The Individual

The aim of this presentation is to analyse the current international policies on inclusion and to discuss the value and use of differentiated instruction as a means to the inclusion of students with special needs/ disabilities in mainstream settings. The movement to inclusion requires teachers to create inclusive learning environments, which would encourage the use of practices that would benefit all students. In this respect, differentiated instruction has rapidly evolved as a teaching approach to meet the diverse and heterogeneous needs of students with special needs/ disabilities in mainstream classrooms. Modifying and adjusting instruction to allow all students in a classroom to access the general education curriculum is at the heart of inclusive education. In this presentation, I shall discuss the development of differentiated instruction as a means to inclusion for students with special needs/ disabilities in mainstream classrooms. Information will be provided with regard to the main principles of DI as well as the basic criteria in designing individualized adaptations for these students. In addition to this, I will review the factors which influence the development of differentiated instruction based on research findings. Finally, I will argue that differentiated instruction provides a learning environment which takes into consideration the individual characteristics of students and, as such, is a useful approach for the inclusion of students with special needs/ disabilities in mainstream settings.

Serbia and Norway, and they are compared with each other. The research was conducted in fifteen regular elementary schools located on the territory of the Republic of Serbia on a sample of 220 teachers and 22 professional associates, as well as with 10 teachers and 6 professional associates from two primary schools in Oslo, Norway. The research used descriptive, analytical and comparative methods, and survey as the research technique. Based on the obtained research results, it is concluded that there is a generally positive attitude of teachers and professional associates in the Republic of Serbia towards inclusive education of children with special needs. Such results provide a guarantee for further perspective and implementation of inclusive education in the Republic of. Serbia. The conducted research did not show statistically significant differences in the attitudes of male and female respondents regarding the inclusive education of children with special needs. However, the attitudes of teachers and professional associates in the Republic of Serbia towards the inclusive education of children with special needs differ statistically and teachers generally have more positive attitude towards all categories of students.
