Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Disabilities Education Act was introduced in June, 1997 in the Turkish Education System. The Act states that schools have a duty to educate children with disabilities in general education classrooms. All children with disabilities should be educated with non-disabled children at their own age and have access to the general education curriculum. The philosophy of inclusive education aims at helping all children learn in regular classrooms. Children learn at their own pace and style within a nurturing learning environment because schools are important places for children to develop friendships and learn social skills. Children with and without disabilities learn together and from each other in inclusive classes. On the other hand, when children attend classes that reflect the similarities and differences of people in the real world, they learn to appreciate diversity. The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions of teachers about implementation of inclusive education in elementary schools. In order to collect data for this study, a questionnaire which consisted of eight open-ended questions was developed and administered to 66 elementary school teachers. The teachers worked at primary schools and taught 1-5 grades. They were asked to write their opinions and experiences about the implementation of inclusive education in the elementary schools. Primary school teachers generally have a positive attitude about inclusive education and its philosophical and psychological foundation. However, they express that they encounter some difficulties in implementing inclusive classrooms. A crowded classroom is a main obstacle to obtain desired objectives in educational activities. The levels of students' disability are related to effectiveness of classroom management. The effectiveness of inclusive education depends on not only the teachers' quality but also the school administrators'. Some superintendents assess the effectiveness of teachers in inclusive and regular classrooms in the same way. [This study was supported by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK).] (Contains 8 tables.).
Book Synopsis Beginning Elementary Education Teachers' Perceptions Concerning Teaching in Inclusive Classrooms by : Marva Satterfield Miller

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.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher perceptions of inclusive education can have a significant impact on the educational opportunities for students with disabilities. Teacher perceptions will ultimately affect the manner in which teachers teach students with disabilities in their classrooms, namely, the way in which teachers offer the appropriate instruction for this population. This phenomenological study focused on general education teacher perceptions’ of inclusive education in Trinidad and Tobago. Research on inclusive education in Trinidad and Tobago suggested that this country has many challenges in creating a successful inclusive environment for students with disabilities but there has been limited insight into the experiences of teachers in these settings. Through in-depth interviews with ten general education teachers from pre-kindergarten and elementary school in Trinidad and Tobago, more detailed understanding was offered on their perceptions of inclusive education and their beliefs of the challenges that are impacting the current model of inclusive education. Data were transcribed, coded, analyzed, and member checked. Key findings from the data revealed that teachers in this study held positive perceptions of inclusive education but believed that improvement was needed in terms of training, and structure. Further, findings revealed that participants believed that societal constraints, infrastructure, governmental input, parent involvement, and teacher training, parent education and education for everyone on disability significantly impacted successful implementation of inclusive education in Trinidad and Tobago. Implications for policy and future research on inclusive education in Trinidad and Tobago are discussed

This book was released on 2021 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate elementary general education teachers' perceptions of inclusive practices in two suburban school districts in Southeastern Pennsylvania. The researcher analyzed responses from 36 elementary general education teachers in two suburban school districts. The participants completed a researcher designed survey constructed of both Likert-style statements and open ended responses. Individual interviews with five participants provided insight into interviewees' perspectives on inclusive practices. Findings affirmed that general education teachers perceived themselves as responsible for the instruction of special education students when included in classrooms, as well as implementing accommodations and modifications of instructional content and the SDI in each student's IEP.Data demonstrated that special education teachers are responsible for the IEP development, however, there was data to suggest that general education teachers want more involvement in developing the IEP. Fidings identified that participants perceived a need for professional development, shared planning time, collaborative partnerships, additional staffing, and administrative support in order to successfully implement inclusion. Data supported that teachers are confident when instructing students with needs related to a specific learning disability, an intellectual disability, or high functioning autism. However, teachers did not perceive themselves as confident when instructing students with special education needs related to attention, focus, or behavior issues. The findings could potentially aid school administrators in identifying professional development initiatives and additional support structures to further enhance collaborative partnerships to best scaffold teams when including special education students in the general education classroom.

Book Synopsis Teachers Perceptions and Attitudes on Implementing Inclusive Education by : Kedir Ali Kediro
Download or read book Teachers Perceptions and Attitudes on Implementing Inclusive Education written by Kedir Ali Kediro and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Implementing change as complex as inclusion first of all requires having clear understanding about its concept and aims. Unfortunately understanding about inclusion, despite consensus reached at Salamanca, still varies widely. It is therefore relatively easy to imagine how perceptions and attitudes on inclusion would impact on its implementation and therefore are critical issues to raise in implementing inclusive education. If one does not know clearly what to achieve, it would also follow that one could have difficulty in what it takes to achieve it. This book closely looks at one mainstream school to assess the various views of teachers and how such views have impacted on implementation of inclusive education within the school. It demonstrates clearly what was available and what was lacking as a result of the then existing perceptions and attitudes in terms of policy, planning, management, professional development and other support system to realize inclusion.

Book Synopsis Full Inclusion by : Shanda M. Carrasco
Download or read book Full Inclusion written by Shanda M. Carrasco and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Individuals with Disability Education Act (IDEA) states that students with special needs should be educated to the maximum extent possible in the general education setting. Full inclusion practices allow students with special needs to be educated in the general education setting while receiving services for their unique needs. This study aimed to determine if general education teachers held negative perceptions toward full-inclusion practices and students with special needs. Furthermore, the study aimed to discover if there was a correlation between general education teachers' negative perceptions and the implementation of full inclusion practices. Through a Likert scale survey, current K-12 general education teachers across the United States rated 10 perception statements regarding their feelings towards full inclusion and students with special needs. The data indicated that the overall average score for respondents was in the neutral to slightly positive range. For perception statements regarding special needs students specifically, the average overall score fell more in the positive range; however, the average overall scores were negative when viewing perception statements regarding full inclusion practices. General education teachers who teach full inclusion were found to have the most positive perceptions toward full inclusion practices and students with special needs. General education teachers with full inclusion practices on their campuses had the next highest rate of positive perceptions. In contrast, general education teachers who did not work on inclusion campuses or in inclusive classrooms held the most negative perceptions. The data implies that the more exposure teachers have to full inclusion practices and students with special needs, the more positive their perceptions. It can also be assumed that full inclusion practices cannot be successfully implemented while general education teachers hold negative perceptions towards full inclusion and students with special needs.

"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.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the prior knowledge, perceptions and practices of elementary school teachers in creating inclusive classrooms that support children of all genders and gender identities. Additionally, this study sought to determine what supports or resources teachers found useful in creating these gender inclusive learning environments, or what supports or resources teachers believe could help them in the future. The study employed qualitative research methodology, through in-depth interviews of nine elementary teachers, followed by the use of grounded theory to identify common themes. The results indicated that teachers have a desire to employ inclusive classroom practices, however they need training and professional development to better prepare them to meet the needs of all students. These results can be used to guide school districts, school administrators, and educators as to best practices for creating gender inclusive learning environments.
