Book excerpt: The role of the family in early childhood special education has long been highlighted by researchers. Collaboration between families and professionals is vital to learning, and such efforts are also an integral factor in children's overall development. Some countries have enacted legislation requiring that educators include parents in infant and toddler inclusion and intervention programs. This mixed method study investigated the perceptions of Saudi parents toward collaboration with education professionals in early childhood special education including aspects such as knowledge of collaboration practices, communication, commitment, equality, trust, and respect. A survey of 272 parents of young children with disabilities was conducted. In addition, six parents of young children with disabilities were interviewed about their perceptions and experiences of collaboration to obtain information on their lived experiences.The study found that parents perceive they have some understanding of collaboration practices and that professionals respected parents' cultural values. However, some parents experienced some issues in professionals' communication skills. Some parents stated that they feel professionals have little skills in the areas of commitment, trust, and respect. Parents reported that professionals need more training overall and preparation to implement collaboration more effectively. Based on these findings, several recommendations for future practices and areas of research are provided.
Book Synopsis Mothers' Perceptions of Collaborative Practices with Special Education Professionals in Saudi Arabia by : Hadia Alahmari
Download or read book Mothers' Perceptions of Collaborative Practices with Special Education Professionals in Saudi Arabia written by Hadia Alahmari and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mothers play a crucial role in their children's education especially for children with special education needs (SEN). Specifically, collaborative practices between Saudi mothers with daughters with an intellectual disability (ID), and special education professionals are essential to achieve positive outcomes. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of Saudi mothers with daughters with ID. This study utilized a qualitative design to explore the perspectives of 13 Saudi mothers with school-age daughters with ID regarding their perceptions of practices that enhance or hinder collaboration with special education professionals at the Institute of Intellectual Education for Girls (IIEG) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Mothers were also asked for recommendations to improve collaboration. Semi-structured interviews with 13 Saudi mothers were conducted using Facetime calls and video and phone calls. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, translated, and analyzed to identify themes. Five participants underwent member checks to ensure accuracy of transcripts. They were asked to agree or disagree as well as comment on the findings to increase credibility. Study results indicated that Saudi mothers of daughters with ID perceived a number of factors as necessary for collaboration with special education professionals. Collaboration required communication, relationship-building skills, respect, empathy, trust, commitment, ease of access to special education professionals' contact information, and special education professionals' availability to meet with mothers. Participants also offered ways to overcome challenges and barriers that hinder collaboration with special education professionals. Mothers in the sample emphasized the importance of joint efforts with special education professionals in defining and enhance collaboration. The existing literature confirmed factors identified by mothers (Perceptions and Definitions of collaboration, Factors of Effective Collaboration, and Mothers' Recommendations for Improved Collaboration) are essential role to collaborative practices between parents and special education professionals. In addition, some existing literature disconfirms the results of this study regarding parental participation in the individual educational plan (IEP). Mothers with daughters with ID do not participate in developing their daughters' IEP within the Saudi and IIEG context while it is required and supported in the United States. Findings from this study cannot be generalized to a larger population of Saudi mothers of children with ID due to several characteristics of this sample. For example, data in this qualitative study depends on participants' interpretation of their experiences with a specific institute (IIEG) in a particular city (Jeddah) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Further research is recommended to learn more about collaborative practices between mothers and special education professionals with a focus on generalizability throughout Saudi Arabia.

Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Parents' Future Expectations and Self-determination for Their Child with a Disability in Saudi Arabia by : Abdalmajeed Alrabiah
Download or read book The Relationship Between Parents' Future Expectations and Self-determination for Their Child with a Disability in Saudi Arabia written by Abdalmajeed Alrabiah and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research indicated that individuals with disabilities still experience poor transition to postsecondary outcomes and limited control of their lives compared to their peers without disabilities. The literature consistently linked self-determination to achievement of positive postsecondary outcomes and quality of life. The ecological systems impact the experience of individuals with disabilities and opportunities to develop self-determination. Home and family play an important role in supporting children to develop self-determination. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between some of the contextual factors at home and a child's capacity for self-determination in Saudi Arabia. We surveyed parents of children with disabilities who receive special education services in public schools in Riyadh. The primary purpose was to examine how parents' future expectations of their child and the opportunities for self-determination influence the child's capacity for self-determination. We used regression analyses to examine the influence of the child's and parent demographics on parent perceptions of their child's capacity for self-determination, only the child's disabilities were significantly associated with the child's capacity for self-determination. Parents' future expectations and opportunities for self-determination were significantly associated with the child's capacity for self-determination, and the opportunities for self-determination partially mediated the relationship between the parents' future expectations and the child's capacity for self-determination. The child's gender and disabilities did not moderate the relationship between the parents' future expectations and the child's capacity for self-determination. The findings suggested that parents' future expectations and opportunities for self-determination were more important contextual variables for the child's capacity for self-determination than individual-level factors. Further research is needed to examine other contextual factors that may impact the development of self-determination.

