1. What is your understanding of the concept inclusive education? (15)
Answer:
Inclusive education is a relatively controversial topic for many parents and educators.
The idea behind inclusive education is that students with special needs will be placed in
the same classroom environment as other students their age who do not have special
needs. Within inclusive education, there are two main branches of thinking:
Mainstreaming is a process that allows children with special needs to enter certain
standard classrooms after they show the ability to keep up with the rest of their peers.
Full inclusion puts students with special needs in standard classroom environments
without testing or demonstration of skills. Individuals that support full inclusion believe
that all children belong in the same classroom environment no matter what.
Why Is Inclusion Important?
While feelings about inclusive education are still somewhat mixed, many studies show that
children with special needs thrive in standard classroom environments for a variety of different
reasons. On an interpersonal level, inclusive education allows children to develop friendships
with their peers and feel less social tension about their disabilities. Some people believe that
children who are placed in standard classroom environments generally have higher self-esteem
than children who are isolated to different classrooms simply because they have special needs.
Other studies show that children with special needs actually learn more in regular classroom
environments, provided they get the help and support they need in and out of the classroom
when it comes to academic subjects. Groups that oppose inclusive education often maintain the
position that children without special need will be forced to learn at a slower pace, but in
practice, this is easily avoided by qualified teachers.
