ABSTRACT

This research reviewed 40 intervention research studies in social studies for students with learning disabilities or difficulties. We classified the studies by the knowledge system, which are factual, conceptual, and procedural knowledge. As a result, the interventions for building factual knowledge were identified as computer-assisted instruction, guided notes, and mnemonic strategy instruction. For conceptual knowledge, there were graphic organizer, organizing contents, and debate. Lastly, in order to build students’ procedural knowledge, there were cognitive strategy instruction and investigative learning, and cognitive strategies included general literacy strategies and domain-specific strategies. The concept, rationale, instructional principles and procedures of each intervention were described, based on analysis of the 40 articles. The ways to improve and balance these three types of knowledge across all subject areas in social studies were discussed. Also, suggestions for further research were discussed in the aspects of the trends of interventions across three knowledge areas and research methodology.
