摘要:The thematic section in this issue of Education Inquiry deals with articles concerning the science and practice of special education. It includes research on the mathematical achievement and emotional-cognitive profiles of young people, the role of schools as organisations in the provision of special education, issues regarding inclusion and intellectual impairment, future work content of special educators, and topics related to adult dyslexia. One special feature of this issue of the journal is that there are contributions by Swedish and Finnish authors, thereby allowing the possibility to compare special education in these countries.(Published: 3 March 2015)Citation: Education Inquiry (EDUI) 2015, 6, 27267, http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/edui.v6.27267
