention to improve word problem-solving outcomes in mathematics for students with learning or mathematics disabilities in Grades K-12. Using the Council for Exceptional Children's quality indicators (QIs) and standards, we…

Chen, Jinsong; Li, Liangfang; Zhang, Dake – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2021
This study analyzed the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study 2011 data on fourth-grade U.S. students' mathematics performance to answer four research questions: (a) How did U.S. students' geometry performance compare with their performance on the other mathematics subscales? (b) What were the patterns of student achievement among…

Zheng, Xinhua; Flynn, Lindsay J.; Swanson, H. Lee – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2013
This article provides a quantitative synthesis of the published literature on word problem solving intervention studies for children with math disabilities (MD). Seven group and eight single-subject design studies met inclusion criteria. Mean effect sizes ("ES"s) for solution accuracy for group design studies were 0.95 (SE = 0.19) for…

Allsopp, David H.; Alvarez McHatton, Patricia; Farmer, Jennie L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2010
Effective integration of technology within mathematics problem solving/response to instruction (PS/RTI) for students with/at risk for identification of learning disabilities (LD) is the focus of this article. The discussion is situated within the current context of mathematics PS/RTI, the literature base relative to technology integration in…

Researching in Classrooms: Getting beyond "What Works"
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dudley-Marling, Curt – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2011
The dominant approach to research in learning disabilities utilizes experimental and quasi-experimental designs to identify the most effective instructional strategies for students with learning disabilities. Research is always undertaken from a point of view, yet the discourse on "what works?" is generally silent on how theoretical frameworks…
