Book Synopsis "I Get by with a Little Help from My Friends" by : Yael Rachel Shemesh

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to federal law PL-94-142, children with disabilities typically were excluded from regular, mainstream classes. This law emphasized the least restrictive environment since research had shown that all children benefited from inclusive learning environments. In the late 1990s, New Jersey was cited as having too high a proportion of children with disabilities in segregated placements. New Jersey received a State Improvement Grant (SIG) to increase the number of students with disabilities in regular education classes. This dissertation was designed to evaluate one aspect of local school districts' program initiatives to achieve this end: teachers' attitudes and perceptions regarding inclusion. Teachers are responsible for the daily implementation of inclusion practices. Their attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs are crucial for the success of inclusion. Although findings from previous research have indicated that teachers favor inclusion, their willingness to implement inclusive practices depends on the availability of supports and resources, as well as the attitudes of school personnel. A total of 856 general education, special education, and special area teachers from seven districts in New Jersey were surveyed regarding: (a) their attitudes and beliefs about inclusion; (b) their perceived administrative support; (c) their perceived ease in meeting the needs of students with disabilities in their classroom; and (d) the factors that have helped or hindered their ability to include students with disabilities in their classroom. Quantitative (Pearson product-moment correlation, multiple regression, independent samples t test) and qualitative (content analysis) methods were used to analyze the survey data. Special education teachers had more positive attitudes toward inclusion than did general education teachers. Relationships between teachers' attitudes and perceptions, and administrative support were found for general education teachers but not for special education teachers. Years of experience working with students with disabilities did not influence these relationships. Teachers identified training, positive attitudes, and support from colleagues, administrators, and other school personnel as factors facilitating inclusive practices. Barriers to implementation included large class size, insufficient planning time, lack of support from colleagues and school administrators, student behavior and ability, and teachers' negative attitudes. Implications for practice are discussed for administrators and school psychologists.

Book Synopsis Beginning Elementary Education Teachers' Perceptions Concerning Teaching in Inclusive Classrooms by : Marva Satterfield Miller
Download or read book Beginning Elementary Education Teachers' Perceptions Concerning Teaching in Inclusive Classrooms written by Marva Satterfield Miller and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Schools and teachers are increasingly faced with meeting the needs of a diverse student population that can be successful with the general curriculum and prepared for the 21st century. As such, teacher educators assist in meeting this challenge by continuous improvement to teacher education programs preparing teachers to meet the educational needs of all students. The purpose of this study was to examine perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs of beginning elementary education teachers concerning teaching students with disabilities in general education classrooms. A mixed method study was conducted using a three part survey that solicited participant information related to personal demographics, 32 Likert-type scale questions with a certain level of agreement to attitudes, beliefs, preparation, and knowledge of inclusion. In addition, open-ended questions allowed participants to include more in-depth responses to thoughts about their overall experiences, beliefs, and support. The participants were graduates of a southeastern regional university teacher preparation program in elementary education. Demographics of participants indicated that the majority were Caucasian females, worked in general education classes, and were not required to take any special education coursework in their teacher education program. The findings suggested that although a high percentage of beginning elementary education teachers' believe in teaching and including students with disabilities in general education classrooms, many lack the necessary knowledge and skills needed to successfully engage students with disabilities in their classrooms. Findings of this study continue to emphasize the need for beginning general education teachers to receive not only more in-depth preparation at the preservice level, which supports successful transition from preparation to practice, but also increased opportunities for professional development and in-service training on meeting the needs of students with with disabilities. This study may provide a platform supporting positive attitudes towards professional teacher preparation and experiences in teaching students with disabilities in general education classrooms. By helping bridge the gap between preparation and the implementation of effective instructional practices to meet the needs of diverse learners, beginning teachers can be supported by pedagogy and evidence based educational practices learned through teacher education programs."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
Book Synopsis Inclusion, Disability and Culture by : Elsayed Elshabrawy Ahmad Hassanein
Download or read book Inclusion, Disability and Culture written by Elsayed Elshabrawy Ahmad Hassanein and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines some theoretical and empirical aspects about complexities of inclusion, disability and culture. It challenges the globalized technical and reductionist approach of inclusion and argues that concepts of disability and inclusion are culturally constructed. Disability and inclusion are concepts which do not define a global agenda, in the sense that one size fits all. Rather they should be seen as being completely context dependent and that they should be deconstructed with respect to specific cultural contexts, with respects to society, ethics, religion and history. The main argument of the book is that many cultural backgrounds, including Egyptians, have their own long-standing beliefs and practices which do not define or address disability in the same way as western culture. Such cultural differences in understanding disability may lead to different understandings, conceptualizations and practices of inclusion. The book articulates disability and inclusion within a socio-ethical-religious discourse based on the Islamic underpinnings of equality and differences. This discourse enhances and supports the calls for considering inclusion and disability within a cultural model that takes into account the common values about disability in any given context which consequently will affect the way educational provision is provided in that context. Finally, the book challenges the “psychological” concept of “attitude” that has been represented in the literature simply as a matter of acceptance or rejection. Inclusion, Disability and Culture shows that “attitude” is a complex and context-dependent issue that can’t be understood in isolation from the wider context within which such responses were created. Specifically, the role of the social views about disability, religious values, school cultures, educational system and structural and organizational constraints can’t be underestimated in understanding teachers’ attitudes towards a complex issue like inclusion.

