The intervention package increased each focus student’s academic engagement with classwide instruction and changed the types of instructional behaviors some general educators directed toward these students. Recommendations are offered for research and practice aimed at engaging general educators in the design and delivery of inclusive interventions.","PeriodicalId":47213,"journal":{"name":"Research and Practice for Persons With Severe Disabilities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1540796921992518","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44790991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Systematic replications are also necessary to determine “what works for whom when.” The purpose of this study was to conduct a conceptual systematic replication to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent treatment package on multiplicative problem solving for middle school students with extensive support needs. Using a modified schema-based instructional strategy, three participants were taught to solve percent of change problems contextualized in real-world scenarios and a purchasing strategy (i.e., next-dollar strategy) to help them determine how much money was needed to pay for services/products. In addition, goal-setting and self-graphing activities supported development of self-determination skills. Findings from the multiple probe across participant design demonstrate a functional relation between the intervention and independent problem-solving behaviors of all three participants. Students also generalized problem-solving behaviors when presented with real-world stimuli of coupons and receipts. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47213,"journal":{"name":"Research and Practice for Persons With Severe Disabilities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1540796920949448","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43204231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Logistic regression analyses showed that whether parents have a college degree and whether students have participated in college entrance or advanced placement tests are factors that are positively associated with parental expectations toward children’s future education.","PeriodicalId":47213,"journal":{"name":"Research and Practice for Persons With Severe Disabilities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1540796920962423","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42701711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
