Abstract

This study assesses the effectiveness of online learning platforms in promoting inclusive education for students with disabilities. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative data from surveys with qualitative insights from interviews and document analysis. The findings indicate that platforms with comprehensive accessibility features and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles significantly enhance educational outcomes and satisfaction for students with disabilities. However, disparities in satisfaction among different disability groups highlight the need for more tailored accommodations. Key themes identified include accessibility, usability, support, engagement, and persistent challenges. The study concludes that while online learning platforms have made significant strides, continuous improvement and stakeholder collaboration are essential for optimizing inclusivity and educational equity.

Abstract

This study investigates the comparative impacts of Montessori and traditional education approaches on cognitive development, academic achievement, and social-emotional skills among primary school students. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research involved 500 students aged 6 to 12 years from both educational settings. Quantitative data were collected through standardized assessments, while qualitative insights were gathered via interviews with teachers, parents, and students. The results revealed that Montessori students demonstrated significantly higher cognitive development, particularly in processing speed, working memory, and perceptual reasoning. Additionally, Montessori students outperformed their peers in traditional schools in mathematics and language arts, though no significant difference was found in science achievement. Social-emotional skills, including social competence and behavioral self-control, were also more developed in Montessori students. Qualitative findings highlighted the perceived benefits of the Montessori approach in fostering independence, creativity, and intrinsic motivation, while traditional education was noted for its structured curriculum and academic rigor. The study suggests that a hybrid educational model integrating elements of both Montessori and traditional methods could optimize educational outcomes, promoting both academic excellence and holistic development.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of emotional intelligence (EI) training on enhancing teacher-student relationships and improving academic performance in middle schools. Using a quasi-experimental design, the research involved 60 teachers and 600 students, with the teachers randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which received EI training, or a control group. Quantitative measures included the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), the Teacher-Student Relationship Inventory (TSRI), and academic performance assessments through grades and standardized test scores. Qualitative data were collected via semi-structured interviews and focus groups. The results indicated significant improvements in teachers' EI levels, better teacher-student relationships, and higher academic performance among students in the intervention group. Qualitative findings corroborated these outcomes, highlighting enhanced communication and classroom climate. These findings underscore the potential benefits of integrating EI training into teacher professional development programs to foster both emotional well-being and academic success among students.
