Race and class segregation have long governed patterns of residential sorting in the American metropolis. However, as urban neighborhoods across the country experience an influx of white and middle-class residents, they could alleviate the stark economic and racial segregation that is ubiquitous to urban neighborhoods and school systems. This paper argues that gentrification is a growing phenomenon with great potential to influence neighborhoods as well as cities and the schools within them. Key steps are discussed that policymakers can take to foster neighborhood and school change that is both inclusive and equitable.

AbstractEducation is an important thing in human life. The success of an educational institution is largely determined by the leadership role of the principal. The principal is required to be able to bring the school towards the achievement of predetermined goals. Currently, the city of Yogyakarta has established an inclusive school policy as contained in the Regulation of the Governor of the Special Region of Yogyakarta Number 21 of 2013 Article 3 concerning the Implementation of Inclusive Education as a form of equity and a form of education without discrimination. However, in reality this policy is not yet clearly known by school principals, so it requires appropriate leadership strategies in dealing with problems and managing good inclusive schools to improve school quality. One of them is SMPN 2 Yogyakarta, which transforms the regular school system into an inclusive school. Therefore, this study aims to identify and describe the issues of inclusive education faced by the principal of SMP Negeri 2 Yogyakarta as well as to describe the leadership strategy of the principal in overcoming issues of school principals in inclusive schools at SMPN 2 Yogyakarta. This research uses descriptive qualitative research with data collection methods using interview techniques, observation, and documentation. The achievements of SMPN 2 Yogyakarta after following the policy to turn schools into inclusive schools include: sports and journalism.

Nowadays the inclusive practices allow all pupils to attend the school they would attend if they did not have a disability, and no pupil can be deprived of placement, because of a disability unless they are a danger to themselves or other students. Pupils with special educational needs are included in the school population and served in the general education classes alongside students without disabilities. Unlike traditional education practices, inclusive education strives to provide intervention, remediation, and support within the general education classroom. Inclusive education is based on the principle according to which education should be delivered at different levels using multiple methods to meet the needs of all pupils. Anyway, some authors discuss the risk of inclusion, which only involves moving special education practices into the mainstream classes. From this perspective, inclusion comes to mean nothing more than integrating children with special educational needs into regular classrooms and the process of ordinary teaching leaves unchanged. Based on this it is very important to investigate and analyze "the inclusive education" provided in the schools from the teachers' points of view in order to find out the real picture about the inclusiveness from a very broad perspective.
From this perspective, the review of Finish policies and practices shows that inclusion itself and by its nature is the favored approach to education for pupils with special educational needs, whenever possible.

PurposeCreating inclusive schools for students with disabilities is a major leadership responsibility for principals throughout the world. Each national, regional and local context is different, but every principal can help create and support inclusive schools. The purpose of this article is to describe the evolving context of inclusive education and school leadership in the United States aligning what is known to an established leadership framework (Hitt and Tucker, 2016), as there are similarities between the Hitt and Tucker domains and the work of leaders in inclusive schools. The authors emphasize that inclusive leadership is consistent with existing conceptualizations of principals' work. The authors consider specific policies and organizational conditions that support inclusive schools and highlight successes and continuing challenges for principals that can be applied throughout the world.Design/methodology/approachThis paper utilizes an exploratory approach to review the US policy-related and empirical literature on school leadership for effective inclusive schools. The authors draw across time from research syntheses in school and inclusive leadership from leading journals in educational leadership, special education and edited volumes focused on school leadership. The authors analyze common themes centered on leadership practice, organizational and social conditions and challenges.FindingsThe research review identified effective leadership practices that support inclusive education in the United States and provides a critical discussion of how these findings relate to international research and practice.Practical implicationsThe paper considers the relevance of national policy contexts coupled with a review of school leadership for inclusive schools that is insightful for policymakers and practitioners seeking to create more inclusive schools throughout the world.Originality/valueThe paper offers a situated review of leadership for inclusive schools in the United States. As such, this review lays the foundation for a comparative and international conversation on school leadership for inclusion.

Full textAbstract:
The number of students who attend an inclusive school in Turkey has been increasing. This increase in the number of students attending inclusive education makes the inclusive policies more significant and requires that schools of all types and levels should be ready for inclusive practices. This study aims at uncovering the views of school administrators and guidance teachers working at Anatolian high schools concerning the inclusive education. The data of the study were collected through focus group interviews. The study was carried out in Ankara during the school year of 2018–2019 with a sample of school administrators and guidance teachers working at different Anatolian high schools. The findings of the study indicate that there are serious problems in inclusive education practices at Anatolian high schools, the educational setting needed for students with special education needs cannot be provided and teachers do not have necessary experience in inclusive education.

