SEN students have some characteristics that differentiate them from Typical Development (TD) in social aspects. They tend to have poor social skills and sometimes come up with behavioral problems. Children with TD and sometimes teachers have overall negative attitudes that make their social life even more difficult. This study aimed to prove is there any differences between SEN and TD primary school students’ social participation and factors that influenced it. 252 regular and 30 SEN students involved in a causal-comparative study for four aspects of social participation. Fieldwork used two sociometric questionnaires and a Peer Social Self-Concept instrument. Results indicated that there are differences between social interaction, peer acceptance, reciprocal friendship, and peer social self-concept. Explanatory case studies in two schools with positive and negative social participation revealed that peer acceptance, reciprocal friendship, and social interaction influenced by disabilities type and negative attitude towards SEN. Besides, peer social self-concept influenced exclusively by negative attitudes towards SEN. School management, education about social matters for SEN, TD, and parents expected to improve social participation in SEN.

Project Based Learning (PBL) is a student-oriented learning approach based on activities or projects. This study aims to describe the PBL learning model for students in vocational education courses for children with intellectual disabilities. This research focuses on vocational learning for students with modality-based intellectual disabilities; syntax implementation in the PBL model and lesson plans. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The results showed that through PBL learning there was an increase in student competence in the following aspects: 1) Understanding of the concept of the PBL learning model; 2) the ability to analyze Competencies, especially the mapping of competency units from the Special Competency Standards for Persons with Disabilities in accordance with aspects of knowledge and skills in Competencies; 3) competency in compiling task analysis; 4) competence in understanding the modalities of students with intellectual disabilities. Therefore, the PBL learning model strategy needs to be continuously implemented to form good competence for students as prospective special education teachers.

In the last two decades, interest in inclusive education has grown, and researchers have begun to study teachers’ attitudes toward it. However, few studies have examined both pre-service and in-service teachers’ perspectives, particularly in Japan. Therefore, the current study contributed to investigating the attitudes and self-efficacy of pre-service and in-service teachers toward inclusive education in Japan. A descriptive survey was used to collect data for quantitative analysis. Firstly, no significant main effects and interactions of attitudes were found for all independent variables. Next, it was found that there were two main effects on the self-efficacy scale: training and prior contact with disabilities. Finally, two predictors for the attitude scale were found: self-efficacy and training in inclusive education and special needs education. These results implied a better understanding of the attitudes and self-efficacy of pre-service and in-service teachers. They provided insight into how to improve teacher training for inclusive quality education for all, as envisioned by SDG 4.

The current quasi-experimental study aims to investigate the efficacy of mnemonic strategies (Visual imagery and Story-linking) to improve the basic multiplication fact retrieval of grade 3 students with mathematics difficulties. The authors employed a quantitative approach within the matching-only pretest-post-test control group design to analyze the data on 206 subjects, of whom 78 exhibited mathematical difficulties. The study was conducted in eight inclusive primary schools in Purwakarta City, Indonesia. The research findings indicated that the N-gain acquisition of students in the experimental group (0.38) outperformed students in the control group (0.11). Similarly, the N-gain acquisition of students with mathematics difficulties in the experimental group (0.26) indicated a higher enhancement than those in the control group (0.08). Overall, the mnemonic strategies improved the students’ retrieval of basic multiplication facts on students with and without mathematics difficulties. However, mnemonic strategies have successfully achieved two of the Sustainable Development Goals 4 (SDG 4) by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development on ensuring students with disabilities as one of the vulnerable groups, have equal access to education and guaranteeing both male and females are literate and numerically literate. These findings have practical implications for educators, providing them with actionable insights to develop effective teaching strategies for students with mathematics difficulties.

Writing is a facet of learning and daily communication. However, many deaf and hard-of-hearing learners (DHHLs) struggle with writing despite teachers’ efforts to teach writing effectively. For decades, researchers have developed interventions and theories for improving writing instruction with limited implementation research to assess what works and what does not, for whom, where, and how. The international goal to achieve quality education through Sustainable Development Goal 4, with target 4.6 for improving literacy skills by 2030, has increased awareness of improving learners’ literacy skills in developing countries, including those with disabilities. However, there is limited research on evidence-based interventions in improving DHHLs’ literacy skills, particularly in writing. One of these interventions is the self-regulated strategy development model (SRSD). This study describes the implementation of SRSD in Lesotho with two Grade 6 DHHLs, specifically focusing on identifying the teacher’s instructional adaptations and learners’ development as writers during SRSD instruction. This study also considers the pedagogical implications of SRSD instruction when used with DHHLs with limited English backgrounds.
