Notations are fundamental in mathematics and related fields, but their design has overlooked the diverse needs of different users. Recent insights into neurodiversity highlight how certain design choices can either hinder or facilitate comprehension for neurodiverse students.
This study examined the effectiveness of video modeling combined with small group instruction to teach leisure skills using waste materials to three individuals with multiple disabilities.
This article analyses over 1,200 legal and policy documents from 193 countries to assess global efforts toward educational equity, focusing on barriers related to income, disability, gender, and discrimination. It reveals significant gaps, including tuition fees before secondary school, lack of protections against sexual harassment and disability discrimination, and limited provisions for inclusive education.
This study explores how students’ autonomy, competence, and relatedness at school relate to their wellbeing, focusing on girls, students with special educational needs (SEN), and low socioeconomic status (SES) students
This article focuses on whether handwriting and typing contribute differentially to lexical acquisition within the alphabetic system, providing distinct sensorimotor experiences for words through different motor actions and consequent attentional and time constraints in producing letters. We examined a sample of middle school students with reading and spelling disabilities alongside age-matched peers with typical development.
This chapter explores ethical challenges in the research, development, and commercialization of neural interfaces, aligning with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by ensuring safe and responsible innovation in neurotechnology, SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) through fostering ethical advancement in cutting-edge technologies, and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) by addressing issues of distributive justice and equitable access to emerging neurotechnologies.
The paper critically examines the assumption that access to electricity (SDG 7) inherently promotes gender equality (SDG 5). It finds that the gendered impacts of electricity access vary widelysometimes empowering women, but other times reinforcing existing inequalities. To better understand these dynamics, the authors develop a new theoretical framework that merges:
Gender Studies insights on gender as performative, intersectional, and shaped by power relations.
Social Practice Theory, which explores how electricity gains meaning through its role in everyday practices.
This framework is applied to case studies in rural Guatemala (patriarchal) and rural Colombia (matrilineal), revealing how cultural context shapes outcomes. The paper also introduces an 8-step methodology for applying this framework in practice.
Ultimately, the study offers tools for designing context-sensitive energy policies that are more likely to advance gender equality.
This study explores the development and refinement of a technology-enhanced embodied learning environment at Camp Expression, a reverse-inclusion camp for children with moderate-to-severe communication disabilities.
The study examines health insurance coverage and its association with healthcare use and financial protection among people with disabilities in Indonesia.
To mark its 20th anniversary, the Elsevier Foundation has released an impact report highlighting its key partnerships and achievements.
