How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Inclusive education requires a dynamic and flexible approach to meet the diverse needs of students with special educational needs (SEN). In Kazakhstan, inclusive education is supported by several legal frameworks, such as the Law on Education, the State Program for the Development of Education (2020–2025), and the National Plan to Ensure the Rights of Persons with Disabilities until 2025.This study explores the methodological features of teaching mathematics to students with SEN in general secondary schools. The research focuses on the development and implementation of teaching strategies tailored to students’ specific diagnoses. An experimental program was piloted in three schools in the Karaganda region, involving 87 students (including 19 with SEN) and 14 mathematics teachers. The study applied differentiated instruction, ICT-based teaching methods, and game-based learning approaches.The results demonstrated a 25% increase in academic performance among SEN students and a significant improvement in classroom engagement and motivation. The study highlights effective methodological strategies and provides recommendations for integrating SENstudents into mainstream mathematics education.
