Readiness for inclusive education in Slovakia based on pre-primary teachers’ self-efficacy

ABSTRACT The issue of self-efficacy in pre-primary education has gained significant attention in Slovakia in recent years. This study investigated the perception of professional competence among female preschool teachers in Slovakia, focusing on their self-efficacy towards inclusive education. The study aimed to understand teacher’s self-efficacy as a key factor for successful inclusive education implementation in Slovakia. Using the modified Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices scale, we found that Slovak teachers felt confident and possessed the necessary professional skills for working with children in inclusive classrooms. However, owing to the selective education system in Slovakia, they had limited opportunities to apply these skills in practice. The findings highlighted flaws in the perceived professional self-efficacy of pre-primary teachers, revealing areas of professional competencies where teachers lacked confidence. Notably, their lowest confidence was in designing learning tasks tailored to the individual needs of children, especially those with disabilities.

Students with special educational needs in regular classrooms and their peer effects on learning achievement

This study explores the impact of inclusive education on the educational outcomes of students without Special Educational Needs (non-SEN) in Peru, utilizing official Ministry of Education data and implementing cross-sectional regression analyses. Inclusive education is a complex issue that, without appropriate adaptations and comprehensive understanding, can present substantial challenges to the educational community. While prior research from developed nations offers diverse perspectives on the effects of inclusive education on non-SEN students, limited evidence exists regarding its impact in developing countries. Our study addresses this gap by examining inclusive education in Peru and its influence on non-SEN students, thereby contributing to the existing literature. Our findings reveal that, on average, the presence of SEN students in regular classrooms does not significantly affect their non-SEN counterparts. However, we uncover heterogeneous results contingent on the specific type of SEN and students’ academic placement. These results emphasize the importance of targeted resources and parental involvement in facilitating successful inclusive education, particularly for specific SEN types. In summary, this study underscores the need for tailored strategies and additional resources to foster the success of inclusive education and calls for further research in this field to expand our understanding and enhance educational policy.

Educational inclusion of deaf children: current policy, practices, and future possibilities.

This paper examines policies and practices of inclusive education for young deaf children in Ghana. Though existing Government policy promotes the principles and implementation of educational inclusion of all children in Ghana, caregivers often encounter significant challenges ensuring access to early years' education for their deaf children. We used Bronfenbrenner's (2005) bioecological systems theory and interviewed 15 educators of deaf children and 9 hearing-health clinicians, to capture different knowledge, experience, and perspectives on policy, practice, and inclusive approaches to deaf children's education. We ask: (a) How do teachers, clinicians, and caregivers connect to promote early childhood care education (ECCE) for young deaf preschoolers in Ghana? and (b) What resources and precarities are available to educators of deaf children and hearing-health clinicians in sustaining inclusive educational practices across urban and rural contexts in Ghana? We address these unanswered questions about the potential pathway to bring about changes in policy and practice in promoting successful inclusive education for deaf children in Ghana. Implications for national and international policy and practice of ECCE for deaf children are discussed and recommendations are made.

Suggestions for Successful Inclusive Education of Hearing-Impaired Students through Qualitative Analysis

The purpose of present study was to provide suggestions for successful inclusive education of students with hearing impairments. We conducted focus group interviews involving five adults with congenital hearing loss who had received the inclusive education and five mothers of children with hearing impairments who are currently in the mainstream education setting. The data were explored by using the phenomenological analysis method in terms of three categories: the reasons for choosing mainstream schools, experimences with teachters and classmantes, and future directions for achieving successful inclusive education. Based on the analysis of interview, the choice of mainstream inclusive schools was motivated by the desire to use oral communication and interact with non-disabled peers. The experiences with peers and teachers at the mainstream schools were generally positive. In addition, students with hearing impairments expressed a preference for education that focuses more on understanding their shared disabilities with their friends at school, rather than general information about disabilities. The current results suggest that future studies should investigate peer relationships within the schools and explore educational policies related to the hearing impairment.

Early Childhood Teachers' Perspective on The Implementation of Inclusive Education

<table class="2" width="519" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="519"><p><em>The purpose of the study was to determine the views of early chilhood teachers and their preparation in implementing inclusive education in the city of Salatiga. This research method uses descriptive qualitative and field research. Data were obtained through interviews and questionnaires from early chilhood teachers in Salatiga City. The collected data is followed up with data reduction, data display and drawing conclusions. The results show that not all early chilhood teachers understand that Salatiga has declared itself as an inclusive city since 2012. The research data shows that some early chilhood teachers understand about inclusive education but they are not ready to accept children with special needs because they feel incapable in providing services, facilities, have special teachers for children with special needs, and do not yet have an inclusive curriculum so they are afraid that it will make the child's situation worse. The preparations needed by early chilhood teachers to implement PAUD inclusive schools are preparing facilities and infrastructure for learning for both children with special needs and normal children, preparing mature programs through mature inclusion curricula, preparing special teachers such as psychologists/special therapists and equipping teachers and parents in receiving and handling children with special needs through training activities. The success of inclusive education apart from the readiness of educational institutions is to change the public's understanding of children with special needs, children with special needs have the same rights as normal children so it is necessary to build cooperation with parents and the community to learn together to build inclusive schools.</em></p></td></tr></tbody></table>

Challenges Of a Hard of Hearing Learner in Online Language Education

While inclusive education (IE) is embraced at the conceptual level and desired at the classroom level, successful IE implementation remains highly complex. COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) outbreak which necessitated a quick switch to remote instruction made IE even harder to put into practice. Despite several studies regarding inclusion during face-to-face education, there has been quite limited research on online education and inclusive practices. This exploratory case study of qualitative nature took place at a state university in the southeast of Turkey with three participants: a hard of hearing (HH) English as a foreign language learner who is a freshman enrolled at the English Language Education Department and his two instructors. Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews, journals, and narrative reports. Interviews were conducted with the student about the challenges he had and instructors’ practices during distance education, and with instructors about their general opinions towards IE and their online education practices regarding the inclusion of that student. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The analyses of student data revealed one major theme as “rechallenge” of an already challenging life and subthemes as nature of online education, instructors’ practices, delayed/ limited feedback, and lack of interaction. Instructors’ data revealed themes as beliefs and attitudes towards IE and need for training. Findings presented the challenges of online education for a HH pupil with significant implications, suggesting many solutions to the problems HH learners face, and raising public awareness on IE.
