Depth Interviews

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception of visually impaired students, their peers without disabilities, and teachers about inclusive education, focusing on a second cycle educational institution in the Eastern region of Ghana implementing inclusive education for the visually impaired. In this study, we collected data from 23 visually impaired students, 27 students without disabilities, and 19 teachers in the inclusive school. Data were collected through semistructured in-depth interviews. This study followed a phenomenological approach, reporting findings from participants’ own words. The study findings revealed that visually impaired students and some teachers supported inclusion while a number of students without disabilities disliked the practice. Some teachers indicated that the idea of inclusive education is a good way to ensure equal educational opportunities. The study concludes that Ghanaian teachers in inclusive schools should be equipped with training to teach students with disabilities.

Educational Inclusion

Implementation and educational inclusion in school is a relevant topic for pedagogical and social context because it implies the acceptance and appreciation of differences among children as incentives, rather than obstacles in the process of teaching and learning. On the UNESCO World Conference concerning Special Educational Needs held in 1994, Statement and Framework for Action were adopted, which promote the right of every child to be involved in the educational system, and in regular schools, regardless of their physical, intellectual, emotional, social, linguistic or other conditions. The term special educational need in this context does not exclusively refer to children with disabilities. The concept of inclusive education with the meaning of inclusion of all children in compulsory education extends and deepens the educational model of integration of children with disabilities in regular education. The introduction and implementation of inclusion in schools becomes the requirement of contemporary educational policies of Europe and the world, whereby the changing of schools in order to achieve educational inclusion is conditional on changing the entire educational practice (Mittler, 2006). This paper will show some of the assumptions that are crucial for the implementation of inclusion in schools with special emphasis on the role of activities of teachers as key participants in the process of inclusive school.

We examine the process of developing web-based case studies, a novel form of professional learning for principals, specifically related to inclusive school leadership. Based on the input from 39 principals, 5 case studies were developed with branching scenarios that provided multiple options for decision-making. These “choose your own adventure” case studies were used in a special education for school administrators course with 109 participants in Ontario, Canada. We consider the authenticity of the cases, the importance of incorporating multiple perspectives, and issues related to function, form, and choice. We incorporate five lessons for developing web-based case studies.

On the basis of the seminal paper presented at the International Conference on Taiwanese-Vietnamese Education in 2013, the authors further present how neoliberal globalization directs higher education. The purpose of the authors in this chapter is to critically analyze the complex interplay between neoliberal globalization and the employment prospects of graduates from universities and colleges. Revisiting the concept of relative advantage for division of labor, they delineated the neoliberal theory of globalization. Within this framework, they employed the Heckscher-Ohlin model and Stolper-Samuelson theorem to argue that if countries follow the relative advantage doctrine, the value of higher education will decrease in a developing country such as Vietnam. Neoliberal globalization therefore presents significant implications to the accumulation of human capital. If taking these implications seriously, individuals, higher education institutions, and policymakers can figure out better schemes to invest in higher education.

The chapter highlights the importance of a school readiness program for children with disabilities (preferably mild category of developmental disabilities) in achieving successful inclusive education. A practical model of school readiness program for children with mild intellectual disability which is practiced at Government Rehabilitation Institute for Intellectual Disabilities (GRIID), Chandigarh, India has been highlighted in this chapter. The school readiness program for children with mild developmental disabilities is offered at primary lower (age 5-7 years) and primary upper (age 7-9 years) levels. Several age-appropriate functional and social skills are being taught to young children admitted under the school readiness program of GRIID. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the school readiness program that can be replicated at different places to achieve a successful and meaningful transition from a special school to an inclusive school.

This paper reports on processes employed at a secondary state high school in Australia, where students directed inclusive school development. The procedures used in the study were developed from the Index for Inclusion and included a student forum; a student presentation to parents, principal and teachers and a focus group interview with members of the school community. These procedures were designed to empower students to participate in school review and planning and evaluate the procedures developed from the Index for Inclusion. Samples of interview data from the school principal, staff, parents and the students illustrate a growing understanding of what inclusive education means for members of this school community. The research extends understandings of inclusive education in schools, from a focus on students with disabilities to a much broader philosophy that influences school culture, policy and practice for the diversity of students at the school. Discussion about feeling part of a ‘family’ in the school community and the description of the procedures linked to actions for change, provide evidence of a developing inclusive school culture that will inform educators interested in inclusive school development.

