Providing large numbers of general education students with an introduction to science is a challenge. To meet this challenge, a quarter-long neurophysiology project was developed for use in an introductory biology course. The primary goals of this multistep project were to introduce students to the scientific method, scientific writing, on-line scientific bibliographic databases, and the scientific literature, while improving their academic literacy skills. Students began by collecting data on their own circadian rhythms in autonomic, motor, and cognitive function, reliably demonstrating the predicted circadian changes in heart rate, eye-hand coordination, and adding speed. Students wrote a journal-style article using pooled class data. Students were prepared to write the paper by several methods that were designed to improve academic language skills, including a library training exercise, "modeling" of the writing assignment, and drafting of subsections of the paper. This multistep neurophysiology project represents a significant commitment of time by both students and instructors, but produces a valuable finished product and ideally gives introductory students a positive first experience with science.

El proyecto ejecutado consistió en la aplicación de materiales didácticos sustentados en el método fónico-analítico-sintético para el desarrollo de la lectoescritura en estudiantes de tercer año de Educación General Básica. Este proyecto tiene como finalidad mejorar la adquisición de la lectoescritura aplicándolo a inicios del año lectivo para reforzar el aprendizaje adquirido en los años anteriores. Al inicio se efectuó una encuesta dirigida a los docentes de la institución de los grados correspondientes, luego se realizó una observación directa a los estudiantes que permitió conocer el nivel de desarrollo cognitivo y grafológico en la lectoescritura. Una vez tabulado los datos obtenidos en la presente investigación se realizó la aplicación de los materiales didácticos apropiados para conseguir el objetivo planteado. Los materiales seleccionados se sustentan en el método fónico-analítico-sintético y se aplicaron con su respectiva planificación y un instrumento de control para verificar el progreso. Finalmente los resultados que se obtuvieron al culminar la ejecución del proyecto fueron satisfactorios, verificados a partir de la contrastación de los indicadores en el antes y el después de la intervención y comparado con otro grupo en el que no se aplicó los materiales, lo que demostró que mediante la aplicación de los materiales didácticos los estudiantes de tercer año de Educación General Básica lograron desarrollar las habilidades de la lectoescritura. PALABRAS CLAVE: lectoescritura; habilidades; métodos; didáctica. APPLICATION OF SUSTAINED DIDACTIC MATERIALS IN THE AUDIO-ANALYTIC-SYNTHETIC METHOD TO DEVELOP THE LECTURE-WRITING IN BASIC GENERAL EDUCATION STUDENTS ABSTRACT The project was executed in the application of teaching materials for literacy development in the third year students of General Basic Education. At the beginning a survey of teachers in a institution of the corresponding degrees was made after direct observation of the students was performed and an observation guide that was used to determine the level of cognitive development and literacy handwriting was developed. Once tabulated data obtained in this investigation that appropriate techniques are performed to achieve the objective. Selected techniques were applied to their respective planning and control instrument to check progress. Finally the results obtained on completion of the project implementation were satisfactory because they showed that by applying the teaching materials students of third year of General Basic Education succeeded in developing literacy skills. KEYWORDS: literacy; skills; methods; didactic.

Class Participation

This study examined the meaning of “belonging” or membership in four secondary level general education classes. One or two students with moderate or severe disabilities were enrolled in each of these classes. Participant observations and interviews were used to gain an understanding of participation and membership from the perspectives of students without disabilities who attended these classes. Findings indicated that student membership depends on affiliation with a subgroup of peers within the class. General class participation and interactions influenced an individual's status within the group, but were not enough to create member status. General education students also reported taking active steps when they joined a class to get connected with a subgroup. In these classes, only two students with disabilities connected with subgroups and were, therefore, viewed as members. Considerations are offered for promoting classroom membership for students with moderate or severe disabilities.

College Participation

This study investigates findings from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), comparing various aspects of student engagement between honors college and general education students. Responses from 1,339 honors college students and 7,191 general education students across 15 different universities suggest a positive impact for honors college participation on reflective and integrative learning, use of learning strategies, collaborative learning, diverse discussions, student–faculty interaction, and quality of interactions for first-year students, even when controlling for student and institutional characteristics. For senior students, honors college participation was related to more frequent student–faculty interaction. Potential experiential and curricular reasons for these differences are discussed, along with implications for educators, researchers, parents, and students.

Students With Severe Disabilities

This study compared the instructional contexts of 15 students with severe disabilities who were educated in general education elementary classrooms, and 15 general education students in those same classrooms. Results suggest that (a) different instructional contexts existed for students with severe disabilities; (b) more individualized instructional supports were provided for the students with severe disabilities, including one-to-one instruction, small group instruction provided by special education staff, physical and gestural prompting, and teacher focus on the student with severe disabilities; (c) most of the more individualized supports were provided by special education staff. Implications for supporting students with severe disabilities in general education elementary classrooms are discussed.

K 12

We compared threats of violence made by K–12 students in special education (120 cases) or general education (136 cases) in schools that were implementing threat assessment guidelines for managing student threats of violence (Cornell, Sheras, Kaplan, McConville, Posey, Levy-Elkon, et al., 2004; Cornell & Sheras, in press). Students in special education made disproportionately more threats, as well as more severe threats, than peers in general education. Students classified as emotionally disturbed (ED) exhibited the highest threat rates. Nevertheless, use of school suspension as a disciplinary consequence for threats was consistent for students in special and general education, and few students were expelled. Our findings support the use of threat assessment to manage threats of violence by students in special education.
