Teaching self-regulation strategies with SOLVE IT to two students with learning disabilities: Effects on mathematical problem-solving performance

International audience1 paraskevikeffe@yahoo.gr, 2 idermitzaki@uth.gr, 3 sotitzivi@uth.gr, 4 hastath@uth.gr The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether teaching self-regulation strategies via "Solve it" to students with learning disabilities could affect their problem-solving performance in mathematics. The mathematical problems involved four mathematical operations with natural and decimal numbers. Also, the present study investigated the effect of "Solve it" instruction on students' self-efficacy and value related to mathematics. It was a single-subject design with a pre-test, four repeated post-tests and a maintenance test. The results indicated that the students' problem-solving performance was improved and their self-efficacy and value attributed to mathematics were increased
