The aim of this study was to analyze the difficulties encountered by support agents in special education with students with disabilities. The methodology was qualitative and exploratory. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview and analyzed through thematic content analysis. The participants of the research were 12 support agents in special education in elementary education who carry out their activities with students with physical disabilities in a municipal school network. In relation to the difficulties encountered by special education support agents, the following categories emerged: Training of human resources; Material and technological resources; Infrastructure and Accessibility; Teamwork and Inclusion only in theory. It was concluded that there is a shortage of resources in this scenario, and may influence the quality of education offered to students with disabilities.

We investigated the perceptions of students with disabilities (SWD) and their parents about the education offered in private special education institutions in Turkey, called “Special Education and Rehabilitation Centers” (SERCs). Data were collected from a survey administered to 453 SWD and 479 parents and interviews that were conducted with 38 parents. Survey findings indicated both satisfaction and, largely, dissatisfaction with the quality of special education offered in SERCs. Findings indicated that (i) parents were satisfied with the opportunities provided for their children to receive free special education and (ii) there was discontent about the use of government-funded resources, the quality of teaching, environmental arrangements, attitudes and beliefs toward SWD, inspection and supervision, and the way policy was designed and implemented. Findings demonstrate the need to reconsider the quality of education offered in private special education centers and the ways to improve the quality level.

In recent decades, China has experienced rapid economic development, and the education system has significantly improved, especially in special education. However, there are still some issues directly influencing access and quality of special education in remote and rural areas of China, although the Chinese Government has enacted some policies to promote equity and quality of education for students with disabilities. This highlights the need for additional efforts by all levels of government authorities. This column presents a summary of current issues related to the educational provision for students with disabilities in remote or rural areas of China and brief descriptions of main policies in rural education and special education. Suggestions for how to improve the development of special education in rural areas are also provided.

Methods Of Measurement

The quality of education is increasingly being measured less by the knowledge gained during schooling and more by the level of competence possessed by students at doing a particular job after completing their education. Target and process-planned curricula are being replaced more and more by competence-oriented curricula, especially in science and technology education, where competences, generally defined as the capability or the ability of an individual doing a job properly, are placed at the forefront. If competence is the desired criterion for educational quality, it can be easily established that suitable instruments and methods of measurement are needed for this kind of quality evaluation, which, however, are not yet available. Suitable instrumentation was developed in this study. Its use was demonstrated in the example of elementary education in Slovenia. Key words: generic competences, students’ skills, methods of teaching, triangulation.

<p>O fenômeno denominado Juvenilização da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) é analisado no presente artigo como consequência da expulsão de jovens em defasagem idade-série da escola regular. O pressuposto é que o fenômeno tem se intensificado na medida em que a correção de fluxo tem funcionado como mecanismo de escape, utilizado por gestores com o objetivo de evitar as sanções previstas nas políticas de responsabilização às escolas e aos professores que não alcançam as metas de desempenho estabelecidas pelas diferentes esferas do sistema. São utilizados dados estatísticos sobre o histórico de matrículas na EJA na rede municipal de ensino da cidade do Rio de Janeiro para sustentar que as políticas de avaliação em larga escala, anunciadas como garantidoras da qualidade da educação, têm favorecido a manutenção de processos de exclusão escolar. Aportes pós-estruturalistas, em especial a Teoria do Discurso, sustentam a problematização de uma concepção instrumental de qualidade.</p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Juvenilización de EJA como efecto colateral de las políticas de responsabilización</em></strong></p><p><em>Se analiza el fenómeno denominado juvenilización de la Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) en el presente artículo en función de la expulsión de jóvenes en desfase edad-año de la escuela regular.

This descriptive study was carried out in six different districts of KP province of Pakistan and they were Mansehra, Malakand, Kohat, Dera Ismail Khan, Charsadda, and Bannu. There was the common objection that the quality of education has declined at various stages of education. This study focused on the analysis of the main causes of deterioration of quality at the Secondary School Level in the province of KP, Pakistan. These major causes of deterioration of excellence in education were revealed by a review of the study. Some key factors, considered to be the foundation of quality education, were highlighted. The methodology of the study was properly described. The researcher himself visited the sampled institutions and administered the questionnaire to the respondents to collect the data. Out of six different districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 440 Principals of Government Boys' Secondary Schools were selected as the population of this study. The sample contained 132 principals (30%). The tool of the study included a structured interview containing six open-ended items. Both qualitative and quantitative treatment was given to the analysis of data and presented in graphical and tabular forms. The study uncovered major causes of deterioration about quality at the secondary level, which is an ineffective system of monitoring and accountability, flawed examination system, insufficient infrastructural facilities, congested classrooms, lack of competent and trained teaching faculty, un-warranted political involvement, outdated teaching methods, and inadequate latest teaching facilities. The study also suggested various teaching strategies, which are suitable for various types of learners and could be applied in classrooms.

