Inclusão escolar e autismo: A importância da colaboração familiar para o suporte aos alunos autistas

The research investigates the importance of family collaboration in the school inclusion of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The objective was to understand how family support can facilitate the adaptation of these students to the school environment. Using a literature review methodology on the SciELO, Web Of Science and Google Scholar platforms, the research revealed that the active involvement of families is essential for the personalization of teaching and the creation of a more inclusive learning environment. The results showed that the families' knowledge about the needs and preferences of autistic students helps in the adaptation of pedagogical strategies and promotes greater consistency between what is taught at school and practiced at home. In addition, open communication between parents and educators is crucial for identifying challenges and developing joint solutions, positively impacting students' emotional well-being and their motivation to learn. The research concludes that family collaboration is an essential pillar for a more effective and inclusive education, benefiting both students and the school community by promoting a more understanding and respectful approach to ASD.

Iklim sekolah dan perilaku prososial siswa reguler di sekolah inklusif: Bagaimana peran identitas moral sebagai mediator?

Previous studies have emphasized the influence of the school environment on students' prosocial behavior. However, few studies still concentrate on alternative mechanisms that contribute to developing students' prosocial behavior. This study aimed to investigate how moral identity plays a role as a mediator in the relationship between school climate and students' prosocial behavior in inclusive schools. A cluster random sampling technique was used to select participants. This study included 872 children attending inclusive schools in Surabaya City. The research instrument used a scale of moral identity (α=0.918), prosocial behavior (0.740), and school climate (0.889). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The study's findings indicate a positive relationship between the overall school climate and the tendency of regular students in inclusive schools to engage in prosocial activities. This relationship is influenced by the role of moral identity as a mediator. These findings enhance our understanding of the importance of moral identity and have practical implications for intervention programs aimed at improving prosocial behavior among regular students in inclusive schools.

Exploring the Impact of Attachment to School Counselors on Moral Emotion Development in Slow Learners: A Case Study in Central Java Inclusive Schools

Emotion becomes an integral part that derives children's moral behavior. Moral emotion controls moral transgression by making children aware of the consequences of their actions. However, not all children can control their emotions, e.g., slow learners. The slow learners in this study are students in inclusive schools in Central Java. Their status as inclusive students resulted in feelings of alienation, even bullying. One factor affecting moral emotions is children's attachment to attachment figures, including school counselors. This study aims to determine the attachment pattern between slow learners and school counselors in developing moral emotions. This research used a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data was collected by interviews, direct observations, focused group discussions (FGD), and documentation. The results showed that the level of slow learners‘ attachment security was affected by school counselors‘ affection, responsiveness, sensitivity, and availability, both physically and emotionally. Higher security slow learners demonstrated higher trust and disclosure, and are emotionally attached to school counselors compared to those with lower security. On the other hand, attachment is associated with moral emotions of shame, guilt, and righteous anger but is not significantly associated with empathy. The findings are expected to increase awareness of school counselors in showing support and affection toward slow learners in inclusive schools, especially while providing services to fulfill guidance and counseling functions of understanding, development, and prevention.

Inclusive education is a process of responding to the diverse needs of all students. Various efforts can be made through changes and modifications in content, approaches, structures and strategies that can accommodate the needs of all students according to their age group. Implementing inclusive education requires schools to make adjustments in terms of curriculum, educational infrastructure and learning systems that are tailored to the individual needs of students, including assessing learning outcomes and determining grade promotion. The diversity of characteristics of students in inclusive schools certainly opens up opportunities for a very varied learning outcomes assessment system in determining grade promotion. The assessment system for learning outcomes for children with special needs has so far been the same as for other students. The assessment system commonly used in determining grade promotion for students in inclusive schools is based on the achievement of mental skills.

Reliability Testing of the Reasonable Adjustments for Inclusive Education Rating Scale

ABSTRACT School inclusion of students with disabilities relies on reasonable adjustments to curriculum and class activities. The Reasonable Adjustments for Inclusive Education (RAIE) was designed to elicit reasonable adjustments from stakeholders in mainstream school inclusion for three contrived students with varied learning needs. We evaluated a scale for rating the quality of elicited reasonable adjustments across five dimensions: Agency, Authenticity, Real Learning, Strengths Based, and Inclusion. A trial (n = 5 participants) led to refinement of the scale, which was tested for inter-rater reliability with data from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of an intervention to improve the quality of reasonable adjustments. RCT participants (10 parents, 10 educators, nine allied health professionals) provided 596 reasonable adjustments, rated for each dimension by two independent raters (n = 2980 ratings). Overall agreement was 75.3%; intraclass correlation (ICC) was .778. ICCs were moderate-good (.612–.816). Further refinement and testing with multiple raters are recommended.

The relative significance of contextual, process and individual factors in the impact of learning and support assistants on the inclusion of students with SEN

ABSTRACT International discussion on inclusive education has managed to identify various contextual, process and individual factors having an impact on implementation. In addition, learning and support assistants (LSAs) have been found to be a key element in enhancing participation and learning for all students in inclusive schools. The present cross-sectional study explored the impact of assistance services on the implementation of inclusive education from the perspective of 89 Styrian LSAs and, moreover, which contextual, process and individual factors are related to their impact. The results demonstrate that assistance services are perceived as being an effective resource for the successful inclusion of students with SEN, particularly regarding their participation in field trips and their class participation. Furthermore, individual LSA characteristics were found to be crucial for inclusion success. LSAs’ with higher self-efficacy or those with more comprehensive professional knowledge see their impact on the implementation of inclusive education as being more effective. Our findings highlight the value of assistance services in inclusive education and provide unique insights into aspects necessary for success. The need to promote greater professionalisation among LSAs is one key finding.
