The purpose of having inclusive education is to value children with special needs so they can participate equally in all educational activities alongside their peers without special needs. There should not be any discrimination, segregation or isolation of these children with special needs from being educated rather they must be given an equal opportunity to participate alongside children without special needs. This study seeks to investigate primary school teachers' views and experiences in implementing the Inclusive Education Policy in regular schools. The study was conducted in five districts of the Enga Province of Papua New Guinea. Six primary schools were selected and involved 77 teachers who responded to questionnaire items, while 12 teachers within the group were chosen to be involved in interviews. Data for the study were gathered and analysed from the questionnaires, and the interview transcripts. The findings from the study revealed that most teachers supported the notion of Inclusive Education Policy and would like to implement it. However, they indicated that there needed to be a change in attitudes of teachers, peers, boards of management, and parents/caregivers to provide assistance for children with special needs. Most teachers felt that there needs to be more awareness of the principle and the importance of inclusion. Teachers' limited knowledge of teaching children with special needs was also highlighted. In this study teachers admitted they needed more training in the field of educating children with special education in order to accommodate and teach children with special needs. This shows that teachers' colleges and universities need to have trained lecturers to develop more courses in special education. Teachers expressed concern that school inspectors do not know enough about the inclusive education concept and need to be trained as well so collaboratively they could implement the policy. Government support is needed to effectively implement the inclusive education policy. This includes training of specialists to support teachers, funds for teaching and learning resources and facilities in schools. The cultural implications and geographical issues have also had some impact on the implementation of the Inclusive Education Policy, while the issue of children with HIV and AIDS was raised that teachers needed to be prepared in order to accommodate and teach those infected children. All these issues highlighted are very important and it is hoped that the outcome of the findings will provide the Department of Education with new strategies to improve and strengthen their commitment to implement Inclusive Education Policy.

Mais especificamente, analisa como professores utilizam a linguagem para comunicar-se com seus alunos durante as aulas. Inicialmente são expostas nossas intenções e a leitura de algumas produções em Educação Matemática que se aproximam de nossa proposta. Em seguida, apresentamos os dois aportes teóricos que dão sustentação ao nosso trabalho, o Modelo dos Campos Semânticos e os Jogos de linguagem de Wittgenstein, apresentando cada um deles separadamente para considerar, posteriormente, seus pontos de aproximação e distanciamento. As filmagens nas salas de aula de dois professores foram transformadas em clipes que, transcritos, nos ajudaram a organizar os dados por nós constituídos para esta pesquisa. Com a análise desses dados, a partir dos aportes teóricos adotados, foi possível elencar "eventos" que caracterizam alguns usos da linguagem e, por fim, são fundamentais para constituir nosso mapa como um jogo de linguagem da sala de aula de matemática. / Abstract: This work has as its main intention build a map on how language is used in Math classrooms, specifically we try to understand how teachers use language in order to share meanings with their students. Initially we present our main intentions, summarizing some researches close to our purposes. The two theoretical framework which give support to our study - the Model of Semantic Fields and the Wittgenteiniam "games of language" - are then presented and discussed in their similarities and distinctions. Some classrooms activities of two teachers were recorded and turned in "clips". The clips were transcribed it help us to organize the data for our research. Data analysis - developed according to our theoretical framework - allowed us to build the so-called "events", sketching a mapping on how language can be used in math classrooms. / Mestre

This collective case study explores the nature of the relationship between teachers’ use of culturally responsive teaching (CRT) practices and students’ engagement in constructing viable arguments and critiquing the reasoning of others (SMP3). This study was informed by the Common Core State Standards Initiative related to developing mathematically proficient students through the use of student engagement practices consistent with the standards for mathematical practice. As a means to support teachers’ facilitating specific student engagement practices, professional development was provided. This study is situated in the growing body of research associated with student engagement and cultural identity. The case of two teachers was defined from interviews, classroom observations, journal prompts, and student artifacts. Data was collected before, during, and after professional development following a cross-case analysis. Four themes emerged: (a) shift in teacher practice; (b) depth and breadth of the knowledge of culturally responsive teaching and standard for mathematical practice three; (c) teacher reflection and reception; and (d) classroom management. The findings suggest that the shift in teacher practice can be supported by professional development focused on reflective practice. This shift is impacted by classroom management and teachers’ depth and breadth of their knowledge of CRT and SMP3.