Book Synopsis An Investigation of Attitudes and Perceptions of Preservice Teachers Compared to First Year Teachers Toward Inclusion by : Nancy E. Douglas
Download or read book An Investigation of Attitudes and Perceptions of Preservice Teachers Compared to First Year Teachers Toward Inclusion written by Nancy E. Douglas and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade the mandated "push" for full inclusion has changed the dynamics of our general education classrooms to the extent that our general education teachers do not feel adequately prepared to teach. The lack of preparation may affect the pre-service teachers' attitude and perception of students with disabilities in a general education classroom. The limited research in this area prompted this study. The purpose of this quantitative, cross-sectional study was to investigate how the perceptions and attitudes of inclusion and teacher efficacy differ from preservice teacher candidates to first year teachers. Preservice teacher candidates (n=40) and first year teachers (n=51) were students or graduates of one university in southeastern United States. The results were determined by using a variety of statistical testing including a one sample t -test, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and a one-way ANOVA. The findings indicate that preservice teachers and first year teachers believe in having students with disabilities included in their classrooms, but that belief doesn't extend to being able to manage behavior. It also indicated that self-efficacy is consistent in student teacher candidates and first year teachers, but teacher efficacy is higher in student teacher candidates, with teacher efficacy dropping during the first year of teaching.
Book Synopsis Attitudes of General Education Teachers Toward Inclusion Programs by : Lisa Guy-Britt
Download or read book Attitudes of General Education Teachers Toward Inclusion Programs written by Lisa Guy-Britt and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this study was to examine the attitudes held by general education teachers toward inclusion programs. Teachers’ attitudes can impact students’ achievement and the efficacy of programs if teachers’ attitudes result in programs that are not implemented with fidelity. The attitudes held by teachers toward students can impact all levels of learning and even student socialization. The peer-to-peer interactions can be impacted by teachers’ attitudes because teachers control the culture and climate of the class, which impacts the achievement of students. If the general education teacher holds negative attitudes towards inclusion, these negative perceptions can present as inclusion programs being implemented without fidelity. There needs to be teacher “buy in” to implement programs. This would then imply that general education teachers who hold positive attitudes toward inclusion programs have the potential to provide a benefit toward the programs and student achievement. Just as negative attitudes held by teachers can negatively impact student achievement, positive teacher attitudes have the potential to positively benefit student achievement and learning experiences. Since 1975, educational institutions have had to address how best to meet the needs of students with disabilities. These efforts have taken individuals from educating students in a specialized setting solely for students with disabilities. Today, there is a spectrum of settings for students with disabilities that range from self-contained classes comprised solely of students with disabilities to the general education classroom setting. These changes to the educational system were not born from the belief that vulnerable communities should have the same access and rights as all others. Rather, these educational gains were made through legal battles, civil rights actions, and legislation. So, it is under this landscape that a community of people who were once excluded from school and community were able to participate in the public education system. The researcher conducted this quantitative research by the survey method. Analysis of the data determined what prevalent themes emerged from the data and a comparison of the data.
Book Synopsis Reform, Inclusion and Teacher Education by : Christine Forlin
Download or read book Reform, Inclusion and Teacher Education written by Christine Forlin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-06-05 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking book considers current perspectives on special education reform in the Asia-Pacific region. It has a major focus on a new era of special education, and how this relates to education reform towards inclusive education. With major changes being proposed under current educational reform and confusion as to how to instigate these measures, this book provides ways to better prepare teachers. It is helpfully divided into three different sections of education reform: "Education Reform in the Asia-Pacific region" reviews broad trends and issues in special education across the region, including Taiwan, Korea, Australia, India, China and Hong Kong. "Preparing Teachers to work in Inclusive Classrooms" focuses on curricula and pedagogical practices for teacher education. This section considers different approaches to preparing teachers such as cross-categorical, collaborative, innovations, and the impact of teachers’ attitudes, perceptions and concerns on inclusion. "Effective Special & Inclusive Practices" draws upon evidence–based research to provide best practice models to assist in developing inclusive school communities. Each section addresses a list of objectives and questions; suggests best practice pedagogy; and concludes with a support section with useful websites and suggested professional development activities. This book will interest teachers, teacher educators, university lecturers in education and post graduate students.
