Critical Reflections

“Pedagogy of discomfort” was first introduced by Boler in 1999 as a teaching practice that invites educators and students to engage in critical inquiry regarding values and norms, and to examine constructed self-images and perceptions of others (1999, p. 177). The concept has later been further developed by Boler and Zembylas (2003) as a pedagogical framework to engage students and teachers with issues of difference, race and social justice by challenging their emotional comfort zones. This pedagogical approach is grounded in the assumption that discomforting emotions are important in challenging dominant beliefs, social habits and normative practices that sustain stereotypes and social injustice and in creating openings for empathy and transformation. (Zembylas & Papamichael, 2017, p. 3). This article explores how pedagogy of discomfort may contribute to critical reflections and inclusive education, by asking what educators may gain from dwelling with discomfort rather than trying to escape it. I argue that discomfort may function as an approach to critical reflections and new knowledge, and a resource for transformation, not as something to fear and avoid. However, the ideas of pedagogy of discomfort have raised concerns for what might happen when students are challenged and become uncomfortable in educational settings. One might argue that the concept of “classroom safety” could imply that educators first and foremost should offer comfort in classrooms. My main interest in this article is what educators may gain from engaging with discomfort as a resource for critical reflections and inclusive education.

This chapter shares an example of using a critical multicultural lens in teaching and learning to engage diversity and social justice in intercultural experiences. The author draws on the classroom experiences of the author and highlights instructor-learner perspectives. Emphasized is the use of the knowledge building classroom engaging pedagogy of discomfort, courageous dialogues, and critical reflections in a reiterative process to engage students in “critical knowing thyself” and “respectfully knowing others.” Students are encouraged to use a critical multicultural lens that centers power in societies together with supportive readings, documentary/films, and activities to examine the social construction of race (racism), gender (sexism), heteronormativity (homophobia), class (classism), and (dis)abilities (ableism) at the personal, interpersonal, institutional, and cultural levels. The conclusion highlights the need to engage self-criticality and the pedagogy of discomfort to examine the interlocking systems of oppression to support students' learning beyond just cataloging privileges.

Within teacher education problem-based learning (PBL) has the potential to enrich teaching and learning across the curriculum. It is suggested that PBL may offer a means of providing authentic scenarios for assisting pre-service teachers before encountering teaching practice. The use of media-based educational triggers and authentic scenarios may form a bridge between their studies and real-world teaching practice. Five media-rich educational triggers are described in early childhood education, physical education, educational technology, project management and inclusive education. Reusable media-based educational triggers may also provide potential resources for other educators within teacher education.

Inclusive Pedagogy

A number of different pedagogical approaches have been presented as being helpful for teachers working with students in inclusive learning environments. These approaches were developed in the late 20th century and were largely derived from models of special education. Many of them are still evident in classrooms around the world today. Based on approaches that appear to have been effective, a set of principles for the development and implementation of inclusive education pedagogy, as identified in the academic literature, can be discerned. These principles, however, are best viewed through a critical lens that highlights cautions for teachers engaged in inclusive teaching. Examples of inclusive approaches that align with some basic principles of inclusive pedagogy include but are not limited to Differentiated Instruction, Universal Design for Learning, and Florian and Spratt’s (2013) Inclusive Pedagogical Approach in Action framework.

The authors consider the ways and means of implementing the idea of inclusion in the university educational process. The researchers have included information on the history of inclusion, on various models of inclusive education, and on the specifics of a family with a child with special educational needs in the content of psychological and pedagogical disciplines, as well as elective courses. The authors have introduced new tasks of teaching practice, with students describing conflicts, bullying, mobbing, and school violence in traditional and inclusive classrooms. Stu-dents have been asked to justify their intended actions, which could prevent potential risks and find a competent way out of a difficult situation. Plot-role-playing games and group discussions held in student groups on the problems of "special" children and migrant schoolchildren have also facilitated implementation of the idea of inclusion. Discussion teaches future teachers to coordinate positions, values, to make decisions, and helps them see new personal meanings. Students' daily communication at the university with physically or mentally challenged mates with students of different cultures, faiths, and languages has played a significant role in their acceptance of inclusion.

