Research Question
What is the purpose for inclusion classes and what influences do
they have on elementary students and the community?
What the ongoing academic discussion is with regard to the topic
in your discipline?
I am doing a questionnaire with the classroom I am observing,
along with an interview with my clinical instructor.
Many of these question I have asked gave me support to my
research question.
How you are developing an answer to your question
By researching with my classroom, I have developed an accurate
representation of my research question.
- Teacher is giving good answers- Students participated- Finding
articles with great description of the special education inclusion
topic.
THE CLASSROOM ANSWERSRaise your hand if you have ever had a
special needs student in your class.0 out of 20Raise your hand if
you get distracted easily during a test.19 out of 20Raise your hand
if go to a day care.4 out of 20Raise your hand if you wear
glasses.3 out of 20
THE CLINICAL INSTRUCTORS ANSWERSDescribe your experience with an
Individualized Educational Plan.Writing IEPs take many months to
complete the process of completing the paperwork. The process can
take up to one year sometimes to complete.Describe a time you
participated in a Teacher Support Meeting.A student in my class was
having trouble reading orally. We met and bounced ideas off each
other. I was told to work on dolch vocabulary words by have that
student identify them. Then allow him to read sentences that
included words from this list. This all occurred during Tier 1. We
moved to Tier 2 because he was not improving. Now he gets progress
monitored 3 times a week.
The research you have done so far leads you to believe is the
answer to the question a statement of your argument and supporting
evidence.
With the research I have done I have found out that inclusion
classes are real important to student with disabilities. Students
with disabilities learn so much from hearing and seeing general
education students learn. By placing special education students in
a general education environment it gives the special education
student more social skills. The community is becoming more aware
and common with special education students because of inclusion.
Many people in the community has grown up only seeing special needs
students in Wal Mart or out in town because inclusion is a new
adversity in the classroom older people are becoming more and more
aware of inclusion.
Why the question and its answer are important to scholars in
your field.Inclusion also called mainstreaming has become more
popular. I am the first class from Ole Miss that has an endorsement
in Special Education, and I see many other teachers wishing they
had this. By researching this topic, teachers that want to know
more about special education and inclusion can now find out
everything they need. From getting ideas to help students with
special needs to interventions. By improving their behavior and
learning in the general education classroom.
What work remains to be done and/or what questions remain to be
answered as you continue work on the project.
I keep finding an unanswered question about inclusion and that
is why hasnt teachers been more informed on how inclusion works and
the logistics.
I think I need to do more research in finding more academic
voices in my field. It is hard to find academic voices in inclusion
and special education and how it is influencing classrooms
everywhere.
