The views of students and practitioners of how to include all children in learning and regular classroom

Kurawa, Gwadabe

Abstract

Inclusion is concerned with reducing barriers to learning and participation for all the students (Ainscow et al., 2006). This paper
reports a small-scale survey conducted with 44 respondents in a primary school in the Northwest of England, UK to gauge their
opinions of the processes of increasing participation and learning in classrooms. Information was collected from the respondents
via Index for Inclusion questionnaire listing possible indicators for classroom use. The results from this study are, the author
suggests, very indicating when it comes to the confidence of ‘insiders’ for supporting the learning and participation of all the
students in the particular context. The results, he also claims, proved useful in helping him on the one hand to understand the
processes of increasing the participation and learning of diverse pupils and, on the other hand, would help practitioners to reflect
on and improve their practice