Full textAbstract:
This qualitative single case study aimed to examine the logics of one teacher education program towards preparing pre-service teachers for inclusive teaching from the perspectives of the program’s coordinators. In particular, the study aimed to understand the practices of these coordinators and how these practices are influenced by inclusive education and teacher education policies. This examination would reveal how education policies are enacted in this particular case. New-Institutionalism (NI) theory (DiMaggio & Powell, 1991) constituted the theoretical framework that guided the methodology as well as the analysis of the findings. The study revealed that the coordinators’ understanding and practices around the existing inclusion and teacher education policies emerge from their own experiences in this particular program, intermingled with their beliefs about how inclusion should be enacted in teacher education and schools. Key findings included coordinators developing inclusive mindsets among pre-service teachers, negotiating their logics towards inclusion through modeling inclusive teaching practices in the university classroom, and engaging them in critical discussions around inclusion policy practice in schools, and coordinators calling for a curriculum policy change. Recommendations for future teacher education programming in response to the evolving inclusive education are offered.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the link between public education policies and institutional practices in Argentina throughout history and today. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology used is in line with socio-educational management studies oriented to analyse educational practices qualitatively from an institutional perspective. Findings – The review allows a wider discussion about the characteristics of the traditional organizational structure in relation to the rules, order, purposes and homogeneity of educational institutions. Furthermore, the paper shows there are some experiences and practices developed nowadays in Argentinian secondary schools that constitute a guide for social inclusion. Research limitations/implications – Throughout Argentina’s education history, secondary school has supported its policies on a bureaucratic institutional structure rationally oriented to serving interests of a minority. Today, social inclusion policies and compulsory secondary schooling are presented as an opportunity to democratize the management of educational institutions. Practical implications – In the early 2000s, the education system in Argentina kept a traditional bureaucratic structure based on a selective education policy. In this regard, statistics are quite revealing as regards the degree of social exclusion in secondary school: only 11 per cent of the students that begin first grade, finish secondary school. In 2006, after the enactment of the compulsory secondary education law, educational management is faced with the challenge to renew its institutional practices in order to make inclusion feasible. In this sense, the paper shows that secondary schools are implementing certain management practices aimed at achieving greater social inclusion. Originality/value – The paper focuses on the notion that the characteristics of management practices are related to the social interests of education policies. In this sense, the educational management of Argentinian secondary schools is undergoing a process of transformation from traditional selective practices towards more inclusive practices.

Full textAbstract:
School interventions to address sexual orientation discrimination can be important tools for fostering inclusive school climate, and improving student wellbeing. In this study, we empirically evaluated a film-based intervention, Out in Schools, designed to reduce sexual orientation prejudice and foster inclusive school attitudes. Our evaluation mapped data about Out in Schools presentations onto student data from the random cluster-stratified, province-wide 2013 British Columbia Adolescent Health Survey (BCAHS) as well as potential confounding variables of Gay-Straight Alliance clubs (GSAs) and inclusive school policies. Outcome measures included past year sexual orientation discrimination, bullying, suicidal ideation, and school connectedness among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) and heterosexual (HET) students in grades 8 through 12 (ages 13 to 18; unweighted N = 21,075, weighted/scaled N = 184,821). Analyses used complex samples logistic regression, adjusted for sample design, conducted separately by gender and orientation. We found Out in Schools presentations were associated with reduced odds of LGB students experiencing discrimination, and both LGB and HET girl students being bullied or considering suicide, and increased levels of school connectedness, even after controlling for GSAs and policies. Out in Schools appears to have an additive contribution to reducing orientation prejudice and improving LGB and heterosexual student wellbeing within schools.

Full textAbstract:
This study set out to explore the issues of inclusive education in primary education in Namibia. The specific research questions were:
1. How does Namibia address the issue of inclusive education in its educational policies and practices?
2. What are the main successes and challenges in the implementation of inclusive policies?
The research is a qualitative study and the data consists of the analysis of current Namibian policy documents related to inclusive education and interviews of seven Namibian experts in the field of education. The data was analysed by applying content analysis approach. The theoretical framework consists of theories of inclusion and inclusive education as well as the concepts and aims of Education for All global approach.
The findings show that Namibia has made relevant progress in universal access to education with the percentage of 99,6% in 2012. This is particularly significant taking into account the legacy of Apartheid, which ended after Namibia gained independence only twenty-five years ago. Another area of success is gender equality, which interviewees reported to have been achieved with the exception of two regions. At the moment it seems that more attention needs to be paid to boys, as girls seem to do better in school and stay in school longer than boys.
Quality of education is a source of much concern in Namibia. The diversity of languages and ethnic groups as well as life circumstances makes it challenging to organize inclusive relevant education for all. The language of instruction is a debated topic and forms a different challenge in urban and rural areas. There is also a shortage of qualified teachers and relevant, culture-sensitive teaching materials in all the local languages. In principle education is free of charge but some other expenses cause difficulties for children from poor backgrounds. HIV has had dramatic effects on society increasing the number of orphans and children who are responsible for their younger siblings, which has an effect on school performance. Community involvement was emphasizes as a condition to increase inclusion.
Namibian educational policies demonstrate commitment to educational development with a special concern regarding inclusive education. However, there are gaps between policy and its implementation. Interviews emphasised that efficient policy guidance and monitoring is needed to identify the bottlenecks in implementation and to plan concrete actions to develop inclusive education further.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Educationis - MEdThe democratisation of the South African government created a policy environment that enabled transformation in every sphere of our society. Transformation of the education sector was marked by the adoption of inclusive education as a constitutional imperative in this country. This resulted in attempts to make ordinary mainstreams schools more accessible to learners with disabilities. The transformation of schools into inclusive institutions is a tedious process that is being further complicated by the contentious nature of the notion of inclusion. The challenge to schools and institutions is that there is no measuring instrument against which schools can measure their own development, and which can inform the process they embark on. Against this backdrop this study aimed at developing an instrument that could guide schools through the process of becoming more inclusive. The question that this study seeks to answer is: What are the indicators that can be used to evaluate the development of inclusive practices in mainstream schools in the Western Cape context? Methodologically the study is set in a qualitative research paradigm that employed a participatory action research method (PAR), that matches the spirit of democracy that permeates the society in which participants in study found themselves in. In-depth interviews were used to pursue the aim of the study. Inclusive education is described in literature as an elusive and contentious concept. This description resonated well with the findings of this study as participants conceptualised inclusive education in a variety of ways. The study explored the three interconnected dimensions of inclusive education to direct the development of inclusive education in a school. This exploration yielded a variety of indicators for each dimension that were categorised in general indicators and more specific indicators. These general and specific indicators, as were foregrounded by the participants, were then collated in an instrument that the stakeholders of the school could use to support and monitor the implementation of inclusive cultures, policies and practices in their school.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Educationis - MEdSchool admission policies are powerful tools that can sometimes contain provisions that are in conflict with the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and other legislation and policies which regulate education in South Africa. Provisions relating to fees, documents required for admission and specific admission practices may have the effect of excluding certain learners from admission to schools. Such practices include charging application fees, charging registration fees, administering admission tests and demanding only specific documents for proof of address. On the face of it, these practices may seem unproblematic, but in effect, they exclude certain learners. This may be contrary to South African Law. Section 36 of the Constitution allows for the limitation of rights. Differentiation or discrimination may be permissible; however, it is unfair discrimination that is prohibited. Consequently the constitutionality of these policies and practices investigated are measured against the protection afforded by the Constitution. This study identifies some of these exclusionary provisions and practices at schools and proposes possible ways to eradicate and combat them. Because the exclusion of learners, whether through school admission policies or practices, may unjustifiably encroach upon the rights of such learners, this is an investigation into a legal issue and a legal theoretical lens must, therefore, be used to address this phenomenon. This qualitative study thus determines whether or not, and if so, how school admissions policies function to exclude learners from schools. The research is based on the comparative analysis of various public documents including the Constitution; legislation; judicial decisions; awards of cases of the Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC) and policies of the Western Cape Education Department school admission policies and practices from five high schools and five primary schools in the Western Cape were sampled and analysed. The focus of the research is public schools in the Western Cape Province including specialised schools referred to as focus schools.

