Teachers' Perceptions on What Inclusion NeedsA decade has passed since the equal right of all children to quality education regardless of their mental or physical abilities was declared by the Education Law (Izglītības likums, 1998). During that interlude, the Latvian educational system went through a period of tremendous change from total segregation of children with special needs in special schools to so-called "correction" classes in general schools, then to the special classes in general schools and finally to inclusion of special needs children in regular classrooms. Thus, the idea of inclusive education has been developed and implemented in various forms, which causes people to have a different understanding of what inclusive education means and impedes children with special needs from learning together with their peers in general classrooms. This article reflects on the findings of a qualitative study that was designed and conducted to investigate different perceptions of pre-school and primary school teachers on the preconditions for inclusive education.

Independence is the main character that needs to be grown in children with special needs, which can be formed through inclusive education in regular schools and special education in special schools. Japan is one of countries that employs inclusive education in all schools at all levels of education. The empowerment of children with special needs in Japan is comprehensively carried out through the formation of a Scrum team that involves medical teams (physician), government, schools (teachers), universities (lecturers), and parent. The Scrum team works together continuously to assist and provide recommendations at every level of education followed by the selection of appropriate employment opportunities for children with special needs. The independent character of children with special needs is the key for them to free themselves as a burden on their family and society. Government, family, and community supports are needed to shape the independence character of children with special needs. The inclusive education system in Japan is one of the ideal models that can be adapted in Indonesia with all of its challenges, both theoretical and practical.

In the Netherlands, treatment and management of children with special needs is characterized by the absence of financial barriers to care and the existence of a number of specialized services. For hearing-impaired children, there are special audiologic centers and special schools. Adolescents at risk of unintended pregnancy are protected through education and a dedicated system of family planning clinics. Children with multiple handicaps, such as those associated with myelomeningocele, face greater difficulties but still have an array of services available to them at little or no cost. Families are sheltered from excessive expense through social insurance.

Using the sample of 1726 special education students from the Collaborative Study of Children With Special Needs, the authors describe the related services being provided to the children and then analyze the relationship between service provision and class placement. Related services are provided in all settings, with a concentration in special schools and special classes. For even the most severely involved children the trade-off with academics is no more than 1 hour per day. It is argued that schools now are major sites of therapeutic service provision for children with special needs.

The findings of the researcher indicate several behavioral problems which indicate that there is no personal character or social character in children with special needs (especially for mentally retarded children). The results of the study show the importance of applying the values of character education to children with special needs for the realization of a better national character.

Previous research has identified the benefits of science learning to support post-school independence of children with special needs [9]. However, the portion and quality of teaching science to these students is still very limited. This study aimed to explore the barriers faced by teachers in teaching science to children with special needs in both special schools and inclusive school settings. A mixed methods approach was employed to understand the implementation of science learning for children with special needs, especially the support and obstacles faced by teachers and students with special needs. Data were collected through structured interviews and observations of science learning. Interviews and observations were conducted in 11 special classes and 9 inclusive classes when teaching science to reveal the didactic method used by the teacher and the student responses. Guided interviews were conducted with teachers (n = 20, 15 female and 5 male) to understand the teaching process and obstacles experienced. The results of the interviews and observations were validated through a focus group discussion, which was attended by 7 participants. The quality of textbooks with adjustments for students with special needs was found to be the major challenge for teachers as they explained that they have limited time to adjust the content themselves. It was also identified that there is a need for teachers to shift their mindset, as they focus on students’ learning problems as teaching barriers. This study calls for professional development for teachers, with a focus on mindset, teaching strategies and accommodation in science subjects, which would enable teachers to support students with special needs in special and inclusive classrooms.
