,Long questions from past exams and assignments:
Inclusive education is an educational practice that focuses only on addressing the learning
needs of children with disabilities. Do you agree with the above-mentioned statement?
Elaborate your answer by:
- Describing the concept “inclusive education” (3 marks)
Disagree. It is an education framework that ensures access to education for all learners,
regardless of their difference in culture, race, language, abilities, gender, socio-economic status
etc. We all need to acknowledge learners differences and provide each one with necessary
support.
- Listing seven principles of Inclusive education. (7 marks)
- Acknowledging that each child has his own strength and abilities
- Acknowledging that all children can learn, regardless of their differences in culture, race,
language and disability
- education systems and learning methods must meet the needs of all learners
- Everyone needs to respect differences among learners
- Learning occurs in formal and informal settings (home and community)
- Attitudes, behaviour and methods need to change to meet the needs of all learners
- Maximising participation of all learners and minimising barriers to learning are essential in all
schools.
Explain why Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model is regarded as a useful tool in the
implementation of Inclusive Education. Refer to any six different systems of the model and
give 2 examples of each system – one with a positive and one with a negative influence on
the learner’s development, participation and learning. (18 marks)
Bronfenbrenner’s model explains that many factors or systems affect the persons learning and
development. These systems exist within each other and affect each other as follows:
Microsystem:
Represents the relationships between the learner and his immediate environment. Example:
family, peers, school. These systems contribute positively by giving the child a serving of love
and security. It could have negative effects like child abuse, poverty, rejection, bullying or
negative teachers.
Mesosystem:
Refers to the relationships between the microsystems. The family, school and peer group
interact within one another. A child with lack of support at home could have a loving supportive
teacher who can guide the parents on how to support their child.
Exosystem:
, Represents systems with an indirect influence on learner development. Example: parent
workplace, educational system, health services. If the parent is employed and can care for the
child financially it will have a positive impact, however if the parent is unemployed and the
family struggles financially and the parent is unable to provide for the child; the child will be
negatively impacted.
Macrosystem:
Represents the broader community. Includes systems like political, health issues, criminal
activity, etc. In wealthy communities, systems are in place for example: hospitals, security,
schooling etc. However, in poorer communities the crime rate is usually higher, medical care
and educational systems are lacking. The lack of support definitely impacts negatively on the
learner.
Most of our learners in schools experience barriers to learning. These learning barriers can
result from either extrinsic or intrinsic factors. To ensure effective implementation of
inclusive education it is therefore important for teachers to be aware of such barriers as well
as strategies to address it. Do you agree with the above-mentioned statement? Elaborate
your answer by:
- Defining the concept “barriers to learning” (2 marks)
The concept barriers to learning is anything that interferes with the learning process, causing
breakdown and exclusion. It can be within the learner, school, education system or a broader
society.
- Mentioning factors that create learning barriers as identified by the National Commission on
Special Needs in Education and the National Committee on Educational Support Service.
(10 marks)
- Factors which place learners at risk
- Language and communication
- Attitudes
- Poverty and underdevelopment
- Inflexible curriculum
- Disability
- Lack of enabling and protective legislation and policy
- Lack of parental recognition and involvement
- Lack of human resource development
- Lack of access to basic services
Child abuse is one of the aspects that is increasing at an alarming rate in several countries. It
is important for teachers to be aware of different types of child abuse in order to ensure their
safety and their effective learning in schools.
- Mention signs that can alert you that a child has been abused. (7 marks)
- A sudden deterioration of schoolwork, unexpected failure and incidents of truancy
- Unusual over-dependence
- Depression