Previous issue date: 2011-08-25This research was carried out to identify actions developed by school management aiming at organizing an inclusive school, in a public school within Presidente Prudente Education Superintendency. The methodology proposed for it comprises the qualitative approach and the research subjects are professionals working in the school divided into the following categories: principal, assistant principal, grade/junior high school pedagogical coordinator and senior high school pedagogical coordinator. To collect the data, individual interviews were held, with previously organized scripts and documental analysis; work plans developed by the pedagogical coordinators; team pedagogical meetings (HTPC) minutes and pedagogical proposal of the school at issue dealing with its daily life and the people involved in it. The collected data were organized and analyzed by means of content analysis, which allowed a definition of the analysis categories. This research showed that the understanding of the concept, the principles which guide the proposal for inclusive education in the school at issue have not been well defined yet by the official managers. In spite of prevailing an understanding of the shared management, the interviewed people did not show the need of that management in the construction of an inclusive school. However, this research suggested that in that school actions for achieving an inclusive education are precise, isolated, and are not, organized, planned or based on the general guidelines of the school.
Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo identificar as ações desenvolvidas pela gestão escolar com vistas a construir uma escola inclusiva, em uma escola pública da Diretoria de Ensino Região de Presidente Prudente. A metodologia proposta envolve a abordagem qualitativa e os sujeitos da pesquisa são constituídos por profissionais que atuam na escola, assim distribuídos: diretor, vice-diretor, coordenador pedagógico do ensino fundamental e coordenador pedagógico do ensino do ensino médio. Na coleta de dados, foram utilizadas entrevistas individuais, com roteiros elaborados previamente e análise documental; planos de trabalho das coordenadoras pedagógicas; atas das HTPCs e proposta pedagógica da escola que tratam do cotidiano da escola e de seus atores. Os dados coletados foram organizados e analisados por meio da análise de conteúdo, a qual permitiu uma definição de categorias de análise. Este trabalho revelou que o entendimento sobre o conceito, os princípios que norteiam a proposta de educação inclusiva na unidade escolar ainda não estão bem definidos para os gestores oficiais. Apesar de prevalecer o entendimento de gestão compartilhada, os entrevistados não mostraram a necessidade dessa gestão para a construção de uma escola inclusiva. Contudo, esta pesquisa concluiu que nessa unidade escolar as ações da gestão para a educação inclusiva são pontuais, isoladas e não estão fundamentadas, organizadas ou planejadas nas diretrizes gerais da escola.

Full textAbstract:
The purposes of this study were to research the current inclusive practices in primary school music education in the Republic of Korea (ROK), identify issues that hamper optimal inclusion, and develop instructional strategies and recommendations to assist general educators in the accommodation of students with disabilities in their music classes.
Analyses of public documents from the government of the ROK reveal that since the enactment of the Special Education Promotion Law (1977), there has been an increase in the number of students with disabilities educated inclusively. The current curricular requirements of the universities of education regarding general educators' music instruction and special education are limited. Furthermore, the government-mandated "Seventh Music Curriculum" (used in every ROK primary school) indicated no accommodation for use with students who have disabilities. Consequently, primary school general educators, while often expected to provide inclusive music instruction, have little preparation or resources available to assist them in making appropriate instructional modifications.
Because of the limited pedagogical or research information available within the ROK, additional information regarding the accommodation of students with disabilities was obtained from special education and music education resources in the United States. These resources provided the basis for pedagogical strategies developed for adapted lesson plans for grades three through six.
As these findings suggest, initiatives such as improved pre-service and in-service training are needed to prepare general educators in effective instructional methods and accommodations for inclusive music education. In-service training for such teachers could possibly be provided by music therapists if the therapists are fully conversant with the instructional difficulties faced by the teachers.
The current development of the Eighth Curriculum by the South Korean government provides an excellent opportunity to include information on students with disabilities within the teacher's manuals. Additional resource materials for the teachers would also be beneficial. Future studies are needed regarding teacher competencies, pre-service preparation, in-service training, and needs assessment regarding inclusive music education.

