Book Synopsis Development, Education and Learning Disability in India by : Maya Kalyanpur
Download or read book Development, Education and Learning Disability in India written by Maya Kalyanpur and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses qualitative research methods to examine why students in an Indian context are being identified as having learning disabilities on criteria that are largely drawn from the context of the Global North. It explores the push towards English language instruction as a possible factor that affects poor academic outcomes for students from low-income backgrounds who may be first-generation learners or English language learners. The book contrasts the different outcomes and supports for academically struggling students across low-income and middle-income backgrounds, with evidence to suggest that, despite the inclusionary principles of Education For All, this label is creating a marginalized group of students.

This guide provides an introduction to learning disabilities and describes the processes and practices that are necessary for the identification process. It also describes a phased approach that countries can use to assess their current screening and evaluation services, as well as determine the steps needed to develop, strengthen, and build systems that support students with learning disabilities. This guide also provides intervention recommendations that teachers and school administrators can implement at each phase of system development. Although this guide primarily addresses learning disabilities, the practices, processes, and systems described may be also used to improve the identification of other disabilities commonly encountered in schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents various paradigms and debates on the diverse issues concerning disability in India from a sociological perspective.

It traces the theological history of disability and studies the present-day universalized social notions of disablement.

It will also be useful for educationalists, NGOs, special educators, disability specialists, media and communication professionals, and counsellors.

Book Synopsis The Social Context of Learning in India by : Manoj Kumar Tiwary
Download or read book The Social Context of Learning in India written by Manoj Kumar Tiwary and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are children from disadvantaged and minority communities overrepresented among academic underachievers, poor learners, and school dropouts? This volume engages with this question and examines classroom learning as a process that involves a multitude of actors situated in specific social, cultural, and historical contexts. The volume covers an interdisciplinary spectrum of educational processes, contexts, educational ambitions, and limitations of low-caste, working-class, and middle-class students from different Indian communities and regions. The volume delves into the problem of academic underperformance from a social identity perspective and probes into social context-based variability in classroom learning, systemic disadvantages in the form of negative stereotypes, and the family as an under-studied social group in all discussions of schooling. It also examines the teachers’ perceptions and attitudes towards Adivasi students and other minority groups in primary schools and their effect on children’s classroom engagement. The chapters in this volume provide insights into unresolved and critical research questions that require the attention of teachers, school management, educators, and policymakers alike. This book will also be useful for academicians, policymakers, teacher educators, pedagogic practitioners in India and abroad, and state and central government institutions working on school education, educational psychology, policymaking in education, learning methods, and research on educational enhancement.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Perspectives on Disability in India by : Renu Addlakha
Download or read book Contemporary Perspectives on Disability in India written by Renu Addlakha and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disabled people are more or less absent in everyday life, politics and policy, development, interventions and research in India. Political exclusion and lack of access to basic services like health and education exacerbate the deep-rooted social stigma and cultural marginalisation and devaluation of this oppressed group. the plight of women with disabilities is even worse. It is only now in an era of human rights that their legitimate concerns are being taken up at different levels by the state, civil society, the media and the academy. This process has been acelerated by India's ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Person with Disabilities in 2007. It is the purpose of this collection of papers to present a contemporary perspective on disability from these different vantage points.It is hoped that the juxtaposition of existing laws and ongoing discussions in the judiciary, the media, the academy and the public domain (including the hither-to almost absent voices of persons with disabilities) will shed more light on the intersections between disability, law, gender, reproductive health and sexuality in the Indian context.
Book Synopsis Approaches to Educational and Social Inclusion by : Gajendra K. Verma
Download or read book Approaches to Educational and Social Inclusion written by Gajendra K. Verma and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this insightful text, the editors reflect on contributions from scholars representing Bangladesh, Greece, India, Israel, New Zealand, Switzerland, UK and USA, by showing how the majority of educational and social institutions in both developed and developing countries have failed to overcome the many barriers to an effective integrated system of education, suggesting ways as to how these barriers might be challenged. By looking closely at the overt and covert injuries of educational and social exclusion, a variety of approaches to overcoming the consequences of those challenges is proposed, drawing together strands of social theory, research data and conceptualisations for social action.
Book Synopsis Disability & the Politics of Education by : Susan Lynn Gabel
Download or read book Disability & the Politics of Education written by Susan Lynn Gabel and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disability and the Politics of Education: An International Reader is a rich resource that deals comprehensively with the many aspects of the complex topic of disability studies in education. For nearly two decades, global attention has been given to education as a human right through global initiatives such as Education for All (EFA) and the Salamanca Statement. Yet according to UNESCO, reaching the goals of EFA remains one of the most daunting challenges facing the global community. Today, millions of the world's disabled children cannot obtain a basic childhood education, particularly in countries with limited resources. Even in the wealthiest countries, many disabled children and youth are educationally segregated from the nondisabled, particularly if they are labeled with significant cognitive impairment. International agencies such as the United Nations and the World Bank have generated funds for educational development but, unfortunately, these funds are administered with the assumption that «west is best», thereby urging developing countries to mimic educational policies in the United States and the United Kingdom in order to prove their aid-worthiness. This «McDonaldization» of education reproduces the labeling, resource allocation, and social dynamics long criticized in disability studies. The authors in this volume explore these subjects and other complexities of disability and the politics of education. In doing so, they demonstrate the importance and usefulness of international perspectives and comparative approaches.
