چکیده
The number of students with disabilities and specifically attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) entering postsecondary STEM education has been increasing in recent decades. However, many instructors popular research-based curricula are not prepared to support such learner variation. views experiences people uniform, either across diagnoses or within a single diagnosis, as ADHD. Thus, individuals’ thoughts about how ADHD physics courses will vary. We present from one student strategies can use help her succeed introductory courses.

Understanding Student Answers In Introductory Physics Courses
Many assigned problems in introductory physics courses require the student to formulate a system of algebraic equations that describe a physical situation. An Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) designed to help must be able to identify which physical quantity each student variable represents, and which fundamental laws each of her equations incorporates. Many ITS’s predefine the variables ([4,2]...
متن کاملA longitudinal analysis of students’ motivational characteristics in introductory physics courses: Gender differences
The lack of diversity and the under-performance of underrepresented students in STEM courses have been the focus of researchers in the last decade. In particular, many hypotheses have been put forth for the reasons for the underrepresentation and under-performance of women in physics. Here, we present a framework for helping all students learn in science courses that takes into account four fac...