The present research, which was held in 2006/7, had two main goals that complete each other: the first one was to map and analyze the different processes of school experiences offered to handicapped students by the government of Mozambique and the possible results that were reached. The second one was to verify how the school experiences have been happening in different schools, from 1999 (when the government of Mozambique introduced the policy of Inclusive Schools) until 2006. The leading problems were: what were the basic principles, instructions and actions developed by the government of Mozambique to keep handicapped students at schools, as well as the results that were reached with the implementation of national policies, considering the historic period of 1999 to 2006? What organizational and teaching practices were executed by different schools with an incorporation sense with quality to handicapped students? As a result of the delimited problems, the following hypotheses were defined: the policies of inclusiveness developed by the government of Mozambique could not reach the total number of the population of handicapped people at school age; the results obtained with included students do not prove that the access had assured quality of teaching; and that the pioneer schools that adopted this policy of inclusiveness could not effectuate transformations in their structures and dynamics so as to incorporate those students in a qualified way. The data collect about the policies was held through checking official documents about handicapped students experiences at school and through interviews with administrators working at central and regional organs. The data collect at schools, which was held in the second semester of 2006, was possible through school documents and interviews with those who are responsible for four selected institutions. The criteria for selection of schools were: a) to be located in two regions with marked differences in the development of social-economical structure; b) to be pioneers in the process of implementation of the philosophy of school inclusiveness in Mozambique, and c) to be benefited of upper methodological support by Technicians of the CENTRAL STAFF OF THE SPECIAL EDUCATION OF MOZAMBIQUE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION . The statistic data were organized into tables that allowed the visualization of the situation of students with special educational needs in Mozambique. The contents of the interviews were organized and classified according to the aims of the research. They were also analyzed based on the contributions of authors such as Perez Gómez (2001) and Gimeno Sacristán (1998 and 1999), Ferraro (1999b and 2004) and Bueno (1999 and 2005). The present research allowed analysis and evaluation of the implementation of inclusiveness educational policies in Mozambique, characterized by the expressive enlargement of the access to mandatory presence of students at school and, on the other hand, by the non existence of specialized support and services on the flux of school life of handicapped students as well as the application of inconsistent models on the initial and continuing formation of teachers on methodology and inclusive strategies on the public teaching network
A presente pesquisa, levada a efeito em 2006/7, teve dois objetivos que se completam: o primeiro foi o de mapear e analisar os diferentes processos de escolarização oferecidos pelo Governo de Moçambique aos alunos com deficiência, e os possíveis resultados alcançados; o segundo o de verificar como a escolarização tem se dado em diferentes escolas, de 1999, quando o governo moçambicano implantou a política de Escolas Inclusivas, até 2006. Os problemas norteadores foram: Quais foram os princípios básicos, as diretrizes e ações desenvolvidas pelo Governo de Moçambique para escolarização de alunos com deficiência, bem como os resultados alcançados com a implementação das políticas nacionais, considerando o período histórico entre 1999 e 2006? Que práticas organizacionais e de ensino foram efetivadas por diferentes escolas, no sentido da incorporação, com qualidade, de alunos com deficiências? Decorrentes dos problemas delimitados foram definidas as seguintes hipóteses: as políticas de inclusão escolar desenvolvidas pelo Governo de Moçambique não conseguiram atingir a totalidade da população em idade escolar com deficiência; os resultados alcançados com relação aos alunos incluídos não comprovam que o acesso tenha garantido um ensino de qualidade e, as escolas pioneiras na adoção desta política de inclusão escolar não conseguiram efetuar transformações em sua estrutura e dinâmica que incorporassem esses alunos de forma qualificada. A coleta de dados sobre as políticas foi efetivada através da consulta a fontes documentais oficiais sobre a escolarização de alunos com deficiência e por entrevistas com gestores lotados nos órgãos centrais e regionais. A coleta nas escolas, realizada no segundo semestre de 2006, foi efetivada por meio dos documentos escolares e entrevistas com os responsáveis pelas quatro escolas selecionadas. Os critérios para a seleção das escolas objeto da pesquisa têm a ver com o fato de: a) se localizarem em duas regiões com marcadas diferenças de desenvolvimento da estrutura sócio-econômica; b) de serem das pioneiras no processo de implementação da filosofia de inclusão escolar em Moçambique e, c) por isso, terem se beneficiando de maior apoio metodológico de Técnicos da Equipe Central da Repartição de Educação Especial do Ministério de Educação em Moçambique. Os dados estatísticos foram organizados em quadros e tabelas que permitissem a visualização da situação da escolarização dos alunos com necessidades educativas especiais em Moçambique. Os conteúdos das entrevistas foram organizados e classificados de acordo com os objetivos da pesquisa, bem como analisados à luz das contribuições de autores como Perez Gómez (2001) e Gimeno Sacristán (1998 e 1999), Ferraro (1999b e 2004) e Bueno (1999 e 2005). A presente pesquisa permitiu uma análise e avaliação da implementação das políticas educacionais inclusivas em Moçambique, em que se caracteriza, de um lado, pela ampliação expressiva do acesso à escolarização obrigatória e, por outro, por inexistência de apoios e serviços especializados no fluxo de escolarização de alunos com deficiência, além da aplicação de modelos inconsistentes de formação inicial e continuada de professores em metodologias e estratégias de inclusão escolar na rede de ensino público

