Measuring the Impact of Capacity Building Workshops for Ensuring Inclusive Education Practices Using Kirkpatrick's Evaluation Model in Sindh, Pakistan

Abstract

The study examines the failure of implementing inclusive education programs in Sindh province schools. It developed a unique training scheme for special and general education teachers, incorporating learning modules, instructional resources, and a virtual platform. The project was initiated in 2022, and 423 participants were trained in inclusive education practices. The study found that competency-based inclusive education workshops significantly boost teachers' positive attitudes towards inclusive education, confirming previous findings on integrating students with disabilities into mainstream classrooms. The study emphasizes the importance of continuous professional development for teachers in the face of rapid technological advancements.
