111	Learner support to foundation phase learners who are intellectually impaired : a case study Erradu, Jordan 03 1900 (has links) Since 1994, the South African education system has undergone a number of paradigm shifts culminating in the implementation of the policy of Inclusive Education as highlighted in Education White Paper 6: Building an Inclusive Education and Training System. The purpose of this research was to explore how foundation phase learners who experience severe intellectual barriers to learning are provided with high levels of support at special schools in the Pietermaritzburg district. A case study design was embarked upon as this allowed for an in-depth exploration of the above research question. Three special schools in the Pietermaritzburg district that cater for learners who experience severe intellectual barriers to learning were chosen for this investigation. Quantitative and qualitative research methods, consisting of questionnaires, interviews and observation were utilised. The findings reveal that educators at these schools do provide high levels of support to foundation phase learners who experience severe intellectual barriers to learning. / Inclusive Education / M.

Studien ingår i forskningsprojektet From Salamanca to PISA. The professionalizations of special needs educators since 1990 from a comparative perspective. Projektet bedrivs i Stockholms universitets regi, lett av Wieland Wermke och Gabriella Höstfält. Arbetet bygger på en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av artiklar från fackliga tidskrifter. Det empiriska materialet utgörs dels av artiklar i Lärarförbundets tidskrifter Specialpedagogen och Specialpedagogik och dels av Carlbeck-kommitténs del-, och slutbetänkande. I arbetets historiska bakgrund och forskningsöversikt identifieras två historiska spår gällande synen på organisation av undervisning för elever med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning. Arbetets resultat påvisar att dessa historiska spår även fortlöper under den studerade tidsperioden. Vidare visar resultatet en tydlig avsaknad av engagemang i frågan om skolformens existens från professionen och fackliga företrädare. Möjliga orsaker till detta presenteras i diskussionsdelen. Studiens resultat indikerar hur särskolan blivit en säkerhetsventil för att avlasta den starkare målstyrda grundskolan. En av de slutsatser som framkommer i arbetets diskussion är att Carlbeck-kommitténs arbete utgjorde ett försök att föra samman Salamancadeklarationens tanke om en skola för alla med PISA:s mer målinriktade intention. / The aim of this study is to develop knowledge of how the discussions about the abolition or retention of special school in relation to the Carlbeck Committee have been conducted in the Swedish Teachers' Association's (LF) magazines. The study is part of the research project From Salamanca to PISA. The professionalizations of special needs educators since 1990 from a comparative perspective . The project is run under the auspices of Stockholm University, led by Wieland Wermke and Gabriella Höstfält. This study is based on a qualitative content analysis of articles from LF member magazines. The empirical material consists partly of articles in LF member magazines Specialpedagogen and Specialpedagogik and partly of the Carlbeck Committee's partial and final report. In this study's historical background and research overview, two historical traces are identified regarding the view of the organization of teaching for students with intellectual disabilities. The results of the study show that these historical traces also continue during the studied period. Furthermore, the results show a clear lack of commitment to the issue of the existence of special schools for students with intellectual disability from the profession and union representatives. Possible reasons for this are presented in the discussion section. The results of the study indicate how the special school has become a safety valve to relieve the stronger goal-oriented primary school. One of the conclusions that emerges in the discussion of the work is that the work of the Carlbeck Committee was an attempt to bring together the Salamanca declaration's idea of a school for all with PISA's more goal-oriented intention. / From Salamanca to PISA.

