Background And Aims: Students with intellectual disability benefit from high-quality instruction in reading and mathematics.

Methods: This Theoretical Paper outlines the need for effective, evidence-based instructional practices for this population and the potential for observation research to inform such advancements. We report our systematic process of adapting two widely used observation tools initially developed for students with learning disabilities, to address content and instructional practices relevant to classrooms serving elementary students with intellectual disability.

Results: Our revised observation tools facilitated more inclusive data collection, taking into account the needs and goals of students with intellectual disability, in addition to their peers for whom the original tool was designed.

Conclusions: We offer guidance for researchers and practitioners to make similar adaptations when using research tools intended for other populations or instructional settings.

Non-intellectual factors in mathematics are key psychological factors that influence students' cognitive activities and, consequently, their learning efficiency. While the assessment of these factors has gained increasing academic attention, research on the effective use of intelligent tools to assess and improve students' non-intellectual factors remains insufficient. This study employed intelligent technology to develop the Intelligent Assessment and Strategy Implementation System for Non-intellectual Factors in Mathematics Learning for Primary and Secondary School Students, which integrates an assessment index system, scales, regional norms, and personalized improvement strategies, enabling it to automatically generate bulk reports on students' non-intellectual factor scores across various dimensions and provide targeted improvement strategies.

Objective: To investigate the nutritional status, height development and intellectual development level of rural children aged 10-12 years in Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province, and to analyze the relationship between the nutritional status and height development of local schoolchildren and their intellectual development.

Methods: In 2019, a total of 1721 students were selected from 8 counties(cities) under the jurisdiction of Linxia Prefecture in Gansu Province, with 1 township selected from each county in 5 directions: east, west, south, north, and central. One primary school was randomly selected from each township, and 45 students aged 10-12 were selected from each primary school.
