Towards minding the disability achievement gap: the case of technology-enhanced inclusive embodied design for integer arithmetic
Abstract Whereas constructivist pedagogy promotes the use of interactive learning materials for students to make sense of new concepts, some concepts are difficult to concretize, and consequently educators might rely instead on axiomatic procedural rules. Such compromised educational design most affects students with…
