  • From eligibility to decision‐making

    Open AccessDavid S Meixieira, João Lopes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Special…2026

    Multidisciplinary Teams for Inclusive Education (EMAEI) must determine which students require support beyond classroom instruction.

This study, conducted through two focus groups, aimed to investigate referral and decision‐making processes for support measures in Portugal. Importantly, within the Portuguese f…

  • Unraveling teachers' attributional patterns

    Open AccessCélia Oliveira, João Lopes et al.ARTICLETeaching and Teacher Education2026References: 3

    Teachers' attributions for student misbehavior have been widely studied. However, few studies have examined how teachers in school settings differ in their attributional reasoning using a person-centered method. This study investigates attributional patterns among Portuguese teachers and their association with professional well-being. Using data from 1.165 teachers in grades 1–9, a latent class analysis identified three distinct profiles: Broad A…

  • Profiles of Classroom Management Across Five Countries

    Open AccessCélia Oliveira, João LopesARTICLEEducation Sciences2025

    Classroom management is a crucial aspect of effective teaching. However, little is known about how teachers’ approaches vary across countries. This study identified classroom management profiles using data from the OECD’s Teaching and Learning International Survey in five countries: Brazil, Canada (Alberta), Japan, Portugal, and South Africa. We applied latent class analysis (LCA) to four behavioral indicators, testing structural invariance and e…

  • Interventions for Students with or at Risk for Reading Difficulties in Grades K-2

    Soraia Araújo, João Lopes et al.ARTICLEEarly Education and Development2025

    Research Findings: Despite the extensive literature on reading intervention, there remains a need for further research to examine the conditions under which supplemental instruction is most effective, particularly for students in the early years of schooling who are learning to read in an alphabetic language other than English. Therefore, this study systematically reviewed recent literature to identify the structure, contents, and instructional m…

  • Iron(III) based Metal-Organic Frameworks in cellulose acetate film preservation

    Open AccessAbeer Al Mohtar, Maria Inês Severino et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Heritage2024References: 17

    Low-temperature storage to slow down degradation is accepted by the film conservation community. Still, this solution prohibits public access, is price-sensitive, has high energy costs, and there are concerns about their effects on the physical stability and material lifetime. In this research, a smart solution is developed based on the selective capture of acetic acid produced by the cellulose acetate polymer. This innovative approach is based o…

  • Imagining and Reimagining the Future of Special and Inclusive Education

    Open AccessJames M Kauffman, Dimitris Anastasiou et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2022

    “Reimagination” is required to create a new vision of education that better serves individuals with disabilities. Imagination is a way of conceiving possibilities and probabilities. The future of special education is imagined within the limits of possibility and probability of “appropriate” education for children with special educational needs and disabilities. Education is reimagined for full inclusion without special education and an alternativ…

  • An evaluation of the Behavior and Instructional Management Scale's psychometric properties using Portuguese teachers

    Open AccessDaniel A Sass, João Lopes et al.ARTICLETeaching and Teacher Education2016References: 6

    Classroom management research is an important topic as teachers cannot effectively educate students in unstructured environments. With that said, few psychometrically sound measures are available to measure behavior and instructional management. Using 1520 Portuguese teachers, we evaluated the Behavior and Instructional Management Scale's (BIMS) psychometric properties using Bayesian estimation and found that the original 12-item scale provided r…

  • Questões e modelos de avaliação e intervenção em Psicologia Escolar

    Open AccessJoão Lopes, Leandro Da Silva AlmeidaARTICLEEstudos de Psicologia (Campinas)2015

    As práticas da Psicologia Escolar parecem ser cada vez mais marcadas pelas necessidades de referenciação/diagnóstico de crianças para o subsistema de educação especial, em detrimento do desenho e implementação de intervenções dirigidas aos problemas específicos dos alunos.

  • Biologising reading problems

    João LopesARTICLEContemporary Social Science2012References: 5

    Biologising the problems of reading has a long tradition. However, modern and non-invasive techniques, like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), that allow the mapping of changes in brain hemodynamic that corresponds to mental operations, boosted a wave of new research on the subject. This paper traces the history of treating a problem in teaching/learning as a disease-like condition. It also examines the beliefs of professionals in rela…

  • Auto-conceito em adolescentes institucionalizadas
