Inclusive education has become a prominent international ideal and value in educational policies and practices. It is a seemingly simple concept about opportunities, equality, and solidarity that has wide global appeal. However, inclusion as applied to education connects with various social and political values that have been contested over many decades. One issue that underlies inclusion as a value is whether it represents a single coherent value or multiple values that can come into tension leading to dilemmas that need to be resolved. This issue is often overlooked in considerations about inclusive education but does affect various key issues about differentiation in the design of curricula and assessment, the location of provision, and how difference is identified and labeled and about participation in the social interaction between students who are different. This is an issue that needs to be addressed.

The objective of inclusive education is to increase the quality of social and psychological integration in society of students with disabilities in the learning process. This study aimed to identify the social and psychological effects of inclusive education of students with hearing disabilities at Sharjah University’s Disability Resource Centre. The study adopted a descriptive analytical approach with a purposive sample comprising 24 students with hearing impairment. An electronic questionnaire comprising 25 psychological and social statements and nine open-ended questions was administered to collect quantitative and qualitative data. The results revealed positive correlation coefficients between inclusive education and both psychological adjustment and social interaction and negative relationships between gender and age and both social interaction and psychological adaptation variables (for age ρ = 0.091 and ρ = 0.262 and for gender ρ = 0.47 and ρ = 0.076, respectively). A statistically significant difference of less than 0.05 was found in favour of those who agreed that inclusion affects psychological adaptation. A statistically significant difference of less than 0.05 was found in favour of students who agreed that inclusion affects social interaction. The research results can be used in the practice of inclusive education to determine ways to improve the social and psychological adaptation of students with hearing impairments.

The article is devoted to the study of Russian traditional basic values. On the basis of the traditionalist-conservative approach, the authors investigate the origin and substantial evolution of the concept of “fatherland” in the public consciousness of the Russian people. The study of a large number of various sources on Russian intellectual history allows to conclude that the concept of “fatherland” began to appear in chronicles, literary and spiritual-political monuments relatively early – already from the 10th century, but then it had the meaning of “hereditary property”, “ancestral possession”. Meanwhile, already in the 12th–17th centuries, the use of the concept «fatherland» in the meaning of “homeland”, “native land” were found sometimes, and since the 18th century the notion “Fatherland” was finally entrenched with the value content of patriotic love and service for the benefit of one's native country. In the 19th century in Russia, the notion of “love for the Fatherland” received a variety of interpretations, enriched with new meanings and contexts, but retained its significance as one of the most important social values and civic virtues. The authors of the article conclude that despite the cardinal transformations of the social, economic and political structure of Russia in the beginning of the 20th century, the concept of “Fatherland” as a value has retained its basic significance for Russian civilization, since it is a fundamental spiritual and political ideal and is directly related to the formation of political identity.

Analisa a educação nas diversas constituições brasileiras, detendo-se sobre elementos do contexto onde estas são concebidas. Apresenta considerações sobre o conjunto dos textos, buscando elucidar aspectos comuns e diferenças marcantes. Evidencia que a presença da educação nas constituições relaciona-se com o seu grau de importância ao longo da história. Enquanto nas primeiras constituições (1824 e 1891) as referências são escassas, a presença de artigos relacionados com o tema cresce significativamente nos textos posteriores (1934, 1937, 1946, 1967 e 1988). As constituições expressam desejos de reforma da sociedade, apontando possibilidades sem assegurar garantias. Ao mesmo tempo, reforçam privilégios de grupos que fazem valer seus interesses junto ao Legislativo. O aprofundamento do tema permite apreciar o contraditório movimento da educação enquanto um valor que passa a incorporar-se aos anseios sociais sem, contudo, oferecer a cidadania plena. Do mesmo modo, permite melhor situar as reformas de educação propostas ao longo da história. Palavras-chave: constituições brasileiras; política educacional; reforma educacional; história da educação. Abstract The work analyses the education in the diverse Brazilian constitutions, focusing on elements of the context in which they are conceived. Considerations on the set of the texts are presented, elucidating common aspects and remarkable differences. The analysis evidences that the presence of the education in the constitutions becomes related with its degree of importance throughout history. While in the first constitutions (1824 and 1891) the references are scarce, the articles related with the subject grow significantly in posterior texts (1934, 1937, 1946, 1967 and 1988). The constitutions express a desire to reform the society, pointing out possibilities without assuring guarantees. At the same time, they strengthen privileges of groups that validate their interests together with the Legislative Power. The deepening of the subject allows to appreciate the contradictory movement of the education while a value that becomes incorporated to the social yearnings without, however, offering full citizenship. In a similar way, it better allows to point out the education reforms proposals throughout history. Keywords: brazilian constitutions, educational policies, educational reform, history of education.

