RECENT RESEARCH IN SECONDARY CONTENT AREAS FOR STUDENTS WITH LEARNING AND BEHAVIORAL DISABILITIES

Abstract

In this chapter, recent research applications in secondary content-area instruction for students with learning or behavioral disabilities are reviewed. Included are research studies in the areas of English, SAT vocabulary, world history, algebra, social studies, and chemistry. Generally, instructional strategies that have included strategy instruction, peer mediation, as well as mnemonics and other verbal elaborations, have been effective in substantially improving learning performance. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
