Logging In to Press On: An Examination of High School Dropout and Completion Among Students With Disabilities in Online Courses

Abstract: Students with disabilities (SWDs) continue to experience rates of high school dropout greater than students not receiving special education services. Furthermore, there is a persistent gap in the rates of high school completion among students with and without disabilities. While criticized for lowering standards and learning, online learning represents a plausible mechanism to both decrease dropout and increase high school completion among SWDs. Drawing on theoretical frameworks advanced by Dynarski et al. and… Show more

“…None of the meta-analyses on the effectiveness of distance education include findings on students with special educational needs (SEN). Some recent evidence suggests that online courses may decrease the likelihood of drop-out among US high-school students with disabilities (Sublett and Chang, 2019). In a review of the literature on online instruction for special education at the primary and second level, Vasquez and Straub (2012) identify only six empirical studies that explore this question.…”

“…Some evidence also suggests that differences in instructional modalities may be less salient for adult learners than for youth (Bernard et al, 2004). Unlike adult education, primary and secondary school education tends to involve more hands-on, collaborative, and interactive learning activities (Kumi-Yeboah et al, 2018;Sublett, & Chang 2019), which are difficult to implement in remote learning contexts.…”

That being said, despite numerous obstacles, positive learning in the online environment is possible (Fitzgerald et al, 2012; Morgan et al, 2016; Straub & Vasquez, 2015; Sublett & Chang, 2019).…”
