Kajian yang dijalankan adalah dengan menggunakan rekabentuk Design and Development Research (DDR). Implikasi kajian diharap dapat menyumbang kepada keperluan pembentukan model. Inclusive Education refers to an educational program that provides opportunities for students with special needs to fully pursue learning in mainstream classes with mainstream students. The inclusive education approach is in line with the government's aspirations contained in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025, which initiatives to increase the enrollment of students with special needs in inclusive education programs. There are many issues or problems found in past studies related to teaching in inclusive classrooms in the country. One of the issues found in inclusive classrooms is related to the teaching of mainstream subject teachers in inclusive classrooms for students with special needs. This concept paper aims to review the teaching of Islamic Education Teachers in Inclusive classrooms which drives the need towards the construction of inclusive teaching models. The study was conducted using Design and Development Research (DDR) design. The implications of the study are expected to contribute to the need for model formation.

Design and Development of Affective 4-Dimensional Mobile Mathematics for Low Vision Alpha Generation

In this digital era, low vision children should learn Mathematics by using similar learning content provided for mainstream students. Teachers need to express their feeling, thought, emotions, and actions to ensure the low vision learners can grasp the mathematics content. However, it is too tough for low vision children to adapt to the common learning content which is in contrast with their needs. Consequently, this study aims to develop Affective 4- Dimensional Mobile Mathematics for Low Vision Alpha Generation. This study adapted the 3-Phases Development Model. Accordingly, the findings of this study are the design and development of the abovementioned application.

Effects of University Preparation and Engagement on Achievement

<p>This study comprised an investigation of the longitudinal achievement of New Zealand first-year undergraduate students (n=967) who transitioned to their degrees through the Certificate of University Preparation (CUP) programme at Victoria University of Wellington between 2008 and 2012 and the role of preparation and engagement on their achievement. Certain student behaviours, development of study skills, importance of academic challenge, and emphasis on academic support were all correlated with later university achievement. Although engagement is a highly acclaimed concept, its links to achievement were unsubstantiated. Using linear regressions, students' academic perseverance and their achievement in CUP each uniquely predicted first-year university degree programme achievement. CUP students' university achievement was higher than mainstream students with similar secondary school achievement, based on a statistical model of achievement that accounted for the relative difficulty of achieving each result. These findings indicate that the CUP programme was effective in preparing learners to access and achieve in university.</p>

Przyswajanie złożoności językowej przez uczniów z deficytami języka i mowy w nauczaniu włączającym

The article reports on an action research study which uses reformulation as its key instrument. The aim of the study was to identify the individual characteristics of acquisition of complex structures in Polish (native language) and English (foreign language) by children with speech and language deficits, learning in an inclusive environment at the upper primary level. The analysis of the gathered data focuses on Polish and English structures used by special needs students and mainstream students in their inclusive educational environment, and on the students’ ability to build/reconstruct a narrative structure – according to the unique qualities of the input text. The observed trends help to plan and organise the teaching process, which also includes the rehabilitation of speech and language in a foreign language lesson.

Constructivism in the Shade of Racial, Ethnic, and Special Needs Diversity Students

The last decades the population of learners has dramatically changed in the majority of western societies. Students with diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds as well as students that fall into the scope of special education needs have enrolled in schooling without being able to perform competitively in science compared to the mainstream students. A prominent reason, among others, lies on the fact that the cultural origins of these pupils are often not taken into account into the teaching process. It seems that these children are taught science in school without any consideration, from both their teachers and the curriculum, about their diversity background and their unique life experiences that have inevitably affected their way of viewing the natural world around them. The present paper aspires to shed light on this issue and act as a call for science education pioneers to expand constructivism theory in order to address student diversity in science classroom.

The Role of Flexibility in the Realization of Inclusive Education

This study focused on associations between teachers’ flexibility and their use of evidence-based strategies in inclusive education in a sample of N = 119 teachers. Flexibility showed direct effects on teachers’ attitudes towards the achievement of mainstream students and students with learning difficulties, attitudes towards social benefits of inclusion for students with emotional and behavioral disturbances, and on teachers’ self-efficacy regarding the support of students’ social skills. Furthermore, indirect effects of flexibility on intentions and behavior regarding the support of social skills were found. The findings emphasize the importance of teachers’ flexibility in the realization of inclusive education.

ARE MIGRANT STUDENTS CLOSING THE GAP?

Since 2015, increased numbers of newly immigrated schoolchildren in Europe have resulted in divergent, often ad hoc measures to provide for their education. Because the basis of classroom learning is information found in written texts, the development of grade-level reading skills is of central importance. However, little is known about immigrant students’ reading skills at and following transition, and no data is available for Germany, where the study was conducted. We report the results of a longitudinal study in which migrant students’ (N = 136) reading subskills after transition into mainstream were investigated at three points over the course of 2 years and compared to cohort performance (N = 517) in grades 7 through 9. Results showed that immigrant students performed significantly below mainstream students on all measures for all data points, with little evidence that they are beginning to close the gap even after several years in mainstream.

English Language Learners and Mainstream Instruction to Enhance SEL Literacy

This chapter is grounded in the five social-emotional learning (SEL) core competencies within the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) framework. The authors present approaches and benefits associated with integrating SEL into literacy development for mainstream students at every grade level. Additionally, they explore how this integration supports English language learners in both academic and non-academic ways. Based on professional experience supported by current research, the authors offer how the incorporation of SEL into literacy instruction supports students' motivation, attitude, peer connections, and academic skill development.

Dancing Queer Tango: An Experience of Queer Pedagogy in PESTE

Purpose: The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, and queer/questioning students normally occupy a marginalized and at-risk position in classes and especially in physical education. In this paper, the authors explore the ways in which queer tango can contribute to counteracting heteronormativity and opening up students to new interactions and identifications through the performance of different gender performances in Physical Education and Sport Tertiary Education. Method: A queer tango session was carried out with 111 university students (91 men and 19 women aged 19–22 years). Data were obtained from interviews, video records, and open questionnaires about the practice. Results: The findings reveal that the performance of dance roles that are contrary to the heteronormative order reinforced both heteronormativity and queer embodiments in Physical Education and Sport Tertiary Education. Conclusion: An isolated activity is not enough, and more queer pedagogical practices should be introduced in order to make meaningful changes to mainstream students’ ideology and behaviors.
