In this context, it was tried to determine the students' interest in the computer, their evaluation of the information technologies they took in the past and what subjects they want to improve themselves in this field. Within the scope of the research conducted in qualitative design, a meeting was held in which 6 faculty members who are experts in the field of Computer and Instructional Technologies Education, 5 teachers working in the Science and Arts Center and 13 students of different age groups attending the Science and Arts Center were brought together. Faculty members answered current questions by providing up-to-date information on their areas of expertise. Various applications have been carried out with the participation of teachers and students, focusing on the use of up-to-date hardware and software. After the meeting, written opinions of the students about computer thoughts, which topics they want to improve themselves and their suggestions for Information Technologies courses were taken. The data obtained from the video recording and written forms made during the meeting were analyzed and the findings were reached. Students mostly want to improve themselves on programming and coding and to be a designer, not a user of ready-made software in their areas of interest. There is an expectation that courses in information technology include programming, game development, animation / cartoons, use of different software and hardware, algorithm, 3D modeling / graphic design and recognition of current technologies.

Mathematics may seem to be a difficult subject,however, students with learning disabilities (LD) face more challenges in learning the subject.

This systematic literature review attempts to critically present what kind of knowledge that SE teachers need to teach mathematics effectively. Nineteen papers were selected from Scopus as the leading database and few supporting databases such as Sage and Science Direct. This study identified subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge as the core expertise for SE teachers with knowledge about students with LD characteristics as the supporting knowledge.

The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and Spearman correlation coefficient.Considering the result of current study it can be said that ADHD and Eating disorders are related to one another, because based on the evidence gathered, these two variables have similar neurobiological properties and clinical features, and thus ADHD has the ability of eating disorder occurrence anticipation. \u0000 \u0000Keyword: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; Diet; Eating disorder; Impulsivity","PeriodicalId":201076,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Special Education and Information Technologies","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128781510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to literature review findings, these learning methods are considered beneficial in terms of learning purposes directed to students with learning disabilities since they do raise students’ interest and engagement in the learning procedure, enhance their cognitive abilities and assist them to develop self-esteem, problem-solving strategies and, finally, a solid collaborative attitude.