Book Synopsis Teachers' Perceptions and Knowledge Toward Inclusion of Students with Disabilities in Saudi Arabian Schools by : Tassan Mohammed Alsulami
Download or read book Teachers' Perceptions and Knowledge Toward Inclusion of Students with Disabilities in Saudi Arabian Schools written by Tassan Mohammed Alsulami and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusion of students with disabilities is an area of interest for the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Education. Educational policy plays an essential key to provide meaningful inclusion provisions to all types of children for academic and social success, but it is not clear if the policies adequately support inclusive education in Saudi Arabia. Much of that research conducted in the United States has demonstrated that teacher' perceptions and knowledge of inclusion and students with disabilities are the most significant influential factors for implementing effective inclusion practices in inclusive settings. To date, there has been limited research conducted on teacher knowledge and perceptions of inclusion in Saudi Arabia. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate Saudi teachers' perceptions and knowledge about inclusion and students with special needs. A total of 299 general and special education teachers participated in this study. Findings revealed that there was a relatively low level of knowledge about inclusion and students with disabilities among the Saudi Arabian educators. Findings also revealed differences in perceptions by disability category. Saudi Arabian teachers had the most negative perceptions of students with severe intellectual disabilities and the most positive perceptions of students with learning Disabilities. Qualitative analysis revealed that participants had minimal knowledge about evidence-based strategies to teach students with intellectual disabilities in a general education classroom. Implication for practice and research were discussed in this study.

