Part of learning mathematics is learning the mathematical language. Learning disabilities are defined as disorders that are related to listening, thinking, speaking, writing, and reading that are seen in the processes of understanding or using a verbal or written language. In this context, the present study aimed to reveal the understanding and usage of the mathematical language of students with learning disabilities in the context of the concept of length. This study was conducted as a case study. The participants of the study were 4th grade and 5th grade students with learning disabilities. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured clinical interviews during a teaching experiment based on the concept of length and analysed using the content analysis method. According to the findings, the students with learning disabilities had a different and limited understanding, as well as usage of various mathematical terms including length, height, perimeter, half and centimetre.  \nKeywords: mathematical language, learning disabilities, length concept, mathematics education, special education  \nIntroduction  \nMathematics is known as a universal language and in practice, even though mathematics is believed to be independent of language, mathematics is very much language dependent (Kim, Ferrini-Mundy, & Sfard, 2012). Mathematics uses its own code and symbol systems that facilitate the transmission of ideas in a clear and precise way to formulate its own concepts and development (Sastre, D’Andrea, Villacampa, & Navarro, 2013). Learning mathematics means to learn the use of these systems, in other words, the language (Schleppegrell, 2007). Thus, the language affects learning mathematics (Kim, Ferrini-Mundy, & Sfard, 2012; Muzvehe & Capraro, 2012). As a matter of fact, Peng et al. (2020) found a moderate correlation between mathematics and language in their meta-analysis of 344 studies. Mathematical proficiency and language ability equally affect students’numerical abilities (Prince & Frith, 2020). As a matter of fact, even daily language skills affect mathematics learning. Abedi and Lord (2001) showed that students learning the language contained in mathematics tests were less successful than students fluent in that particular language. Similarly, a study by Seethaler, Fuchs, Star, and Bryant (2011) showed that students with stronger language skills benefited more from teaching and were more successful in problem-solving strategies than their peers with weaker language skills. Language processes have often been underestimated in teaching mathematics. However, if these processes  \n*  \nResearch Assistant, Bayburt University, Turkey.  \n±Professor, Gazi University, Turkey.  \n[https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.9-1-6](https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.9-1-6) doi=10.30958/aje.9-1-6  \nare not organized carefully, various problems can arise (Morin & Franks, 2009) . The predictive role of language acquisition in mathematics achievement in preschool and primary school has been proven by recent studies (Purpura, Day, Napoli, & Hart, 2017; Vanluydt, Supply, Verschaffel, & Van Dooren, 2021) . For example, the connections that students make between language and written symbols can differ from those made by adults (Muzvehe & Capraro, 2012). Vygotsky (1934/1986) stated that children used words in the same sense as adults could not be claimed (cited in Raiker, 2002). Shaftel, Belton-Kocher, Glasnapp, and Poggio (2006) supported this view, and according to their study conducted with 4th, 7th and 10th grade students they found that the 4th grade students were more affected by the complex language in verbal problems than the other students. They attributed this result to the less sophisticated verbal language skills of the 4th grade students. There is also powerful evidence that mathematical and language ","cbCailzt6C7F3H4s","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailzt6C7F3H4s","pdf",576143,24,"English","# Introduction\n## Mathematics as language-dependent learning\n## Language skills, achievement, and learning disabilities\n# Present Study\n## Aim and research context\n## Method and participants\n## Data collection and analysis\n## Findings","[{\"question\":\"What is the study’s main purpose regarding students with learning disabilities?\",\"answer\":\"To reveal how students with learning disabilities understand and use mathematical language in the context of the concept of length.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted?\",\"answer\":\"The study used a case study design with semi-structured clinical interviews during a teaching experiment on length, analyzed using content analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"What terms related to length were highlighted in the findings?\",\"answer\":\"The study reports different, limited understanding and usage of terms including length, height, perimeter, half, and centimetre.\"}]","Mathematical Language of Students with Learning Disabilities in the Context of Length | PDF",1792076455]
