Addressing Tensions and Dilemmas in Inclusive Education
Author: Brahm Norwich
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136309772
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
Based on extensive research, Addressing Tensions and Dilemmas in Inclusive Education presents a contemporary and critical analysis of the interaction between different perspectives and positions in the field of inclusive education. Referring to existing attitudes on the education of children and young people with learning difficulties and disabilities, Professor Norwich argues that despite the appeal of inclusion as a single powerful position, its practical realisation involves tensions and dilemmas that have to be addressed and resolved. This core analysis is illustrated by a review of relevant national and international concepts, principles, research and practices drawing on literature in areas of current interest and concern, such as: identification and classification; current national and international conceptions; pedagogic and curriculum issues; organisation of schooling; parental and student perspectives; the contribution of research to policy and practice. Engaging with the fundamental issues in the field and providing a coherent perspective that recognises and justifies the inter-connection between specialised and general school provision, this accessible and timely book will be of interest to all researchers and students of inclusive education.

Inclusion Matters
Author: World Bank
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464800111
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Social inclusion is on the agenda of governments, policymakers, and nonstate actors around the world. Underpinning this concern is the realization that despite progress on poverty reduction, some people continue to feel left out. This report aims to unpack the concept of social inclusion and understand better how policies can be designed to further inclusion. First, the report offers a definition of social inclusion as the "process of improving the terms for individuals and groups to take part in society." It unpacks different domains of society that excluded groups and individuals are at particular risk of being left out of -- markets, services, and spaces. Second, the report discusses the most important global mega-trends such as migration, climate chnage, and aging of societies, which will impact challenges and opportunities for inclusion. Finally, it argues that despite these challenges, change towards inclusion is possible and offers examples of inclusionary policies.

Leisure experiences, opportunities and contributions to human development
Author: María Jesús Monteagudo
Publisher: Universidad de Deusto
ISBN: 8416982449
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
The new human development paradigm rests on the human and cultural capital of peoples and revolves around the challenge of increasing the well-being and happiness of people. Therefore, leisure understood in today’s societies as one of the key means to feel good, satisfied with life and reaffirmed in the pursuit of a meaning for life, seems to be ultimately called to play a key role in promoting human development processes. The contents of this book are a good proof of it. Each chapter focuses on a different approach, discipline or group and highlights the potential of leisure experiences for human development. This book is an invitation to reflection and thought on issues that, far from being irrelevant, have a bearing on people's future, in terms of happiness, well-being and quality of life. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that future leisure develops under the guidelines of a leisure that contributes to human development.

Teaching Tech Together
Author: Greg Wilson
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000728153
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Hundreds of grassroots groups have sprung up around the world to teach programming, web design, robotics, and other skills outside traditional classrooms. These groups exist so that people don't have to learn these things on their own, but ironically, their founders and instructors are often teaching themselves how to teach. There's a better way. This book presents evidence-based practices that will help you create and deliver lessons that work and build a teaching community around them. Topics include the differences between different kinds of learners, diagnosing and correcting misunderstandings, teaching as a performance art, what motivates and demotivates adult learners, how to be a good ally, fostering a healthy community, getting the word out, and building alliances with like-minded groups. The book includes over a hundred exercises that can be done individually or in groups, over 350 references, and a glossary to help you navigate educational jargon.

Stratification in Higher Education
Author: Yossi Shavit
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 9780804768146
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
The mass expansion of higher education is one of the most important social transformations of the second half of the twentieth century. In this book, scholars from 15 countries, representing Western and Eastern Europe, East Asia, Israel, Australia, and the United States, assess the links between this expansion and inequality in the national context. Contrary to most expectations, the authors show that as access to higher education expands, all social classes benefit. Neither greater diversification nor privatization in higher education results in greater inequality. In some cases, especially where the most advantaged already have significant access to higher education, opportunities increase most for persons from disadvantaged origins. Also, during the late twentieth century, opportunities for women increased faster than those for men. Offering a new spin on conventional wisdom, this book shows how all social classes benefit from the expansion of higher education.

Percepción de estudiantes en situación de discapacidad visual en torno al sistema de inclusión y uso de tiflotecnología en educación superior

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : es
Pages : 0
Book Description
La presente investigación exploró las percepciones de los estudiantes en situación de discapacidad visual respecto de su proceso de inclusión mediado por el uso detiflotecnología en dos instituciones de educación superior pertenecientes al Consejo de Rectores de Universidades Chilenas (en adelante CRUCH). Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a 5 estudiantes de pregrado y 8 titulados en situación de discapacidad visual para indagar sobre su experiencia en inclusión en educación superior y en el uso de herramientas tiflotecnológicas en este proceso. El enfoque metodológico utilizado fue de tipo cualitativo interpretativo, con análisis de datos a través de la Grounded Theory en los niveles de codificación abierta y axial. Tras el estudio, se evidenció la tensión entre los paradigmas de discapacidad médico y social en el proceso de inclusión y cómo se imbrican en las percepciones de la población en estudio hacia el Centro de Apoyo para estudiantes en situación de Discapacidad (en adelante CAEesD), docentes y pares. En cuanto al uso de herramientas tecnológicas diseñadas para discapacidad visual "Tiflotecnología"estas son altamente valoradas, pese a que su función se ve limitada si la tecnología falla o la adaptación del material no cumple con un formato que sea compatible con estas herramientas tecnológicas.
