AbstractThis research examines current systems being used to evaluate mildly I.H. adolescents in their last years of schooling. The suitability of the S.P.I.B. and the P.A.C-2 as evaluation devices in social and pre-vocational competence for students attending Victorian Special Schools was examined. Eighteen Special School S’s were administered the S.P.I.B. and evaluated on P.A.C-2. The sample showed to have similar competencies with the standardization samples of both the S.P.I.B. and the P.A.C-2. A positive correlation was found between Victorian S’s particular P.A.C-2 and S.P.I.B. ability areas. The P.A.C-2 has also shown that it has a realistic relationship between evaluation and further training.

The Impact

PurposeJapanese lesson study (LS) is a professional development (PD) approach in which teachers collaboratively plan a lesson, observe it being taught and then discuss what they have learned. LS's popularity as an approach to teacher PD in the UK is growing, and it is used in both special and mainstream settings. This study explores whether LS is perceived and operationalized in the same way across special and mainstream settings.Design/methodology/approachThis study arose as a result of collaboration between UCL Institute of Education academics (principle investigators) and three special school leaders using LS in their own schools (practitioner co-investigators), who together formed the research team. The team first explored the literature base for LS in special education. They then investigated special and mainstream schools using LS for teacher PD. Research tools included semi-structured interviews and an online survey. Participants were obtained through opportunistic sampling via the networks of schools available to the researchers.FindingsThere were several key differences between LS in special and mainstream settings. Special teachers felt LS had a more positive impact on subject knowledge than mainstream teachers, and this impact extended to support staff. Special teachers were more likely to carry out multiple research cycles than mainstream colleagues and to quickly build LS into the existing timetable. Mainstream teachers focused on individual pupils in LS to seek learning about pedagogy more generally, whereas general learning about pedagogy was seen as a secondary benefit to special teachers.Research limitations/implicationsOne of the limitations of the research is that participants are more positively inclined toward LS than the general population of their school, since those not interested in LS would be unlikely to take the time to engage with the research. It will be important to conduct more research into the use of LS in mainstream schools, as this study is one of very few exploring LS in this special context.Practical implicationsThe ease with which special schools can align LS to current practice due to greater flexibility of timetables and larger staff teams seems to result in a greater appreciation and “valuing” of the process in mainstream schools, where teachers seemed to feel their senior leadership teams had gone to extra lengths to enable LS to happen. LS seems to offer a framework within which senior leaders can prioritize such learning experiences for teachers, leading to positive benefits for pupils, teachers and the school, and is therefore a process worth considering both for special and mainstream school leaders.Originality/valueThe literature review found a limited number of studies of LS in a special educational needs and disability (SEND) context, all of which took place in the UK and focused on the impact of teacher participation in LS on teacher practice and pupil learning. All three studies show a positive impact and suggest that LS might have wider applications for both special schools and mainstream schools supporting SEND pupils. There has been no exploration of the different ways in which mainstream and special school teachers and pupils might experience or construct LS in their own contexts.

In the current pandemic period, some activities of the work program cannot be carried out properly, there are even some activities cannot be carried out. Special school institutions as a forum for education services for children with special needs, need to make changes and improve work programs. The institution work program needs to improve to achieve an institution's vision and mission. It is necessary to change the work program through a more focused program planning. This research aims to formulate a strategic plan contained in the work program of special schools. This study uses a qualitative method with SWOT analysis. This research essential the current condition of private special school X, namely by compiling strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. To obtain current condition information from the institution, involving school supervisors, principals, teachers, and school committees by teleconference. Before analysing the current condition data of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats conducted the validity and reliability test by using Smart-structural equation modelling. From the classification results, the institution's position quadrant will be identified to obtain the institution's strategic planning work program will be obtained from this quadrant. The research results state the institution's position was in the 3rd quadrant that means institutions must develop strategic planning institutions by minimizing weaknesses to reduce threats to the institution. Special school headmasters can arrange programs based on strategic planning with horizontal and vertical coordination to achieve their goals on time according to the work program plan. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0790/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Autism is a condition of children with developmental disorders. This condition encourages the establishment of special schools to accommodate children with autism. This special school must have specific standards and criteria so that children with autism can learn at school as well as in turn have adequate therapeutic facilities. This paper aims to describe the criteria of those special schools for children with autism, in particular the design criteria that can be applied to the interior of a building. The research was conducted with a qualitative approach using a literature survey method with a review of government regulations and design standards for spaces of children at special schools recommended for persons with autism. It is hoped that with an understanding of these design criteria, spaces for persons with autism in special schools can be designed more effective and efficient.

Within special education research, ICT has occupied a relatively small space, especially when it comes to implementation and pupils’ learning effects. Few studies emphasize how ICT can promote a learning environment for pupils with cognitive disadvantages. The studies conducted in Sweden are about children and young people with physical rather than cognitive disabilities. Against this background and with the view to find new ways of learning for special school pupils the present research started. The overall aim was to increase pupil participation and promote learning in special schools by means of tablets. The research project involved researchers, teachers and student assistants in research circles, a method that can in many respects be compared with action research. Three special schools, two middle schools and one high school participated in the research project in which teachers and pupils were given Tablets. The data were using four different methods: Interview, Observation, Questionnaire and Essays. The data were tested against Professor Englund’s theory of Educational Philosophies. The theory has been a valuable tool for measuring and discussing how the discourse of change has occurred. The results show improved skills and a clear declaration of intent of staff to work in a reconstructive direction. Key words: tablets, special schools, education, learning.