Abstract: According to the current legislation that deals with Special Education in the Inclusive Perspective, especially the deaf, as the target of this research, the interest and course of this came from my practice as a literacy teacher of deaf students, in the state public school, and later as an academic teacher in charge of the discipline: “Introduction to the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras)”, where I did not see an inclusive practice in the contexts where I worked as a literacy teacher, and also in the speeches of students in university formation. The research is inserted in the field of school inclusion of the deaf and has as a general objective such as observing, investigating, and analyzing the implementation of the public policy in an inclusive perspective of the deaf, in a town in the state of São Paulo, specifically in the regular system of the state public education. The locus of the research was three public schools of this regular system, located one in the central part of the town and the other two in the peripheral part, which the selection criteria was given by the fact that they are schools that have deaf students included in regular classes, in the starting years of elementary education and considered inclusive by the Regional Board of Education. Three managers, three coordinators, twelve teachers, four interlocutors, four school agents, one general service employee and three cooks participated in the study.

Esse estudo buscou identificar e analisar as práticas desenvolvidas por psicólogos da rede pública de Educação, visando compreender desafios e possibilidades presentes no processo de construção de uma atuação coerente com as discussões presentes na literatura da área de Psicologia Escolar e Educacional, cuja perspectiva centra-se no processo de escolarização e nas relações de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento que se produzem no cotidiano escolar. Elegeu-se como método investigativo a abordagem qualitativa de estudo de caso, optando-se por acompanhar o trabalho de uma equipe de psicólogos escolares que atuam em uma Secretaria Municipal de Educação do estado de São Paulo. Para tanto, foram realizados os seguintes procedimentos metodológicos: a) acompanhamento de psicólogos em visitas a Unidades Escolares; b) participação em contexto formativo da equipe e c) entrevista coletiva. Esses momentos foram registrados em um diário de campo, privilegiando-se como método de análise os conteúdos presentes nas falas, nas ações e proposições apresentadas durante os encontros realizados. A partir desse conjunto de informações, temos a destacar os seguintes aspectos: a) um dos focos centrais de atuação do grupo de psicólogos diz respeito à implementação da política de Educação Inclusiva no município, acompanhando crianças incluídas na rede regular de ensino e assessorando escolas nesse processo. As estratégias de atuação incluem conversas com gestores e professores, observação dos alunos em sala de aula, reunião com pais, grupo com alunos; b) de maneira geral, destacam-se, nas ações dos profissionais, práticas e concepções coerentes com a perspectiva que considera a importância das dimensões sociais, pedagógicas, políticas e institucionais como constitutivas do processo de escolarização, de maneira a incentivar a participação de todos os atores escolares no processo de ensino e aprendizagem, a reflexão sobre práticas pedagógicas excludentes, e o investimento na formação docente. Também foram apontados alguns desafios: a) divergências de expectativas em relação ao trabalho de psicólogos na escola por parte de professores e/ou gestores, que ainda esperam uma atuação clínica do psicólogo na Educação; b) dificuldades em constituir espaços de intervenção mais coletivos nos quais professores e gestores possam trocar experiências e produzir reflexões juntos; c) ausência de reuniões entre a própria equipe técnica. Por fim, essa pesquisa permitiu compreender elementos presentes no processo de construção de uma atuação do psicólogo escolar numa perspectiva crítica no âmbito do ensino público, podendo assim contribuir para a elaboração de políticas públicas capazes de responder às necessidades reais das escolasThe objective of this study is to identify and analyze the practices developed by psychologists in the public education system in order to understand the challenges and possibilities in the development process of such practices. These practices are consistent with the recent literature of the School Psychology whose perspective focuses in the schooling process and the learning and development relations established between teachers and students in the school routine. The research method was based in a qualitative case study of school psychologists team, that works in an educational municipality department of São Paulo. For this purpose, the following methodological procedures were followed: a) monitoring psychologists visits in schools; b) participation in the formation moment of the psychologists team; c) one group interview. All situations were registered in a field diary and some of them were highlighted in the analyses. One of the most important actions of the psychologists team concerns the implementation of an inclusive education policy, which means supporting the children accepted in the regular school and helping schools in this process. The strategies include talking to principal and teachers; observing the students in the classroom; participating in meetings with parents; organizing focal groups with the students. In general, the professionals have practices and conceptions that value the importance of the social, educational, political and institutional aspects as constitutive elements of the schooling process. These practices also encourage: a) the involvement of all school actors in the process of teaching and learning; b) the reflection on excluding teaching practices; c) investment in teacher training. Some challenges were also highlighted: a) differing expectations of teachers and principal about the work of psychologists in school, the first one seems to be still awaiting for clinical psychologists performance in education; b) difficulties in constituting collective spaces of intervention in which teachers and principals can exchange experiences and ideas; c) lack of opportunities for exchange between the psychologists team. Finally, this research contribute to understand of some elements of the school psychologist\'s development practices in a critical perspective in the context of public education system, it also contributes to the elaboration of public policies to address schools concrete necessities

