مستخلص: The researchers conducted a qualitative case study on a learning community comprising special education and psychology majors. This community was strategically organized to foster interdisciplinary learning among its members and to design interventions for students struggling with mathematics anxiety, specifically in classes like Algebra 1. Working alongside a university faculty member and a graduate student, the undergraduates applied mental health principles from psychology research to real-world situations. Their efforts included teaching Algebra 1 to a student grappling with both a learning disability in mathematics and mathematics anxiety. In their approach, the group utilized mindfulness principles to tailor conversations to the high school student's interests, effectively incorporating mindfulness techniques into the mathematics tutoring sessions. This approach proved successful, particularly when the student was experiencing high levels of anxiety, enabling significant progress in his Algebra 1 work. The collaborative efforts also provided substantial benefits to the college students, who learned about each other's fields of study. They effectively combined this knowledge in practical ways and applied it in real-world settings. The findings of this study offer important insights for the training of pre-service special education teachers and college students in related fields.