Book Synopsis Parental Participation in the Education of Students with Learning Disabilities in Saudi Arabia by : Mohammad Ahmad Alobaid
Download or read book Parental Participation in the Education of Students with Learning Disabilities in Saudi Arabia written by Mohammad Ahmad Alobaid and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several studies (e.g., Aldaihani, 2011; Al-Zoubi & Abdel Rahman, 2016) have indicated that many educational activities conducted for students with learning disabilities (LD) in Saudi elementary schools have not achieved their educational and social goals due to limited parental participation and lack of cooperation between parents and teachers. Despite the importance of this issue, there was no known ethnographic qualitative study investigating parents’ perceptions and beliefs toward parental participation in their children’s education. The researcher of this critical ethnographic qualitative study conducted interviews in Buraidah, Saudi Arabia with eight parents of elementary students with LD, as well as four observations of the male participants, to describe their experiences, perceptions, challenges, motivations, and solutions for their participation in their children’s education. The study found that participating parents were not involved in developing their children’s academic and social skills; however, seven out of eight did see value in participating. Most participation consisted of intermittent checking of homework and rare contact with the schools through phone calls or visits. Schools rarely contacted parents and did not encourage participation. The findings included several solutions suggested by parents. The most significant solution identified better communication as necessary to encourage parental participation. Additionally, the findings implied that the government needed to do more through funding programs and classrooms, enforcing policies, and educating parents. Finally, the findings implied that parents saw the worth of participation but needed more education on the best ways to get involved and clear communication from schools to encourage them to participate.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the last few decades special education has benefited from the vast revolution of technologies. These technologies have contributed in facilitating cognitive development as well as learning processes for students with disabilities. One of these emerging technologies is the tablet device and its applications. Due to increasing demands to integrate the latest technology into educational settings, previous studies have looked at the potential of adopting tablet devices and their applications as instruction technology tools in special education classrooms. This case study sought to explore male special education teachers' perceptions toward using tablet devices for teaching purposes in Saudi Arabia. The objectives of this case study were 1) explore male special education teachers' perceptions about using tablet devices for teaching purposes. Their perceptions were measured based on eight variables (voluntariness, relative advantage, compatibility, image, ease of use, trialability, result demonstrability, and visibility) derived from Rogers' and Moore and Benbasat's theories; 2) Examine the impact of teachers' characteristics of age, years of teaching experiences, educational background, and school level being taught on their perceptions; 3) Identify obstacles hindering the adoption of tablet devices for teaching purposes; and 4) Explore the roles of school leadership concerning the use of tablet devices inside the school from the perspectives of special education teachers. This case study employed explanatory sequential mixed methods design, which involves two data collection phases (quantitative → qualitative). The quantitative phase is the primary phase followed by qualitative data collection. The purpose of qualitative phase is to provide further explanation regarding phase one results. A total of 175 participants participated in the survey phase. The results showed the overall perceptions had an overall mean of 3.4 and a standard deviation of (SD = 0.47). In addition, the results revealed that the participants had high perceptions concerning perceived relative advantages (M = 4.2), result demonstrability (M = 3.8), and compatibility (M = 3.9) of using tablet devices for teaching purposes. Whereas the participants had neutral perceptions (mean score range between 2.9 to 3.2) concerning the voluntariness, image, ease of use, trialability, and visibility in the use of tablet devices. Regarding the impact of teacher characteristics on their perceptions of using tablet devices, the multiple regression results showed that only two characteristics of male special education teachers significantly impacted their perceptions. The first characteristic was school level at which the teachers taught, which was significantly related to the participants' perceived voluntariness (p = .03) and trialability ( p = .01). The second characteristic, teachers' years of experience, was significantly related to perceived image (p = .04) and compatibility (p = .04). Once phase one was analyzed, a qualitative case study was carried out to provide further explanations of characteristics found to significantly impact the participants' perceptions about the use of tablet devices and their applications for teaching purposes. Furthermore, this phase aimed to explore difficulties hindering the adoption of tablet devices for teaching purposes as well as the roles of school administration in adopting tablet devices. In this phase six participants were selected purposefully based on their age, years of teaching experience, specialty in teaching students with disabilities, and school level at which they taught. A semi-structured interview method was used to collect data. The collected data were analyzed using a coding approach. The results from the data analysis showed that participants' years of teaching experience and school level were critical, if not vital, when it came to the use of tablet devices as an assistive technology tool in special education classrooms. These results also supported the findings that emerged in phase one. The results from the follow-up interviews showed that four major obstacles hindered the adoption of tablet devices in the Saudi special education system. These obstacles are lack of training, class management, shortage of tablet applications in Arabic, and the process being time consuming. Also the results indicated that school leadership did not support the use of tablet devices for teaching purposes due to lack of awareness and funding. Discussions, implications, limitations of this study as well as recommendations for future research are discussed in depth in Chapter 5.

Book Synopsis Reforming Saudi Early Childhood Education by : Ghadah Alsedrani

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this dissertation study is to describe, explain, and analyze teachers', supervisors', and educational administrators' perspectives, or self-reported opinions, regarding their current practices and policies of Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Saudi Arabia (SA), and the challenges and the benefits of adopting the Reggio Emilia approach (REA) into early childhood institutions in SA. ECE faces many challenges in SA, such as: the traditional role of the teachers, a standard curriculum that is planned in advance, lack of collaboration with families, centralized education management, and the image of the child as passive learner (Metwaly, 2007). With these in mind, I argued that implementing the REA in Saudi kindergartens in a way that suits the social, culture, and religious context may help overcome some of the challenges that are confronting ECE in SA today. Three theoretical frameworks guided this study: social constructivist theory, the community of collaboration perspective, and the theoretical foundation of ECE in SA. The social constructivist theory and community of collaboration perspective offered a comprehensive understanding of the RE philosophy and its core principles by explaining how children learn and the critical importance of community collaboration. In addition, examining the theoretical foundations of ECE in SA guided my understanding of current Saudi ECE practices and policies. This study used in-depth interviews to explore and analyze ECE teachers', supervisors', and educational provincial administrators' perspectives in Riyadh about the potential benefits and challenges of implementing the REA into the Saudi ECE context. Audiotapes and transcriptions from individual interviews with participants were used as data sources, along with documents and analytic memos. Data were analyzed using the constant comparative analysis approach; this can provide opportunities to explore the participants' opinions about the likelihood of implementing the REA, what it would take to adopt it if possible, and how it could be modified to fit the social, cultural, and religious context in SA."--Pages ix-x.
