Abstract

Abstract
The aim of the current research was to study the nature, characteristics and evidence based effectiveness of schema-based instruction toward specific learning disability. In the same vein a systematic review study method with use of schema-based instruction key words includes: Schema- Based Instruction, and specific learning disability with impairment in mathematics from web the Data, between 1996- 2017 was conducted in accordance with research objectives to executed current study.
Among 36 studies carry out, the majority of researches (25 studies) were performed on subjects with a math disorder from 5 to 12 years of age and at grade 1-6. Experimental design studies (with 25 frequency) are the most frequent among different types of studies. in the same vein the inclusive education classroom (with 15 frequency), Exceptional or rehabilitation of learning disabilities centers (with 9 frequency), special class (with 8 frequency) and practice center (with 4 frequency) are the most used training placements, respectively. In procedure of Implementing of schema-based instruction (in regular and individualized classes) is the most commonly used (with 26 frequency). The effectiveness of schema- based word problem solving instruction on the depend variables of math fluency (accuracy and fluent in math problem solving), acquisition and generalization are measured respectively, in 36, 16 and 11 studies. The result studies indicate that the schema- based instruction effectiveness on the dependent variables have been approved.
