In this paper we use the Triangular and Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers as tools for assessing student Mathematical Modelling (MM) skills. Fuzzy Numbers play a fundamental role in fuzzy mathematics analogous to the role played by the ordinary numbers in classical mathematics, On the other hand, MM appears today as a dynamic tool for teaching and learning mathematics, because it connects mathematics w...

BACKGROUND Parenting children with learning disabilities requires a high level of knowledge and access to resources, information and services. In developing countries, however, these resources and services are not always available. Parents in Namibia, a developing country, therefore face challenges addressing children's learning and other developmental disabilities, including challenges related...

Children with academic and behavioral difficulties have been found to report overly positive self-perceptions of performance in their areas of specific deficit. Researchers typically investigate self-perceptions in reference to both actual performance and ratings by teachers, peers, and parents. However, few studies have investigated whether or not adolescents with difficulty report overly posi...

This article, therefore, examines how learning disabilities are defined and identified, their prevalence within the institutional population and, perhaps most important, how offender treatment or programming can accommodate the unique needs of offenders with learning disabilities. Defining learning disabilities Learning disabilities can best be described as a group of problems resulting from di...

objectives: in present study, we studied the effect of teaching three painting methods (free method, subject selection method and complementary method) on creativity of children with learning disabilities. first, among all disabled students, who refer to bizhani center for learning disabilities in arak city, 60 subjects were randomly selected as statistical sample. thus, the 45 children, divide...

We present findings from the SciTrain University project, particularly as it relates to faculty development efforts. SciTrain University is a program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education to improve the accessibility of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education for students with disabilities. In this case study we investigate two broad research questions. First,...

Objectives: Learning disabilities can cause serious communication and socio-emotional disorders in students. Teachers, as specialists who are in direct contact with students on a daily basis, have an important role in identifying and referring students suspected of these disabilities. Therefore, this study investigated the role of primary school teachers’ awareness and attitude about the signs ...
