Study Notes
Special Education
- Special Education (SpEd) involves tailored classes for students with disabilities, giftedness, and talents to address diverse educational needs.
- Individualized Education Plans (IEP) are created for each learner, detailing specific strengths, limitations, and required services to foster development.
- Terminology varies, with terms like Learners with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and Children with Special Needs (CSN); however, "Learners with Disabilities" (LWD) is preferred to uphold rights.
Inclusive Education
- Inclusive Education (IE) promotes the right to education by integrating all learners, respecting their unique needs, and combating discrimination.
- It strengthens education systems to engage every learner and addresses barriers that hinder participation and achievement.
- Highlights of inclusive education include a learner-centered, culturally relevant, and gender-responsive curriculum as per the 2019 DepEd Order 21.
Differences Between Inclusive and Special Education
- Inclusive Education places all learners together in mainstream settings, allowing for adaptations to accommodate various needs.
- Special Education focuses on segregated classes for learners with specific conditions, using a specialized curriculum aligned with individual abilities.
- General educators often oversee inclusive classrooms with support from special education teachers or shadow teachers, contrasting with special educators who focus solely on learners with disabilities or giftedness.
Related Concepts: Mainstreaming and Integration
- Mainstreaming: Involves educating students with challenges in regular classes to the fullest extent possible, based on their skills.
- Integration: Provides physical space (like special and pull-out classrooms) for diverse learners but does not inherently foster the same level of inclusion as mainstreaming.
Equity vs. Equality in Education
- Equality is providing the same support to all students, assuming uniform needs; this approach may overlook individual learner differences.
- Equity, however, seeks to tailor support based on each learner’s specific situation and needs, ensuring fair access to education.
Strategies for Inclusive Education
- Accommodations involve altering how learners access the curriculum, allowing them to meet the same standards as peers.
- Modifications change what is taught or expected from students, adjusting learning outcomes to fit individual capabilities.
Disability Overview
- Approximately 15% of the global population experiences a disability, with around 100 million facing significant challenges in daily activities.
- The concepts of disability and impairment are often conflated, leading to misunderstandings about needs and rights.
Disability Models
- Medical Model: Sees disability as a defect residing within the individual, requiring cures or rehabilitation. It focuses on fixing the individual rather than societal change.
- Social Model: Views disability as a construct of societal barriers that limit participation; advocates for systemic change rather than individual adjustment.
Promoting Non-discriminatory Practices
- Pre-service teachers are encouraged to promote inclusivity by avoiding discriminatory language and behavior towards learners with disabilities.
- Sensitivity in language and actions is vital to ensuring that all students feel included and respected in the educational environment.