In the province of Manitoba, Canada, there is a gap between the rhetoric of inclusive education and its practical implementation. In the absence of inclusive educational policies and guidelines, deficit-based approaches such as categorical labels for students who are deemed to have a severe emotional and behavioural disorder, segregated classrooms, and self-contained programs are prevalent and change is needed. This paper provides a critical perspective on how the paradigm of special education contributes to the social construction of disability; how, for Indigenous students, it too often positions behavioural difference as disability; and further, why this practice is systemically discriminatory. In our examination, we seek to expose the exclusion (Slee & Allen, 2001) that exists in nominally inclusive schools as a way to promote social change and redirect education toward truly inclusive practices. To that end, we suggest the following strategies that may reduce educational inequity for Indigenous students: (a) developing clearly articulated inclusive educational policies along with indicators of inclusivity; (b) reporting the number of Indigenous students who are identified as emotionally and behaviourally disordered, and segregated in self-contained settings; (c) establishing needs-based models of support at all levels (e.g., province, division, and school); (d) creating new narratives of assessment and pedagogy; and (e) reconceptualizing teachers’ training. We hope that by critically examining the structures and processes of special education that, in fact, disable Indigenous students from educational success, inclusion might encompass more than a provincial philosophy and include transformative educational change.

The study aimed to assess the changes in the level of tolerance of healthy students to the students with HIA, we discuss the change of the social distance between patients with HIA and healthy students in secondary vocational schools that have implemented programs of inclusive education. The primary survey was attended by 222 people: 66 people with the HIA and 156 people without the developmental disease, the follow-up study - by 222 people: 66 people with the HIA and 156 people without the disease. The basis of the study was the measurement of social distance using questionnaires developed by S.B. Fedorov, under the supervision by L.M. Shipitsina at the Institute of Special Pedagogy and Psychology (2000). We revealed the specific features of the formation of tolerance among students without pathology to the persons with HIA. We show different students' attitudes toward people with different developmental pathologies and multidirectional dynamics in relation to social interactions in various forms in healthy students and students with the HIA. The joint training of healthy students and those with HIA revealed a trend towards more conscious understanding of the characteristics of social interaction with persons with HIA in healthy students.

The island marble butterfly (Euchloe ausonides insulanus), thought to be extinct throughout the 20th century until re-discovered on a single remote island in Puget Sound in 1998, has become the focus of a concerted protection effort to prevent its extinction. However, efforts to “restore” island marble habitat conflict with efforts to “restore” the prairie ecosystem where it lives, because of the butterfly’s use of a non-native “weedy” host plant. Through a case study of the island marble project, we examine the practice of ecological restoration as the enactment of particular norms that define which species are understood to belong in the place being restored. We contextualize this case study within ongoing debates over the value of “native” species, indicative of deep-seated uncertainties and anxieties about the role of human intervention to alter or manage landscapes and ecosystems, in the time commonly described as the “Anthropocene.” We interpret the question of “what plants and animals belong in a particular place?” as not a question of scientific truth, but a value-laden construct of environmental management in practice, and we argue for deeper reflexivity on the part of environmental scientists and managers about the social values that inform ecological restoration.

This paper explores the charitable work of Buddhist women who work as petty traders in Hồ Chí Minh City. By focusing on the social interaction between givers and recipients, it examines the traders’ class identity, their perception of social stratification, and their relationship with the state. Charitable work reveals the petty traders’ negotiations with the state and with other social groups to define their moral and social status in Vietnam’s society. These negotiations contribute to their self-identification as a moral social class and to their perception of trade as ethical labor.
