Many governments have taken an interest in inclusive education, and numerous initiatives have been implemented to aid students with learning challenges in school. The teacher realizes that students with special needs are bearing extra responsibilities in class. This is due to the employment of unskilled instructors and teachers with no training in special education. In addition to teachers who are unprepared to cope with students with special needs, se parents are oblivious of their children\'s circumstances. The objective of this study is to discover what interventions parents and teachers can give. There are several treatments available for children with learning issues, including group intervention, teacher-created educational materials, home schooling, phonology and orthography, and many more. Students with learning challenges gain from the above-described treatment because they display improved learning capacity and can catch up with their peers.

This article is the result of the research Design of a Pedagogical Route for the Evaluation of Competencies using Electronic Portfolios in Distributed and Heterogeneous Environments of Learning Based on its Application carried out by Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia.\nBased on practical experience, one of the objectives of this research study is to perfect the use of electronic portfolios suggested in the roadmap. There is vast experience on working with portfolios in higher education. Other relevant aspects related to electronic portfolio usage are peer review and self-evaluation that can be carried out through reflections and comments.\nThis is a multi-method research study because quantitative and qualitative methods and techniques were used to gather and analyse data, such as semi-structured interviews, documentary analyses and surveys. To process the information, the following tools were used: ATLAS.ti, Le Sphinx and Excel dynamic tables.\nThus, teachers and students find collection portfolios a useful strategy to develop critical thinking, boost meaningfulness in learning, encourage cooperation and contribution, follow-up on the teaching–learning process by teachers and students and allow students to improve continuously.\nThe fundamental channels included in self-evaluation are the reflections provided by students regarding their learning and the comments made with regard to evidence and reflections from classmates. Learning becomes more meaningful when it is related to future professional performance.\nPortfolios enable three elements of competence to be assessed: knowing how to know, knowing how to do and knowing how to be.\nIn this study, the multiple advantages of using portfolio collection for the processes of hetero-evaluation, self-evaluation and peer evaluation for better training of students are shown.

The study was attempted to determine the efficiency of the card game named ‘MedTerm’ upon the students’ achievements of the medical terms. The research was one group pre-test and post-test research design and the study group consisted of the first-year students (N=46) of the elderly care program of the vocational school of health services of a university in northern Turkey. All students played the card game named ‘MedTerm’ in order to learn medical terms. Achievement scores related to medical terms before and after the game were evaluated. At the end of the study, a statistically significant difference was found between the pre-test mean scores and the post-test mean scores in favour of the post-test (t=23.553, p<0.05). In accordance with the data obtained, it can be said that the ‘MedTerm’ card game increases elderly care program students’ sound and partial understandings of medical terms and their achievements.

The subject of learning difficulties has been discussed by the academic community ceaselessly. However, despite not being a new problematic, it is an unresolved question which requires wide commitment. In this context, the main objective of the present research is to analyze the state of art of scientific production about the theme of learning difficulties in the countries that compose Latin America and the Caribbean, according to the platforms Web of Science and Scopus. Based on the principles of Systematic Literature Review (SLR), the corpus available on the context of the terms “learning disability” and “learning disabilities” was explored, from a survey of 18,188 articles on the basis and by means of the application of selection filters, 217 articles were extracted for the corpus of the present research. In order to compile the data, HistCiteTM, VOSviewer and Iramuteq softwares were employed. The modality of textual analysis of the research corpus combined with metric studies was adopted to contextualize the indicators related to the production (authors, countries, keywords, time evolution and most widespread journals on the theme). All contributed to the formulation of the categorization in physiological and behavioral aspects and the research gap that refers to social and environmental aspects not explored in the articles.
