Description

This module reflects on the implications of recent, current and relevant legislation in the UK and internationally on policy, research and practice in schools, colleges and other education-related settings. It includes critical analysis of the terminology of '(dis)ability', 'special educational need', 'inclusion', 'exclusion' and 'labelling' and sets UK inclusive education policy, research and practice into the wider international context. The focus is to relate participants' own professional experience to a range of diverse theoretical models and to enable them to use knowledge, understanding, awareness and insights gained to generate own hypotheses and propose own 'solutions' to issues relevant to the field of inclusive education.
