Parenting Role

Sibling relationships are complex and unique, often spanning a range of deep emotions. The experiences of children with disabilities and their siblings are arguably seldom documented, particularly in the Global South. The aim of this chapter was to uncover the narratives of young children with disabilities and their siblings in Sri Lanka. Ten dyads of children with disabilities and their siblings and one quartet of siblings were included in this study. Opportunities were offered to the participants to engage in conversation aided by kinetic family drawings. An interview guide was used to support this process. The participant data were analyzed through the lens of the “lived experience” of family dynamics in the tradition of interpretative phenomenological analysis. This chapter will discuss the two complex broad themes of a surrogate parenting role and normative sibling relationships, which at times converge and at times diverge.

Higher education institutions play a vital role in society in varied capacities, and one major contribution amongst it all is conducting research as a part of knowledge creation and dissemination. Social Science Research thereby provides valuable input for policy makers, decision makers and the public, in order to encourage the well-being of the society. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of conducting social science researches to address social issues and improve quality of life. However, the number of research conducted in this discipline in Sri Lanka is not adequate when compared to that of other countries in the region. Hence, this study aims to explore the present status and challenges that hinder the number of social science research conducted by academics in State Universities in Sri Lanka. The study conducted a detailed literature review that was followed by in-depth interviews with 50 academics representing five state universities in Sri Lanka. The universities were selected based on the availability of Social Sciences and Humanities Faculties/Departments. The data were then analysed qualitatively based on the Grounded Theory Method to achievestudy objectives. The study revealed three main categories that limit the number of social science researches conducted in State Universities in Sri Lanka. They are; organizational factors, individual factors, and policy related factors. In addition, collaboration with other universities/ faculties, publication opportunities, research awards, and research allowance were identified as aspects in support of social science research in Sri Lanka. The study findings significantly helps in policy making, to identify the present status as well as factors that can contribute to enhance the level of social science related research among academics of State Universities in Sri Lanka.KeywordsResearch Environment, Social Sciences Research, State Universities

Авторы раскрывают основные проблемы и этапы становления инклюзивного образования, в которых возможность приобретения знаний доступна всем и особенно детям с ограниченными возможностями здоровья (ОВЗ), в Кыргызстане. Понятие «инклюзивное образование» определено как обеспечение равного доступа к образованию для всех обучающихся с учетом разнообразия особых образовательных потребностей и индивидуальных возможностей. Дети с ОВЗ в обычной общеобразовательной школе могут не только получить качественное образование, но и успешно адаптироваться к жизни. Отражены принципы и факторы инклюзивного образования, которые включают в себя доступность школьного образования для всех детей. Для реализации инклюзивного образования нужно обратить внимание на создание соответствующих условий в обществе и образовательном процессе, подготовку педагогов, способных создавать и внедрять инклюзивную образовательную среду в образовательных организациях. The article reveals the main problems and stages of formation of inclusive education in which the opportunity to acquire knowledge is available to everyone, especially children with disabilities. The concept of «inclusive education» is defined as ensuring equal access to education for all students, taking into account the diversity of special educational needs and individual opportunities. Children with disabilities can not only get a high-quality education in a regular comprehensive school, but also successfully adapt to life. The principles and factors of inclusive education are reflected, with accessibility to school education for all children included. To implement inclusive education, attention should be paid to creating appropriate conditions both in society and educational process, as well as training teachers who are able to create and implement inclusive educational environment in educational organizations.
