Learning is a unique process for each learner, affected by many instructional and learning factors. Exploring the process of learning is an ongoing expedition, never-ending and challenging as well. It is learnt that no individual, particular strategy, method or approach is appropriate for helping intellectually disabled students in learning or achieving all competencies including Learning Science. Every disability, however mild or moderate, imposes on the individual certain functional limitations. Technology helps to mitigate such limitations thus promoting learning. An accessible assistive technology permits either no or minimal adaptation by students with disabilities in the use of technology in academic settings. The techniques of accessibility are based on recent technologies and design strategies to allow more flexible use of content and easier implementation of dynamic methods and models in instruction. Technology-oriented learning environment employing Accessible Technology ensures educational equity by providing access and equitable learning opportunity through personalized and differentiated instruction which can accommodate each learner's needs and preferences.

This research was designed to assess the state of mind of sports leaders of children with autism. Their moods were analyzed using age and gender variables. Also, suggestions were made at the end of the research based on the results of the evaluation. The population of the research comprised of sports leaders of children with autism; the sample of the research was 50 sports leaders (26 female, 24 male) of autistic children in the Anatolian area of Istanbul. The Symptoms Checklist-90 Revised (SCL-90-R) was used to determine the moods of the sports leaders. This scale was developed by Derogatis et al. (Derogatis, Lipman, Richels, 1974), and its validity and reliability studies were actualized by Kiliç (Kiliç, 2016) in Turkey. Regarding the analysis of data, frequency and percentage analyses were utilized to specify the descriptive characteristics of the sports leaders that participated in the study. T-test and Tukey test were used to review the differences in psychological symptom levels based on the descriptive characteristics of the sample group. There was no statistically significant difference in the gender variable of sports leaders of children with autism (p&gt;0.05). As age increases, the levels of obsessive-compulsive disorder, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, anger-hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid thought, and General Severity Index (GSI) also increase. However, a significant difference was found solely in the anxiety sub-dimension (ANX) (p&lt;0.05).

In this study, the visual assessment of building facades, which define the boundaries of avenues, were based on the color factor with the aim of revealing its effect on the aesthetic perception of a city. Being part of the façade coloring work implemented in the Province of Antalya, the facades along the Avenues of Gulluk, Yuzuncuyil and Mevlana were selected as the sample for this study. In the first stage of this study, a survey assessment form was developed with reference to similar studies. For the online survey, random participants were asked to evaluate the former and current appearance photos showing the coloring work on the selected avenues based on five selected criteria (Like-Dislike, Boring-Exciting, Compatible-Incompatible, Disturbing-Relaxing, Appealing-Unappealing). Research suggest that coloring work did not have a significantly positive effect neither on the aesthetic value of the city nor on people's degree of liking of the avenues. However, in scope of given criteria, different relations do emerge when the degree of liking scores for the former and current appearance is evaluated. There is a strong relation between Compatible-Incompatible criteria and degree of liking before the coloring work however, the relation between Boring-Exciting criteria and degree of liking after the coloring work is stronger. Accordingly, it is possible to say that the standard colors used formerly on the avenue facades were liked because they were compatible however, the applied colors are liked because they are found more exciting.

Methods to handle ordered-categorical indicators in latent variable interactions have been developed, yet they have not been widely applied. This article compares the performance of two popular latent variable interaction modeling approaches in handling ordered-categorical indicators: unconstrained product indicator (UPI) and latent moderated structural equations (LMS). We conducted a simulation study across sample sizes, indicators' distributions and category conditions. We also studied four strategies to create sets of product indicators for UPI. Results supported using a parceling strategy to create product indicators in the UPI approach or using the LMS approach when the categorical indicators are symmetrically distributed. We applied these models to study the interaction effect between third- to fifth-grade students' social skills improvement and teacher-student closeness on their state English language arts test scores.