Municipal elementary schools receive most of the students from K 8th grade and the number of enrollments of students with special needs has increased nationwide as a result of the implementation of municipal policies for this area of education. Several studies about the inclusion of these students in municipal schools have been conducted with the purpose to evaluate the impact of the National Program for Inclusive Education: the right for diversity; evaluation of teacher training; understanding teachers concepts after the insertion of students with special needs in their classroom; and research on the general aspects related to the proposal of inclusion in the educational system. However, studies focusing on teachers concepts in relation to the proposal of inclusion, elaborated by the municipal office of education, are still insufficient to know the reality of more than a thousand Brazilians counties. Taking into consideration that the municipal board of education has the autonomy to elaborate such proposals whose implications are not yet thoroughly known the present study had the objective to analyze the inclusion in the context of a regional education network from the conceptions of teachers who have students with special needs in their classroom. The study was developed in the municipal school network of Vitória da Conquista, Bahia state (Brazil), more specifically in those schools with the largest number of students with special needs enrolled in regular classrooms. The methodological principle that guided this study was the qualitative approach. The research is descriptive in nature and data was collected in the field through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. 30 municipal teachers who had students with special needs in their classrooms participated in the research. The interview script was evaluated by four judges and all interviews were recorded and later transcribed and submitted for content analysis. The results indicated hat even though the city of Vitória da Conquista is considered a regional educational center participating in the National Program of Inclusive Education since 2004, the increase in the number of enrollments of students with special needs is relatively recent; the results also show that most of these students have intellectual disability; teachers academic training is poor; the number of professionals qualified to offer services to students with special needs is small; also, lack of support to these teachers is pointed out as being one of the biggest obstacles to the realization of the inclusive education policies. It is expected that the positions and reflections of teacher participants can be seen as relevant sources for the City Board of Education - SMED, in the sense that the real educational needs of the network were found in these teacher reports. It is expected that the results bring new contributions to the process of school inclusion as well as a reflection on the pedagogical practices of the participating teachers regarding students with disabilities and that their conceptions can foster new guidelines that permeate the policies of educational inclusion of the municipality.
A rede de ensino municipal é responsável por grande parte dos alunos do Ensino Básico e o número de matriculas de alunos com deficiência vem aumentando em todo país, após a política de municipalização deste nível de ensino. Muitos estudos sobre inclusão escolar nos municípios vêm sendo realizados para investigar questões como a avaliação do impacto do Programa Nacional Educação Inclusiva: direito à diversidade; formação de professores; concepções dos professores após a matrícula do aluno com deficiência em sua sala de aula, entre outras. Entretanto, estudos sobre a concepção dos professores em relação à proposta de inclusão escolar, elaborada pelas secretarias municipais de educação, ainda são insuficientes para conhecer a realidade dos mais de cinco mil municípios brasileiros. Tendo em vista que as secretarias municipais possuem autonomia para elaborar tais propostas e que suas implicações ainda não são totalmente conhecidas é que o presente estudo teve por objetivo geral analisar a inclusão escolar no contexto de um município-pólo a partir das concepções dos professores que atendem alunos com deficiência na sala de aula da rede regular. O estudo foi desenvolvido na rede de ensino municipal de Vitória da Conquista Bahia, especificamente nas dependências das escolas municipais que mais tinham alunos com deficiência matriculados nas classes comuns. O princípio metodológico que norteou este estudo foi à abordagem qualitativa. A pesquisa caracterizou-se como descritiva utilizando-se do estudo de campo como método de coleta de dados. Participaram do estudo trinta professores da rede regular municipal que tinham alunos com deficiência em sua sala de aula. Para coleta de dados utilizou-se questionários e um roteiro de entrevista semi-estruturada. O roteiro foi apreciado por quatro juízes e os dados obtidos através das entrevistas foram registrados em áudio e, posteriormente transcritos, transformados em textos e submetidos à análise do conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciaram que mesmo sendo um município-pólo do Programa Nacional Educação Inclusiva desde 2004, o aumento da matrícula de alunos com deficiência na rede é relativamente novo (2006); revelou também que o maior contingente de alunos com deficiência matriculados estava na categoria da deficiência intelectual; a formação acadêmica dos professores é precária; o número de profissionais capacitados para o atendimento educacional especializado é pequeno e a falta de apoio ao professor foi apontada como sendo um dos maiores entraves à efetivação da Política de Educação Inclusiva. Espera-se que os posicionamentos e reflexões dos professores participantes possam constituir-se em fontes relevantes para a Secretaria Municipal de Educação - SMED, no sentido em que as reais necessidades educacionais da rede foram evidenciadas em seus relatos. Almeja-se que os resultados tragam novas contribuições ao processo de inclusão escolar, bem como uma reflexão sobre as práticas pedagógicas dos professores participantes em relação aos alunos com deficiência e que suas concepções possam fomentar novas diretrizes que permeiam a política de inclusão escolar do município.

AbstractThe experience of the development of inclusive education strategies in various countries has been the source of various conceptions and practices, which have gradually evolved into the axis of the education policy of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. This chapter presents an overlook of insights that are significant for the practical implementation of inclusive education and substantiated by scientific research. As the perception of inclusive education developed from meeting special educational needs in general schools (Florian. Int J Incl Educ 23(7–8): 691–704. 10.1080/13603116.2019.1622801, 2019) to recognising the variety of needs of all students (Meyer et al. Universal design for learning: theory and practice. CAST, 2014), the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) approach was presented to the pedagogical circles. This chapter of the book examines the fundamental aspects of the UDL approach in the context of the development of the inclusive education construct, from emphasising the Zone of Proximal Development (Vygotsky. Thought and language. MIT Press, 1962) to highlighting the processes taking place in the inclusive education ecosystem (European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education. Inclusive school leadership: exploring policies across Europe. (E. Óskarsdóttir, V. Donnelly & M. Turner-Cmuchal, Eds.). Odense, Denmark. https://www.european-agency.org/sites/default/files/sisl_synthesis_report.pdf. Retrieved 16 April 2021, 2019), revealing the variety of perceptions of student uniqueness and education differentiation concepts in implementing inclusive education, and discussing the differences between the specificities of education goals and their implementation in the UDL and traditional approaches. The analysis of scientific research allowed us to distinguish the basic aspects of the UDL approach that are significant for the transformation of the traditional education system into a high-quality one based on the presumptions of success for every student and formed on the grounds of inclusive education.

