Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti keberkesanan kaedah e–suara dalam membantu murid-murid pendidikan khas kategori bermasalah pembelajaran dalam menjawab soalan peperiksaan tanpa melakukan modifikasi dari segi isi kandungan atau kualiti soalan peperiksaan berkenaan. Pentaksiran alternatif yang dilakukan dalam kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan penyampaian soalan berbantukan komputer, iaitu suatu transformasi daripada pentaksiran pendekatan konvensional berbentuk paper–and–pencil. Dalam kajian ini, sebanyak 163 orang murid tingkatan 3 pendidikan khas bermasalah pembelajaran dari seluruh negara diambil sebagai sampel kajian. Sampel ini dibahagikan kepada tiga kumpulan, iaitu (1) kumpulan murid yang menjawab soalan peperiksaan dengan menggunakan kaedah konvensional; (2) kumpulan murid yang menjawab soalan peperiksaan dengan menggunakan kaedah e–suara I, iaitu melihat dan mendengar item soalan melalui komputer tetapi menjawab dengan cara biasa/konvensional; (3) kumpulan murid yang menjawab soalan peperiksaan menggunakan kaedah e–suara II, iaitu membaca dan mendengar item soalan melalui komputer dan menjawabnya dengan bantuan komputer. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa tahap pencapaian subjek kajian (SK) pendidikan khas bermasalah pembelajaran yang menggunakan kaedah e–suara II lebih baik dengan skor min sebanyak 8.35 berbanding dengan dua kaedah penilaian lain. Secara keseluruhan, kajian ini membuktikan bahawa kaedah e–suara dapat membantu murid–murid pendidikan khas bermasalah pembelajaran menjawab soalan peperiksaan dengan lebih yakin berbanding dengan kaedah lain.

Findings show that students who answered questions using the e–suara II method performed better in the examination with min score of 8.35 compared to the other two groups. Generaly, e–suara method can help special education students to answer examination question better than the conventional method.

Legal Documents

In special education and rural education interface we find important points about teacher training and their reflexes in the schooling of special education students in rural schools. This paper fulfills the objective of analyzing fundamental documents of the two teaching modalities in question in order to understand mainly what concerns teacher training. The methodological path used in the construction of this text was guided by documentary research of four legal documents of the two teaching modalities. In the policy interface, we saw that the investigated documentation shows concern with the quality of teacher training, although it does not deal with careers and professional development, nor with more specific aspects of the role of Higher Education Institutions in their training. In the end, it is hoped that the discussions presented here will help to promote new and denser research on the fundamental role that teachers play in rural schools.

Maria Ferguson talks with Lindsay E. Jones, president and CEO of the National Center for Learning Disabilities, about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on students with disabilities. So far, there has been little research into the effects of the pandemic, but previous research shows that being away from school has more of an effect on students with learning disabilities. They also discuss how states are planning to use the funds made available under the American Recovery Plan and the challenge of balancing the need for flexibility to distribute funds quickly with the need to ensure that students’ needs are being met.

Strong Positive Relationship

The unemployability among special education students with learning disabilities in Malaysia is seen to be alarming. Their skills often disputed by some of the community and are considered working inefficiently. Hence, this study is conducted to identify the employability skills among the learning disabilities students in Sekolah Menengah Pendidikan Khas (SMPK) Vokasional Indahpura. This quantitative study through a survey method involved 60 of the second year learning disabilities students of SMPK Vokasional Indahpura. A set of questionnaires was adapted from the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) and the General Self-Efficacy (GSE) scale to study the employability skills and self-efficacy were used as the instrument of this study. The data obtained are statistically analysed using frequency, mean, standard deviation, percentage, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson Coefficient through the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 19.0 version. The results have shown that students employability skills and self-efficacy level are moderate. There are significant differences in the students' employability skills in terms of courses attended. However, there were no significant differences in the students' employability skills in terms of career transition. The study has identified there is a strong positive relationship between students self-efficacy and employability skills. It is concluded that special education students with learning disabilities need to improve their employability skills by continuously engaging in the entrepreneurship program, community program, self quality enhancement courses as well as training at the relevant agencies to become a better person, competitive and able to serve the country

Discipline Policies

Preschool special education students’ lack of personal–social skills is affecting their kindergarten readiness and placing them at risk for exposure to school discipline in a large school district in the Southeastern United States. The purpose of this quantitative investigation was to examine the relationship between the quality of school discipline policies and personal–social skills of preschool special education students within the focus district. Data collection included archived personal–social skills scores, as measured by the Battelle Developmental Inventory–2 (BDI-2), of 354 preschool special education students. Four trained educators rated the effectiveness of the schools’ discipline policies using the Teaching and Guidance Policy Essentials Checklist (TAGPEC). Preschool special education students’ personal–social skills were measured using the BDI-2, and discipline policies were measured using the TAGPEC. Findings from simple linear regression analysis indicated no significant relationship between the TAGPEC ratings and students’ BDI-2 scores. The personal–social skills for students in Title I and non-Title I schools (<em>n </em>= 96 students per group) were compared while controlling for TAGPEC ratings, but results showed no statistically significant differences. The average quality of the discipline policies was rated as inadequate overall. A policy recommendation was developed to encourage effective discipline policies and create a supportive school environment to promote positive social behaviors of all students, including the youngest and most vulnerable.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying safety measures, including confinement, has meant an unprecedented challenge for the world population today. However, it has entailed additional difficulties for specific populations, including children and people with disabilities. Being out of school for months has reduced the learning opportunities for many children, such as those with less academic resources at home or with poorer technological connectivity. For students with disabilities, it has entailed losing the quality of the special attention they often need, in addition to a more limited understanding of the situation. In this context, a case study was conducted in a special education classroom of a secondary education school. This class started implementing Dialogic Literary Gatherings with their special education students before the COVID-19 confinement and continued online during the confinement. Qualitative data was collected after a period of implementation of the gatherings showing positive impacts on the participants. The case study shows that interactive learning environments such as the Dialogic Literary Gatherings can provide quality distance learning for students with disabilities, contributing to overcome some of the barriers that the pandemic context creates for the education of these students.

Psychometric data for 290 special education students with specific learning disabilities were reviewed at reevaluation as required by both state and federal regulations. A significant change in scores for 18% of the subjects led to their reclassification as nonhandicapped. Gains in reading and mathematics for those 52 whose classifications changed were significantly higher than gains of those 238 whose classifications were the same.
