An appreciation of the social and political contexts of SEN and inclusion in the current teaching methods

Introduction

The development of the concept of people with distinctive education need is very recent. It covers a wide diversification of the student population ranging from different disabilities like physical, sensory, mental, learning difficulties or adaptation; gifted children, sick children, children in difficult family or social situation, and children in prison. In this study, we try to explore the concept of Inclusion and SEN (Special educational need) of children in a holistic context. The study is divided into two parts.

The first part of the research will discuss the key concepts and terminology of Inclusion and SEN (Special educational need) in relation with integration, disability, diversity among the people around the world. Further research would be discussing the development of legislation and policy relating to the education of pupils with SEN. The main aim of these two analyses is to have the clear view on how people with SEN are being treated within the country, and how are their needs beings fulfilled. This research would also identify the barriers faced by pupils with SEN and their families that need to be overcome to enable inclusion. Thus, the first part would cover the basic theoretical researches in holistic form.

The second part of the research has a practical approach, where the main aim is to analyze the practical approached used in the schools and by the teachers in manipulation the activities for these students. Further it would also identify the factors at the schools and at the classroom levels that have contributed to the inclusion of pupils with SEN within the naturalistic settings. Further, the reflective analysis would be presented which would consider my role in including students with SEN, and reflect on how the schools or others in my setting have been able to remove barriers and differentiate task in the classroom to enable the inclusion of students or a group of students. The main focus of the research is on teaching practices implication on students with SEN and inclusions and its relation with theoretical analysis.