AbstractThe capability to use digital technologies in an appropriate way has become a fundamental requirement of everyday life and wide adoption of digital technologies has gained a firm footing into the educational systems. Equity is a central goal in the Nordic model and ICT integration policies are warranted at the national level along with massive improvements in ICT infrastructures. The schools in their efforts towards realizing this objective have to integrate digital technology in teaching and learning in such a way that all children are given opportunities to participate in work, life and society. It is thus of interest to study the extent of digital inclusion, by examining the variation in computer and information literacy of students both within and between schools by addressing access and use of ICT in instruction among teachers. Data for the present study comes from 138 schools from Norway (2436 students, 1653 teachers) and 110 schools from Denmark (1767 students, 728 teachers) who took part in the International Computer and Information Literacy Study in 2013. Using a multilevel approach, variations at both levels in student computer and information literacy score and teacher collaboration in ICT use were examined. The results indicate that availability of digital technologies is a significant contributor towards student ICT achievement and teacher collaboration in both countries. There are small differences in computer and literacy score between the schools, while significant variations are noted between the students. Additionally, teachers’ attitudes are found to contribute significantly towards collaboration between teachers.

ABSTRACT Background: In addition to unsuccessful policies to prepare communities for disaster reduction, the high risk of earthquakes and their harmful consequences indicate that more consideration should be given to social factors in this regard. All community shelters are vulnerable to disasters, especially children, so efforts are needed to determine disaster preparedness factors for elementary school students in Denpasar City. This study aimed to analyzed of earthquake preparedness measures in students at elementary school, Denpasar, Bali. Subjects and Methods: This was a descriptive study conducted at an elementary school in Denpasar from January to September. A sample of 350 elementary school students in Denpasar whose schools have a disaster preparedness school (SSB) program selected by purposive sampling. The inclusion criteria were elementary school students grades 5 and 6 in Denpasar City, who can read fluently and are willing to be research respondents. The exclusion criteria were respondents who refused to be research subjects. The data were collected by 40 questions, where knowledge was 10 items, attitude was 10 items, facilities and infrastructure were 10 items, and IEC was 10 items. The data was analyzed by descriptively Results: The preparedness factors of elementary school students in facing earthquake disasters were still low. There were five earthquake preparedness factors for elementary students in Denpasar, namely (1) experience, (2) knowledge, (3) attitude, (4) facilities and (5) infrastructure, and IEC. The dominant knowledge variable of elementary school students is less than 233 (63.7%), the prevalent attitude variable is negative 244 (64%), the prevalent facilities and infrastructure variable are less than 215 (61.4%), and 300 (85.7%) dominant information and education communication. Conclusion: It is essential to be able to improve these preparedness factors with a variety of continuous education and training for elementary students, and health workers should work together with regional disaster management agency to establish disaster prepared schools in Denpasar City.

Full textAbstract:
The research aims to explore empirically the competences-based teaching and assessment practices of 19 Italian secondary school teachers through a focus group methodology. The meeting was the starting point for a professional training course on inclusive learning design using multimodal digital environments, i.e. social network sites and the Web 2.0. Results show that the competences-based framework adopted at an institutional level more than one decade ago did not impact the knowledge-based teaching and “intuitive” assessment practices of participants. These conclusions advance the understanding of the weak relationship between educational policies and teaching practices in the Italian context. Furthermore, interesting limits toward pedagogical and digital innovation in secondary school emerged. In particular, the learning practices of young people in social network sites and Web 2.0 were identified as the most influencing factor on the perceived detachment between participants and their students. As a consequence, teachers stigmatised these technologies, revealing marked tensions while introducing ITC and innovative digital pedagogies based on new forms of learning.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is a reflective discussion on the use of equipment matrices to determine infrastructure requirements in an education context. This position was originally presented within the wider framework of a government-funded research project to initiate national policies for implementing IT within primary schools. Equipment matrices were seen by the policymakers funding this reasearch as an appropriate method for representing the needs of a school. Equipment matrices represent a systematised and regularised understanding of the relationships between social practices and technological tools (Curriculum Materials Information Services, 1997). The users of these tools are enmeshed within the matrix through a complex combination of meanings and interaction. However, the correlation of variables within a two-dimensional matrix produces a ‘simple’ representation of the available information that is heavily abbreviated. Lost among this condensation are the needs and presence of the user, either individually or collectively. The ‘snapshot’ of information that matrices present is, however, refined by the direct inclusion of volatile information such as contemporary equipment and sofware specifications. In this paper we argue that the range of factors beyond technical specifications that influence the use and understanding of information technology are necessary elements within any consideration of IT infrastructure requirements. These, however, can only be simultaneously included in the equipment matrix representation with more expansive incorporation of multiple parameters. Simplification, we advocate, should not be the aim of the methods that determine educational infrastructure requirements but rather, in its place, is the need for sensitivity to the learners and their needs.

