Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience barriers to employment, contributing to persistently low employment rates within this population. Proficiency in social and technical skills is essential for obtaining and maintaining employment. One evidence-based approach for teaching these skills…

Globally, many learners with severe intellectual disability face multiple adversities. These include poverty, abuse and lack of resources. Resilience factors need to be made accessible to enable learners to bounce back from these adversities. However, few studies were found on the resilience of learners with severe intellectual disability. The…

This study investigated how peer-mediated structured game activities changed and improved peer relations in an inclusive preschool classroom for a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A case study was used in which 17 typically developing (TD) children aged 60-71 months, a 66-month-old boy diagnosed with ASD and the preschool teacher…

This study examines the development and evaluates the effectiveness of an academic model that integrates Process Genre and Task-Based approaches to enhance Thai undergraduate students' academic reading and writing skills. Recognizing persistent challenges in English academic literacy, particularly in reading and writing, this study employed a…

Background: Adults with intellectual disability, especially those with Down syndrome, are at increased risk of dementia. Whilst memory decline is often considered the earliest symptom, emerging research indicates decline in language, executive function, and non-cognitive domains may also occur early, potentially before memory changes. Method: A…

Much has been said and written about the purpose and value of mainstream education generally and physical education (PE) specifically. However, in contrast, little attention has been given to the purpose and value of alternative provision, and none about PE in those education settings. In this article, we draw upon the concepts of culture, power,…

This systematic literature review forms the first part of a larger research project into teamwork skills development and aims to answer the following research question: What factors have been found to be significant to the development of teamwork skills in tertiary engineering courses? This was limited to tertiary engineering contexts and 59…

This rapid review, commissioned by the Department for Education (DfE) and conducted from February to July 2024, aimed to identify the best available evidence to guide early years practitioners in supporting children aged 0-5 with speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN), specifically stammering, speech sound issues, and language…

The primary goal of this project is to assess the students' improved communication skills after applying five interactive strategies to an experimental group of subjects. This class will be compared with a control group of other participants, and in their class, the interactive approaches are not emphasized and practiced openly. The target…

Background: Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are disproportionally at risk of and impacted by violent victimization. They also face substantial barriers to reporting victimization to the police. One of those barriers is language access. Similarly, communication can also pose challenges for individuals with intellectual…

While life skill development opportunities in sport and the coach's essential role in facilitating the process have received much support, coaches often report they lack the tools and confidence necessary to integrate life skill development strategies into practice. Additionally, while life skill development focused coach education programming…

The assessment of student understanding, and of student reasoning skills more broadly, hinges upon the ability to elicit and interpret student-generated explanations. In practice, however, the explanations that students provide in response to traditional prompts do not always reveal as much about student reasoning as teachers and researchers in…

Today's students are motivated to understand the world around them, and in so doing, they question things that their professors take for granted. Students are naturally drawn to question the world around them, and as they do so, they are developing frameworks to better organize their questions and the answers. The author understands that students…

Research has shown that large visual illusions and an external focus of attention can improve novice's motor learning. However, the combined effects of these approaches and the underlying mechanisms have yet to be studied. Therefore, the present study examined the effects of a large visual illusion and an external focus on the learning of a dart…

As a research area, computational thinking (CT) has gotten increased attention in mathematics education in the last decade. A study identifying patterns in CT research would be essential in understanding the technique for developing CT in mathematics and guiding future research attempts. As a result, the goal of this systematic literature review…
