Abstract

Conventional lecture-style training ends up being biased toward teaching basic theoretical knowledge, and some issues have been identified. Therefore, it is necessary to construct an effective training system that could be used by in-service teachers in actual teaching practice. This case study relates to the issues encountered in creating individualized teaching plans (ITP) and teaching practices for students with special education needs enrolled in regular schools. This study analyzed 10 cases by using the qualitative data analysis software MAXQDA. Consequently, a more positive and accurate study of the students’ conditions was conducted, and diverse opinions were elicited, including exchanges of relevant information and teaching materials and tools, which enabled the trainees to feel the training effects. In this study, practical and ongoing training was conducted mainly in coordination with university teaching staff specializing in special needs education (SNE). This enabled the trainees and participants to deepen their understanding of students with special education needs and formed the basis of the case studies. The importance of practical learning should be stressed in in-service teacher training and in the pre-service education of teachers in Japan, and school-based experiences should be considered as an addition to the theoretical base of the university training stage.

Abstract

Educating students with various types and degrees of disabilities in regular classrooms remains challenging. Despite the global agenda and push for inclusive education, students with disabilities, particularly those with multiple and severe disabilities, are still being educated in segregated environments. In this qualitative study of peer-reviewed research literature, we aim to understand students with intensive needs (SINs), their current situation in inclusive education systems in developed and developing countries, and the best approaches to how they are being or should be educated in inclusive education systems. The results indicate that students who experience severe challenges in their physical, intellectual, developmental, mental, or emotional capabilities, or a combination of these factors, could be called SINs, as they have a set of significant academic, communication, or behavioral challenges across various domains. Currently, most SINs worldwide spend 20% or more of their educational time outside of the regular school day class. We suggest that utilizing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles as part of the opportunities to learn (OTL) framework and the concept of Communities of Practice (CoP) would be useful in designing an inclusive education model in which SINs will not only be included but also benefit from the curriculum in a regular classroom. Future research should focus on the implementation of suggested inclusive education models for SINs.

Abstract

In this study, we analysed the cognitive abilities that predict reading and writing attainment in the Chinese language for Mandarin-speaking children. A total of 140 Chinese third-graders studying in Ningbo, Zhejiang were evaluated for their visual cognition including visual perception and memory, naming speed, vocabulary knowledge, phonological skills, nonverbal intelligence, and abilities to read and write. The results of multiple regression analyses revealed that word and nonword reading accuracy were predicted to a significant degree by visual memory and phonological awareness, respectively. Naming speed significantly contributed to the reading speeds regarding words, nonwords, and paragraphs. Our results also showed that the scores in word and nonword reading predicted the scores of writing as well. Visual memory and phonological awareness are essential for reading Chinese accurately, while naming speed is an important factor for Chinese reading fluency. The present results have implications regarding the design of useful tasks that screen poor readers of Chinese.