The rationale behind this study is how students with disabilities’ perception towards the inclusive education and inclusive teaching practices. As a qualitative single case study, two participants (student with hearing loss and visual impairment) were involved to give their depth explanation about inclusive practices in one secondary inclusive school in Yogyakarta. These participants were recruited by purposive technique sampling. Data were gathered by open-ended interview, documents’ analysis, and direct observation for building and learning media. Data then were analyzed using content-analysis technique. The results show students with disabilities have a positive perception towards the inclusive practices in their school. They claimed, this practice would be valuable if: the school provides learning materials in different modalities and teachers offers multiple ways in teaching. Furthermore, system support and shaping the inclusive culture is necessary to realize the inclusive education and teaching practices.[Penelitian ini mencoba untuk mengungkap persepsi siswa difabel mengenai praktik pendidikan dan pembelajaran inklusif di salah satu SMA Inklusi di Yogyakarta. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan mengambil satu studi kasus yang melibatkan dua orang siswa difabel (Tuli dan tuna netra) sebagai responden melalui teknik purposive sampling. Data diungkap dengan wawancara semi terbuka, analisis dokumen dan observasi terhadap bangunan fisik dan media pembelajaran. Data kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik content-analysis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan siswa memiliki persepsi yang cukup baik terhadap pelaksanaan pendidikan dan pembelajaran inklusif. Menurut siswa, praktik pembelajaran inklusif akan lebih bermakna jika aksesibilitas terhadap materi-materi pelajaran semakin dipermudah dengan menyediakan berbagai macam sumber belajar yang bervariasi, termasuk cara guru dalam menyampaikan pelajaran perlu menggunakan berbagai metode. Selain itu, dukungan sistem dan penciptaan budaya inklusif juga harus selalu dipupuk agar warga sekolah mampu mewujudkan praktik pendidikan dan pembelajaran inklusif yang seharusnya.]

Abstract.ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR AN INCLUSIVE SCHOOLInclusive education is a hanging task within the Spanish Educational System, and nowadays it presents a stalemate. On this initial hypothesis let’s sense beforehand a theoretical and descriptive research work, based on bibliographical study of previous research on the subject, in order to know how the principle of diversity care is developed in Spanish Compulsory Education System schools, and therefore inclusive education, and what this pointed stagnation can occur. The study parts of a shared conceptualization of inclusiveness, and aims to collect information, analyze and reflect on it, and make innovative and assumable proposals on the basis of the obtained results for the development and evolution of the subject. The purpose of our research will be the inclusive school. We document the evolutionary process in the development of Spanish inclusive education, until the stalemate that is currently observed, analyzing some research on the subject made in the last decade. We start from a general survey of the situation of the Spanish educational system regarding the issue of the inclusiveness, analyze contributions of some contrasted authorship, and reflect on the achievements and work to be done. This task allows us, while validating the initial hypothesis of the study, substantiate somewhat firmly the relevance of contributing strategies that collaborate in the positive development of an inclusive school project. To design these proposals, we depart from a few prerequisites, primarily within the realm of belief and unwavering principles, and subsequently we develop a catalogue of basic sequenced strategies, which like mandatory decalogue, are essential in order to define our institutions as an inclusive school.Keywords: diversity care, inclusive education, inclusive school, educational centers, organizational strategies.Resumen.La educación inclusiva es una tarea pendiente dentro del Sistema Educativo Español, y en estos momentos presenta un estancamiento. Sobre esta hipótesis inicial presentamos un trabajo de investigación teórico y descriptivo, en base a un estudio bibliográfico de investigaciones previas sobre el tema, con el fin de conocer cómo se desarrolla en los centros educativos de Educación Obligatoria del Sistema Educativo Español el principio de atención a la diversidad, y por tanto la educación inclusiva, y a que se puede deber este estancamiento apuntado. El estudio parte de una conceptualización compartida de inclusividad, y tiene como objetivos recabar información, analizar y reflexionar sobre ella, y elaborar propuestas de mejora, innovadoras y asumibles, sobre la base de los resultados obtenidos, para el desarrollo y evolución del tema. El objeto de nuestra investigación será la escuela inclusiva. Documentamos el proceso evolutivo en el desarrollo de la educación inclusiva en España, hasta llegar al estancamiento que se observa actualmente, analizando algunas investigaciones sobre el tema realizadas en la última década. Partimos de un estudio general de la situación del Sistema Educativo Español con relación al tema de la inclusividad, analizamos las aportaciones de algunas autorías contrastadas, y reflexionamos sobre los logros alcanzados y trabajo que queda por hacer. Esta tarea nos permite, a la vez que validar la hipótesis inicial del estudio, fundamentar con cierta solidez la pertinencia de aportar estrategias que colaboren en la evolución positiva de un proyecto de escuela inclusiva. Para diseñar estas propuestas, partimos de unos prerrequisitos, fundamentalmente dentro del terreno de las creencias, y unos principios irrenunciables, y posteriormente elaboramos un catálogo de estrategias básicas, secuenciadas, que a modo de decálogo de obligado cumplimiento, son imprescindibles para poder definir nuestras instituciones educativas como una escuela inclusiva.Palabras clave: atención a la diversidad, educación inclusiva, escuela inclusiva centros educativos, estrategias organizativas.
