Background and objective: A scoping review was conducted to determine what is currently known about the procedure in the classroom setting by which nursing faculty construct academic accommodations for undergraduate nursing students with learning disabilities. The number of nursing students with disabilities is growing, and nursing students with identified learning disabilities require academic accommodations to facilitate their success. Effective understanding of the academic accommodation procedure by faculty is necessary to promote student success and inclusive learning environments within nursing education.Methods: The framework from Arksey and O’Malley was used to identify gaps in the literature related to the procedure in the classroom setting by which nursing faculty construct academic accommodations for students with learning disabilities.Results: The themes of faculty attitude, previously used accommodations, and lack of understanding of the procedure of accommodation implementation were derived from the literature.Conclusions: Current research fails to adequately answer the research question related to the procedure by which nursing faculty in the classroom setting construct academic accommodations for students with learning disabilities. Further research into the procedure by which faculty make academic accommodations in the nursing education classroom is needed.
In recent years, educational robotics is gaining ground in the educational policy of more and more places around the world in both formal and non-formal education programs. Also, the usefulness of educational robotics in special education for the treatment of deficits of students with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism, especially at the level of student inclusion, is strongly supported. In the present work, the findings of a pilot educational research in a general education school are presented with the participation of students with special educational needs.
Successful transition from school to employment requires a variety of services, one of which is vocational education at the secondary level. Students with learning disabilities have difficulties meeting the academic demands of mainstream vocational education programs. The TRAC model for assessing and developing academic skills for 26 vocational education programs is described. The TRAC program is designed for use by special education teachers in conjunction with vocational educators to provide a positive first experience for students with learning disabilities in the long transition process to adult competence.
