Inclusiveeducation (IE) is commonly accepted internationally as a standard right for all children. Malaysia has similar aspiration to implement the concept in the school system. However, it appears IE is challenging for parents, teachers and students. One of the challenges is to produce a well-trained and competent teacher to recognize learning abilities and disabilities of individual students. The Malaysian government is committed to ensure children to receive equality in education. Malaysia Education Blueprint (MEB) spells out 75% of children with learning disabilities must be part of IE by 2025. There is a gap in IE studies in terms of investigating the relationship between emotions and learning ability among students in IE environment. Therefore, this concept paper proposes a standard profiling model by using the Computational Neuro-physiological (CNP) model to profile lower primary school students in IE. This paper also emphasizes the possible use of EEG technology in detecting the emotion, behavior and mental state that can be used to indicate the student’s learning ability in the inclusive education. This research is important to be carried out to have a student's profile which can be used to facilitate teachers to improve their competencies in teaching and handling the students

Classroom teaching tact is a kind of sensitive, rapid and accurate judgment and response ability of teachers in the face of complex classroom teaching situations. The implementation of the new curriculum reform requires teachers to have a higher level of teaching tact. Based on the self-designed questionnaire, this study investigated 200 primary school students in Hunan Normal University, explored the main influencing factors of their classroom teaching tact, and verified the rationality, reliability and validity of the questionnaire structure. It is found that the differences of gender and major have no influence on the level of classroom teaching tact of primary school students on post internship, while the differences of professional identity, personality, teaching class size, teaching reflection and post job training will bring the differences of classroom teaching tact level of primary school students on post internship. The primary school students who have high degree of professional identity, outgoing personality, small class size, good teaching reflection and more job-related classroom teaching and training have higher level of classroom teaching wit. But at the same time, we should also consider the interaction of various factors and do a holistic and dialectical thinking on the analysis of the factors that affect the level of classroom teaching tact of primary school students.


The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with school refusal behavior in primary school students. Student’s self-report and teacher’s measures were implemented; and students were recruited from 20 primary schools in six districts in Selangor, Malaysia. The survey was conducted at the end of school term in 2016, with a total of 915 students from Year 4 and Year 5 participating. The sample of students had been absent from school for more than 15% of school days in the current year. Pearson correlation shows a significant relationship between academic achievement and school satisfaction toward school refusal behavior. The findings of this study suggest that academic difficulties and dissatisfaction towards school environment could be the important risk factors for school refusal behavior. The present study underscores the importance of early detection and intervention as measures to reduce school refusal. Finally, the findings imply that the role of school factors should always be taken into account in connection with school refusal behaviour.