113	An exploratory study of the incorporation of their 'future-self' as part of transition preparation in to and out of further education for young people with learning disabilities Parry, Melissa Louise January 2016 (has links) This research explored the perception of the incorporation of ‘future-self’ for young people (YP) moving from specialist provision for children where the Local Authority have identified the provision as Moderate Learning Difficulties and additional needs, their parent/carers views, and the perspectives of professionals supporting their transition to mainstream further education. The ‘future-self’ approach had its basis in social cognitive theory, as the creation of imagined ‘future-selves’ is thought to influence an individual’s behaviour to aid them to work towards their aspired self (Baker, 2015; Markus & Nurius, 1986; Oysterman & James, 2011). Phase one used a case study methodology using semi-structured interviews to explore the YP and their parent/carer’s experience of transition planning having included the young person’s vision of their ‘future-self’, at aged 16. Materials were designed to aid their understanding using visual support. Phase two gained the views of YP using focus groups as they approach transition out of FE at aged 19 or older into continued training, employment, and on towards adulthood, in relation to inclusion of their vision of their ‘future-self’ in this preparation. This phase also explored the perceptions of the professionals for incorporating the young person’s view of their ‘future-self’ using semi-structured interviews. Interview transcripts were analysed using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six stage thematic analysis to identify themes in the data. Focus groups were thematically analysed using Ritchie and Spencer’s (1994) five stage analysis. A number of themes were found for the YP at both stages, the parents/carers and the professionals. Findings indicated that the YP are more involved in the transition planning and a range of methods are applied to prepare the YP however there are a number of barriers still limiting the options for the YP such as: lack of choice available, protectiveness of others, low aspirations, failure to explore holistic longer term outcomes, insufficient multi-agency involvement, overreliance on parents, and the need for more effective strategic planning and awareness of the systems around the YP. The findings from this research indicate that applying a ‘future-selves’ approach for YP as a method to generate future aspirations to motivate YP’s behaviour has been effective as a tool to add to existing transition preparations. This could act as a way to overcome the currently existing poorer long term outcomes for YP with this population. Based upon this small scale project, further investigation would be required to assess the benefit for a wider population. 371.9
114	Lärplattan spelar roll för elever i grundsärskolan Talén, Jimmy, Jensen, Benny January 2015 (has links) AbstractProblemområdeFlertalet elever med diagnos utvecklingsstörning som är mottagna i grundsärskolan är i behov av stöd i lärande och kommunikationen med andra människor. Hjälpmedlen kan vara av olika slag bland annat i form av en lärplatta. Hur upplever elever, tolv till femton års ålder, i grundsärskolan interaktionen i mötet och sitt lärande vid teknikanvändning av lärplattor med mobila applikationer i klassrummet?SyfteStudiens syfte är att delge tankar och erfarenheter ur ett elevperspektiv gällande interaktionen i mötet samt elevens uppfattning om lärande vid användande av mobila applikationer i sin lärplatta. Frågeställningarna var följande:När används mobila applikationer av eleven i klassrummet?På vilket sätt upplever eleven mötet med klasskamrater vid användning av lärplattans mobila applikationer i klassrummet?På vilket sätt upplever eleven lärande i klassrummet i det digitala mötet vid användning av lärplattans mobila applikationer?Teoretisk ramStudien utgår från både Erving Goffmans dramaturgiska perspektiv på social interaktion och Lev S. Vygotskys sociokulturella perspektiv på idéer om mänsklig utveckling. Inom den sociokulturella teoriramen diskuteras artefaktens betydelse för människans lärande. Utifrån Goffmans dramaturgiska perspektiv diskuteras intagande av roller och agerande i gruppen.MetodStudien bygger på en kvalitativ fallstudie med rötter i etnografi i vilken metodtriangulering används. Metoderna som används är en kombination av observationer, fältanteckningar och halvstrukturerade intervjuer inkluderat stimulated recall teknik.ResultatGenom ovan nämnda metoder framkommer det att studiens deltagande elever finner arbetet i skolan mer lustfyllt när de använder sin lärplatta. Det framkommer även att eleverna tycker att ett lärande infinner sig vid användandet av mobila applikationer. De har svårigheter i att sätta ord på sitt lärande och sin utveckling och har en tendens att jämföra lärande med görande. Eleverna som observeras och intervjuas använder sig av mobila applikationer för att underlätta mötet med andra elever. Dessa möten kan vara av olika karaktär men alla möten är av betydelse för eleverna.ImplikationerElever med diagnos utvecklingsstörning kan behöva stöd i såväl skolarbete som i mötet med andra människor. Lärare måste finna de sätt som individuellt fungerar bäst. För den aktuella undersökningsgruppen visar det sig att bland annat mobila applikationerna ger dem det stödet. Eleverna berättar i denna studie att användandet av mobila applikationerna gör lärandet mer lustfyllt och att möten i olika former underlättas.SlutsatsStudien visar att urvalet tycker skolarbetet är mer lustfyllt då de använder sig av lärplattans mobila applikationer. Andra synpunkter från eleverna är att de använder lärplattan som en artefakt både som hjälpmedel och i interaktionen med andra människor. I dessa påpekanden finns en samsyn hos eleverna.Nyckelordappropriering, artefakter, elevperspektiv, främre och bakre regioner, interaktion, mediering, performance (framträdande) och rollgestaltningar.
