SECTION B: Feedback on assignments
Well done to all of you. We could gather from your assignments that you have gained a lot of
knowledge on this topic, which was completely new to some of you. However, this is such a
rewarding field of practice in which all of us can play a definite role and we, therefore, hope to
see more of you venture into this field as postgraduate students. For Assignment 01, you were
given 20 multiple-choice questions and Assignment 02 consisted of long and short questions.
Feedback on both assignments follows below.
1.1 Inclusive education (2)
The term, inclusive education, is attached to various meanings such as the following:
provision of learning opportunities for all learners
provision of support to all learners
building a more quality and equitable education system for all learners
1.2 Integration (2)
Integration is the process whereby learners, with and without disabilities, attend the same
schools in the neighbourhood, without being provided with the support that they require.
1.3 Mainstreaming (2)
Mainstreaming is an education system that ensures that learners with disabilities are educated
alongside their peers without disabilities.
1.4 Individual support plan (ISP) (2)
IEP is a plan/document that guide the teacher on the support needs for a child experiencing
some learning barriers.
1.5 Medical model of disability (2)
The medical model of disability is overly concerned with diagnosis and treatment and, in
education, those who are different are targets for “remediation” (they must be fixed), as their
differentness is regarded as the problem. It is a model that is overly dependent on specialists.
1.6 Normalisation (2)
Normalisation is an idea that all people, regardless of their characteristics and abilities, have the
right and freedom to a normal school, home circumstances, normal jobs, and so forth.