Full textAbstract:
Early child development is related to early education, health, nutrition, and psychosocial development; therefore, the holistic concept of early approach combines elements from the area of stimulation of the child, health, nutrition, speech therapy, psychological counselling, physical development support, etc. The need for the development of integrated early education services and their extension to the area of 0-3 years are priorities of the European strategies assumed through a complex of educational policy measures, having as a priority the development of quality early education services for the benefit of all prerequisites for lowering the schooling rate (Strategy for early childhood education, Strategy for parental education, Strategy for reducing early school leaving in Romania, Study on the evaluation of public policies in the field of early childhood education - Saber Early Childhood). In this context of the development of early childhood education, numerous inequalities are identified in the implementation of European and national strategies and programs in the development of early childhood education services, supported by economic, political, social factors, etc. In order to make them compatible at European level, we consider it necessary to support training and development programs for staff providing educational services in early childhood education institutions. The purpose of this study is to acknowledge the opinion of the bodies with attributions in the pre-kindergarten and preschool education in Romania, as well as of the civil society and public opinion, as a prerequisite for identifying school policy measures and developing programs for training the teaching staff so as to be able to provide educational services in early childhood education (representatives responsible for early childhood education in school inspectorates and Houses of the Teaching Staff, teaching staff in preschool educational institutions, representatives of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, representatives of the Social Assistance Directorate, managers of nursery schools, representatives of NGOs and other categories of organizations with experience in the field, parents and interested representatives of the civil society and public opinion). The present study is a qualitative research based on the focus-group method, but also a quantitative research by using the questionnaire-based survey, being carried out on a representative sample of 100 persons (2 focus-group of 25 persons, respectively 50 persons involved in the survey-based questionnaire). The conclusions of this study highlight the need to restructure the system of early childhood education in Romania through interventions at the legislative level and ensure a unitary system of policy and intervention in early childhood education. Also, we believe it is imperative to reorganize the training system of the human resource, by developing complementary competences of the teaching staff, adapted to the training needs of the early childhood population, ensuring a valuable inclusive and integrated intervention.

Full textAbstract:
Having a disability can be one of the most marginalizing factors in a child’s life. In education, finding ways to meet the learning needs of students with disabilities can be challenging, especially in schools, districts, regions, and countries with severely limited resources. Inclusive education—which fully engages all students, including students with disabilities or other learning challenges, in quality education—has proven particularly effective in helping all students learn, even while challenges to implementing inclusive education systems remain. This guide provides suggestions for developing inclusive education systems and policies, especially for low- and middle-income countries that are moving from a segregated system toward an inclusive system of education. We specifically address the needs of countries with limited resources for implementing inclusive education. However, our strategies and recommendations can be equally useful in other contexts where inclusive education practices have not yet been adopted.

Full textAbstract:
Children with disabilities suffer disproportionately from the learning crisis. Although they represent only about 1.5% to 5% of the child population, they comprise more than half of out-of-school children globally. Inspired by a commitment that every child has the right to quality education, a growing global drive for inclusive education promotes an education system where children with disabilities receive an appropriate and high-quality education that is delivered alongside their peers. The global commitment to inclusive education is captured in the Sustainable Development Goal 4—ensuring inclusive and equitable education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. This paper explores inclusive education for children with disabilities in Mongolia’s mainstream education system, based on a 2019 survey of more than 5,000 households; interviews with teachers, school administrators, education ministry officials, and social workers; and visits to schools and kindergartens in four provinces and one district of the capital city. Mongolia has developed a strong legal and policy framework for inclusive education aligned with international best practice, but implementation and capacity are lagging. This is illustrated using four indicators of inclusive education: inclusive culture, inclusive policies, inclusive practices, and inclusive physical environments. The conclusion presents a matrix of recommendations for government and education sector development partners.

Full textAbstract:
The World Health Organization and World Bank (2011) estimate that there are more than 1 billion people with disabilities in the world. To address this population’s diverse needs, the United Nations drafted their Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in 2006. Article 24 (Education) of the CRPD requires ratifying countries to develop an inclusive education system to address the educational needs of students with disabilities alongside their peers without disabilities. Despite substantive improvements and movement toward inclusive education, many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) continue to struggle with accurately identifying and supporting students with disabilities, including knowing how to effectively screen, evaluate, and qualify students for additional services (Hayes, Dombrowski, Shefcyk, & Bulat, 2018a). These challenges stem from the lack of policies, practices, and qualified staff related to screening and identification. As a result, many students with less-apparent disabilities—such as children with learning disabilities—remain unidentified and do not receive the academic supports they need to succeed in school (Friend & Bursuck, 2012). This guide attempts to address the lack of appropriate, useful disability screening and identification systems and services as countries look to educate all students in inclusive settings. Specifically, this guide introduces viable options for screening and identification related to vision, hearing, and learning disabilities in inclusive classrooms in LMICs. It also provides guidance on how LMICs can transition from an assessment-center model toward a school-based identification model that better serves an inclusive education system.

Full textAbstract:
Pre-pandemic, EU policies towards North Africa, especially Tunisia and Morocco, focused on two main paradigms: trade liberalization and the minimization of both regular and irregular migration. These agendas were incoherent and had overwhelmingly negative implications for the livelihoods and employment opportunities within the EU for the most vulnerable people in the Maghreb. As the coronavirus impacts continue to wreak havoc on world economies, any future negotiations on the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Areas (DCFTAs) ought to be geared towards supporting fair and inclusive recovery in North Africa based on reducing inequality and promoting shared prosperity and development.
