, Responses to the questions:
9.1.1 Read the Principles of Inclusive Education (Department of Education, 2001, p.18)
and answer the questions below:
9.1.1.1 Identify two (2) words and one (1) phrase used by teachers in the extract from
Jane’s story that suggest that they were still confusing special education with
inclusive education.
The two words:
Special
Frail
The phrase:
“… in need of very special care …”
9.1.1.2 How does the story reveal that the physical environment did not accommodate
learners like Jane?
The phrase “…pushing myself in my wheelchair down endless corridors and,
consequently being tired”, simply means that there were insufficient infrastructures
for learners like Jane who demands the use of wheelchairs to get from point A to
point B. Jane got tired for pushing herself in her wheelchair down endless corridors
can certainly illustrate that the physical environment did not accommodate learners
like Jane. If the physical environment indeed accommodates learners like Jane, they
would have been able to freely move around without getting tired.
A physical environment which does not accommodate learners with barriers to
learning can most possibly take unnecessary energy and waste valuable education
time.
9.1.1.3 Highlight the evidence from Jane’s story that suggests that even the school
curriculum did not cater for learners like Jane?
Evidence such like the phrase “…my memories of junior school were not learning to
read, add or multiply, nor even how to keep pets.... no, they were of endless hours of
physio, tons of art and craft…”
In other words, if the school curriculum did cater for learners like Jane, Jane would
have enjoyed school and the content she learnt. But we can see the opposite of this
as Jane remembers all the art and craft and physio she had to do, instead of enjoying
and remembering things like addition, multiplication or division.
Thus, can we say that the school curriculum did not cater for learners like Jane.
