Although research with children as participants has increased, there is a continued gap in their participation in inclusive research. This review was conducted to identify factors contributing to the success of educatuional inclusion from the young child's perspective. The data was obtained by gathering qualitative research with children as participants, educational policies resource documents and guides to effective instruction. Major findings indicated that examination of the physical, emotional , social, cultural, and ideological elements within the environment are necessary to enhance the success of inclusion. The importance of including children in the assessment and evaluation of inclusive practices and heightening the voice of children in educational research is discussed.

The work aims to provoke critical educational reflections on the current state of the scientific-pedagogical conception of inclusive education in the university context. In this sense, we are aware of the existence of an extremely positive conceptual evolution in recent times. It is necessary to articulate new discourses and teaching practices that project and illuminate the idea that inclusive education as a permanent process of change in education and for which the development of psychological activities outlined in resilience can play an important role. The Ecuadorian higher education system has experienced, for a few years, changes of great pedagogical interest. In this framework, a whole process of generating educational policies and inclusive education is shown, taking as a framework the professors and managers of the Technical University of Manabí (UTM) (Ecuador), to contribute to the greater inclusive development of the said university. The main challenges for university institutions regarding fostering the resilience of the academic process are presented.

Teachers play an important role in the success of inclusive practices for diverse learners in regular classrooms. It is, therefore, important to examine their beliefs and preparation to teach in inclusive classrooms. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the attitude of active Chilean teachers (n = 569) towards inclusion, their self-efficacy regarding inclusive practices, and their intention to teach in inclusive classrooms. Our secondary objectives were to explore the relationship between their attitudes and self-efficacy and to determine the influence of demographic and professional variables on these two constructs. A positive and significant relationship between teachers’ attitude and self-efficacy was found. Teacher qualification was not significantly related to attitudes towards inclusion but was negatively associated with their self-efficacy beliefs concerning inclusive practices. Secondary education teachers reported lower teaching efficacy beliefs for inclusion than pre-school, primary, and special education teachers. The type of school emerged as a significant predictor of teachers’ attitude and self-efficacy beliefs. The implications of this research and need for additional teacher and in-service training to improve educators’ attitudes and self-efficacy are discussed.

On validation of practice-based qualitative research Erica Baarends & Frits Simon An analysis of the most used literature on (practice-based) qualitative research in the Netherlands shows that the described criteria for validity are mainly derived from a quantitative perspective. As a consequence, the voice of the researcher dominates in the research instead of the voice of the research respondents. It is argued that in the age of Facebook and considering the current legitimization crisis of science, practice-based qualitative researchers need validation criteria that respect the polyvocality of the respondents.

Despite empirical research pointing toward the positive impact of an inclusive instructional approach and practices on all students’ learning and social participation, educators and schools lag in adopting these approaches and strategies. For the purpose of knowledge mobilization, it is important to examine the factors that influence this research-to-practice gap. With this aim, we first outline the significant role of teachers and teacher education in implementing inclusive practices. We then synthesize findings from previous literature identifying both individual and contextual, system-level influences that impede the implementation of evidence-based inclusive practices by teachers. We emphasize the prominent role of school leaders in removing some of these barriers by supporting teachers and collaborating with key stakeholders. Further research is needed to explore the complex, interrelated factors that foster collaboration among school leaders, teachers, and teacher education programs in order to advance the development of truly inclusive education systems.

This study aims to evaluate the inclusive education program at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) Badrussalam Surabaya. The education program aims to improve human resource competencies in increasing abilities. The evaluation model used in this study is the CIPP model (context, input, process, and product) of the qualitative research approach model introduced by Stufflebeam. The results showed that the education program at MI Badrussalam Surabaya had run well in accordance with the education program that had been prepared. However, in the implementation of inclusive education in MI Badrussalam, there are still some deficiencies both in the fields of funding, facilities and infrastructure as well as on the Welfare of mentors and special teachers (GP / K).

The article examines the signs of systemic innovation on the example of the introduction of inclusive practices in modern conditions of Russian education modernization. The purpose of this article is based on the study of scientific-theoretical sources and the analysis and synthesis of innovative practices to substantiate the traits of a systemic innovation in inclusive education.

Economics and pedagogy are determined on the basis of consideration of the conceptual apparatus from the standpoint of philosophy, as well as the essential and specific characteristics of innovation. The study of the evolution of innovation and the diversity of their types and types make it possible to present the classification system of innovation influence, the strength and scale of impact on the entire education system. There were outlined the allocated spot (local), linear (horizontal plane); structure (spherical, spatial, architectural); the fundamental (base); radical (actually the system); multidimensional (versatile, global) and nadcisnienie some innovation. By deduction the thesis that the introduction of inclusive education in mainstream educational space requires a system of development tailored to the specific socio-cultural conditions and educational policy is substantiated. In the text highlights of the most important directions of innovative activity of educational institutions (the creation of an inclusive culture, develop inclusive policies and the implementation of inclusive practices) is given. In conclusion it is emphasized that solving problems in the field of inclusion makes a significant transformation in all elements of the education system and the determined image optimize, improve and stimulate the educational environment at the regional and sectoral level, as befits a true system innovation.
