This essay documents the challenges that active-learning practices pose for students with disabilities and how these challenges are currently being addressed by disability resource centers, or DRCs. Recommendations are presented for instructors and DRC staff who aim to create more inclusive active-learning science classes for students with disabilities.

Science Classes

Seventy-nine students from three science classes conducted simulation-based scientific experiments. They received one of three kinds of instructional support in order to encourage scientific reasoning during inquiry learning: (1) basic inquiry support, (2) advanced inquiry support including explanation prompts, or (3) advanced inquiry support including explanation prompts and regulation prompts. Knowledge test as well as application test results show that students with regulation prompts significantly outperformed students with explanation prompts (knowledge: d = 0.65; application: d = 0.80) and students with basic inquiry support only (knowledge: d = 0.57; application: d = 0.83). The results are in line with a theoretical focus on inquiry learning according to which students need specific support with respect to the regulation of scientific reasoning when developing explanations during experimentation activities.

College students with disabilities redefine activism: Self-advocacy, storytelling, and collective action.