Introduction. The institutionalisation of inclusion in higher education determines new requirements for university teachers, what is also found in the field of psychological readiness for the implementation of the educational process with the participation of students with disabilities. Aim. The present research was aimed to develop theoretical framework and experimental verification of the model of psychological readiness of academic teaching staff for the implementation of an inclusive educational process. Methodology and research methods. Methodologically, the research was based on the idea that the true implementation of inclusive higher education is conditioned by the formation of an inclusive culture of university teachers, which serves as the foundation for the implementation of inclusive practices and policies and one of the immanent attributes of which is psychological readiness to implement the educational process with the participation of disabled students. In the diagnostic and methodological terms, the current study relied on the authors' questionnaire containing the blocks of questions built using a 5-point Likert scale and characterising the severity of the various components of such readiness among university teachers in relation to working with disabled students of diverse nosological groups. The survey results were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively using the Cronbach Alpha coefficient, Shapiro-Wilk, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney tests, and the median test applying the Pearson test. To check the consistency of the proposed theoretical model of the psychological readiness of university teachers to implement an inclusive educational process, structural equation modelling (or SEM - the method of asymptotically non-parametric assessment) was employed. For statistical calculations, the program IBM SPSS Statistics ver.23 and the AMOS module were used. Results. The integrative model of the psychological readiness of faculty for the implementation of an inclusive educational process has been theoretically substantiated and experimentally confirmed. This model includes a motivational-value component (the acceptance of the values of an inclusive culture, beliefs and attitudes of the teacher regarding inclusive education), an affective component (the emotional acceptance of the situation of inclusive education and its subjects) and an operational component (the teacher's assessment of own skills in using the tools of inclusive education). In the presented model, the teacher's methodical preparedness for teaching students with disabilities acts as a cognitive component, and the resulting component is the implementation of inclusive practice based on the willingness and ability to interact with students with disabilities. It was found that, to the greatest extent, university teachers have formed a motivational readiness to implement inclusive education, but they experience a deficit of operational skills, when working with students with disabilities. At the same time, the level of psychological readiness to implement an inclusive educational process significantly differs depending on the subject specialisation of teachers and the presence / absence of previous experience of interaction with people with disabilities. Scientific novelty. The model of the psychological readiness of teachers for the implementation of inclusive education in Russia was developed and empirically confirmed. Practical significance. The findings of this research highlight the significance of the stages of the formation of university teachers' psychological readiness for inclusive education. The following stages are determined: from providing basic methodological readiness in the framework of professional development through the creation of internal conditions for readiness for inclusive education, examining the experiences and psychological difficulties in interacting with people with disabilities, and, finally, to accompanying the actual inclusive teaching practice.

La formación docente en trastornos del aprendizaje es vital para alcanzar una verdadera educación competencial e inclusiva y la actividad física adquiere especial significado. El objetivo del presente estudio fue valorar la formación que tienen los docentes en activo sobre el alumnado con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) y qué factores pueden influir en la mejora de la práctica docente. La muestra está formada por un total de 68 docentes de diferentes centros educativos públicos de la provincia de Toledo (CLM). Se utilizó un cuestionario ad hoc basado en la literatura científica y revisado por expertos. Los resultados muestran como existe una escasa formación respecto al tratamiento del alumnado con necesidades educativas especiales y alumnos TEA. Potenciar el apoyo dentro del aula al docente y disponer de mayor número y disponibilidad de programas de intervención adecuados a cada tipo de necesidad educativa, servirá para paliar las posibles carencias al respecto. Teacher training in learning disorders is vital to achieve a true competence and inclusive education and physical activity acquires special significance. The objective of this study was to assess the training that teachers have active on students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and what factors can influence the improvement of teaching practice. The sample consists of a total of 68 teachers from different public schools in the province of Toledo (CLM). An ad hoc questionnaire based on scientific literature and reviewed by experts was used. The results show how there is little training regarding the treatment of students with special educational needs and ASD students. Enhance the support within the classroom to the teacher and have more number and availability of intervention programs appropriate to each type of educational need, will serve to alleviate the possible shortcomings in this regard.

The Way

The interview with Patricia Hill Collins, a prominent social theorist whose research and studies have examined issues of race, gender, social class, sexuality and / or nation, make her a significant reference in the field of Education and Intersectionality. The content of this interview can be described in Deleuzian and Guattarian terms as crucial elements in the configuration of a Pedagogy of the minor, that is, centered on the multiplicity of differences that inhabit the school space, of which semiological, citizen and political force demand the reconfiguration of the school space. In such a case, Inclusive Education involves a complex change in the way of thinking and practicing a variety of problems and issues that relate to the totality of students known as multiple singularities. Hill Collins thinks that intersectionality is seen as a form of research and critical practice that academics and activists have used to develop a more complex understanding of social inequality and social injustice, emerging in many places by people who dealt with the common social problem to respond to social injustice. The construction of a public education through the lens of inclusion demands the building – positive labor– of an educational architecture capable of critically examining issues related to race, schools, the common benefit and democratic possibilities, recognizing the endemic nature of the violence. All this suggests a change of paradigm in the way in which intersection power systems inform the structures and organizational practices of schools. A public education system adheres to broader ethical principles of equity, equality, justice and inclusion. Thereby assuming, as a complex, relational, structural and multidimensional term. Countering the effects of differential inclusion, that is, through inequalities, proposes the challenge to educational systems to address the production of socially unfair results through education as a mechanism to reproduce inequality. American social theory points out that it is vital to offer an understanding of social justice in a more complex way to address educational inequalities. The interview addresses topics related to social and educational justice, the contribution of feminism as critical elements in the construction of the epistemology of Inclusive Education, the contributions of the intersectional current as a heuristic and methodological device key in the examination of law in the education of the infinite multiplicity of differences

Teaching is a challenging and complex process, using an effective, creative and playful teaching practice is necessary in schools. The aim of this study is to characterize the pedagogical approach MoE (Mantle of the Expert) and its aspects for the development of learning. This approach is an active methodology that converges to the new challenges of teaching, as the MoE is based on the experience, dramatization, reflection and problem solving, in which this method has three central elements: the team of specialists, the client and their task . In this imaginary context, students simulate and immerse themselves in their mission as a specialist in a certain area and need to deliver a final product to their client. This article will take a theoretical approach to MoE, in addition to establishing correlations both with BNCC and with education theorists, from classics to contemporaries, for learning purposes.