<p>Most students diagnosed with disabilities in Thai special education schools received assistive technologies, but this did not guarantee the greatest benefits. The purpose of this study was to survey the provision, use and needs of assistive technologies, as well as the perspectives of key informants regarding a model of providing them in special education schools. The participants were selected by the purposive sampling method, and they comprised 120 students with visual, physical, hearing or intellectual disabilities from four special education schools in Chiang Mai, Thailand; and 24 key informants such as parents or caregivers, teachers, school principals and school therapists. The instruments consisted of an assistive technology checklist and a semi-structured interview. Results showed that a category of assistive technologies was provided for students with disabilities, with the highest being “services”, followed by “media” and then “facilities”. Furthermore, mostly students with physical disabilities were provided with assistive technologies, but those with visual disabilities needed it more. Finally, the model of providing assistive technologies was composed of 5 components: Collaboration; Holistic perspective; Independent management of schools; Learning systems and a production manual for users; and Development of an assistive technology center, driven by 3 major sources such as Government and Private organizations, and Schools.</p>

Trata-se de um estudo de metodologia investigativa qualitativa que utilizou a entrevista semiestruturada como instrumento de coleta e produção de dados. A pesquisa empírica contemplou entrevistas com os cinco diretores das escolas públicas municipais dos anos finais do ensino fundamental da cidade de Armação dos Búzios-RJ. Os dados obtidos pela análise de conteúdo foram organizados em três categorias, sendo a categoria “Descaso Público” elucidativa e didática. Infere-se que o ambiente de aprendizagem existente (as quadras polidesportivas em praças públicas) e a infraestrutura escolar disponibilizada para as aulas de Educação Física inviabilizam o cumprimento do currículo em sua integralidade, afetam os conteúdos de ensino e, por conseguinte, os objetivos educacionais não são atingidos.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chave</strong>: Infraestrutura Escolar, Educação Física, Ensino Fundamental, Políticas Públicas.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Infraestructura escolar y Educación Física: tensiones y conflictos</strong></p><p>Se preconiza, en este artículo, estudiar la influencia que tienen las infraestructuras deportivas de las escuelas en el cumplimiento de la asignatura de Educación Física, en la calidad del proceso de enseñanza y en el aprendizaje realizado por los estudiantes.

The empirical research included interviews with the five directors of municipal public schools in the final years of elementary education in the city of Armação dos Búzios-RJ. The content analysis brought us to three categories, being the category “Public Neglect”, elucidative and didactic.

This study examines the implementation of inclusive elementary education in Pati district. Data collection was carried out through interviews and observations of eight students with disabilities who attended inclusive elementary schools in Pati Regency, 6 teachers, and 3 school principals. Data analysis was performed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of inclusive basic education in Pati Regency is not under idealized conditions because in its implementation the school still limits students with disabilities who are accepted. Schools only accept those who have non-physical disabilities (intellectual disability, slow learning, and sensory disabilities). School considerations are: 1) easy in learning services; 2) worry if parents of non-disabled students refuse and move their children to another school; 3) there are obstacles in learning services because they do not have special support teachers and the lack of inclusive learning facilities and infrastructure.[Makalah ini meneliti pelaksanaan pendidikan dasar inklusif di kabupaten Pati. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara dan observasi terhadap delapan siswa difabel yang bersekolah di SD inklusif di Kabupaten Pati, 6 guru, dan 3 kepala sekolah. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan pendidikan dasar inklusif di Kabupaten Pati belum sesuai dengan kondisi yang diidealkan karena dalam pelaksanaannya sekolah masih membatasi siswa difabel yang diterima. Sekolah hanya menerima mereka yang mengalami disabilitas non-fisik saja (disabilitas intelektual, lambat belajar, dan disabilitas sensorik). Pertimbangan sekolah adalah: 1) mudah dalam layanan pembelajaran; 2) merasa khawatir jika orang tua siswa non-difabel menolak dan memindahkan anaknya ke sekolah lain; 3) adanya kendala dalam layanan pembelajaran karena tidak memiliki guru pembimbing khusus, dan kurangnya sarana dan prasarana pembelajaran inklusif.]
