Addressing Tensions and Dilemmas in Inclusive Education: Living with uncertainty
Informacje o e-booku
Referring to existing attitudes on the education of children and young people with learning difficulties and disabilities, Professor Norwich argues that despite the appeal of inclusion as a single powerful position, its practical realisation involves tensions and dilemmas that have to be addressed and resolved. This core analysis is illustrated by a review of relevant national and international concepts, principles, research and practices drawing on literature in areas of current interest and concern, such as:
- identification and classification;
- current national and international conceptions;
- pedagogic and curriculum issues;
- organisation of schooling;
- parental and student perspectives;
- the contribution of research to policy and practice.
Engaging with the fundamental issues in the field and providing a coherent perspective that recognises and justifies the inter-connection between specialised and general school provision, this accessible and timely book will be of interest to all researchers and students of inclusive education.
