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.

Editor’s Introduction: In January 2015, members of the Editorial Board of The Journal of Transformative Leader-ship and Policy Studies (JTLPS) conducted an interview with Dr. Robert Reilly, CAPSES board member, to engage on issues surrounding special education in the 21st cen-tury. This reflective essay was culled from a transcribed interview and themed around six major areas: access, special education policy, services supported by CAPSES, social justice, teacher preparation, and creating an inclu-sive school culture for children with special needs. CAPSES primary mission is to maximize the potential of individuals with disabilities by advocating for them in public policy, and promoting high quality instruction, guidance, therapy and staff development. CAPSES is ded-icated to preserving and enhancing the leadership role of the private sector in offering alternative quality services to individuals with disabilities. By providing the highest quality instruction, therapy and guidance and advocacy to their clients, CAPSES members strive to help special education students maximize their potential and lead independent and dignified lives.

The study substantiates the urgent need to train qualified specialists capable of responding to cyber incidents and countering cyber threats in a short time, conducting state audits and creating effective management systems for information security and cybersecurity. The aim of the work is to reveal the ways and features of the organization of the study of mathematical disciplines in order to effectively train higher education students majoring in 125 «Cybersecurity». The role of the mathematical component of cybersecurity and the organization of the educational process of mathematical disciplines for the purpose of effective professional training of future cybersecurity specialists is considered. It is concluded that most professionally-oriented disciplines that provide basic knowledge in all aspects of information security are based on fundamental mathematical training. The study argues that the applied problems solved by the students of the specialty 125 «Cybersecurity» must meet the methodological requirements for real practical content, which provides an illustration of the practical value and significance of the acquired mathematical knowledge in the cyber- and/or information security field. The solution to the problem of improving the quality of mathematical training of the students is considered through the use of intra-subject and interdisciplinary links, the introduction of applied orientation of mathematical disciplines and the principle of continuity. The paper presents examples of professionally oriented tasks that are offered to higher education students majoring in 125 «Cybersecurity» studying mathematical disciplines. It is proved that the introduction of applied orientation of mathematical disciplines creates the necessary conditions and attracts students to the professional sphere, which is an important step towards improving the quality of training of cybersecurity professionals.

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. Kata kunci: Pentaksiran; e–suara; pendidikan khas; peperiksaan; teknologi pendidikan This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of e–suara in helping special education students categorized as learning disabilities in answering examination questions without changing the content or quality of the questions. The alternative evaluation carried out in this research was computeraided which was a transformation from the conventional paper–and–pencil approach. A total of 163 special education form two students nationwide were selected as sample in the research. They were divided into three groups; (1) group of students who answered the examination questions by using the conventional method; (2) students who answered the examination questions by using the e–suara I method, that is seeing and reading and listening to the examination questions through computer but answered the questions by using the conventional method; and (3) group of students who used e–suara II method that is seeing/reading and listening to examination questions and answered using the computer. 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.

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.

The purpose of this study was to determine if significantly different opinions existed between parents of regular education students and parents of special education students concerning (a) school involvement, (b) quality of instruction, and (c) equality of educational opportunity. Data were gathered from a telephone survey of 1,702 randomly selected parents. Results showed a comparable pattern of responses between parents of handicapped and nonhandicapped students. Apparently, whether a child was enrolled in regular or special education had only a negligible effect on either parent involvement or satisfaction with the schools.
