This book thus explores the role of African epistemologies in addressing the myriad challenges posed by the inclusive education system in Africa and other contexts.In recent years, the shift from special education to inclusive education has had a significant impact on the provision of education and the education system as a whole in Africa. The impact has been felt in all institutions of learning from low to high, public and private, government, and across departments of education. Inclusive education, if shaped correctly by using African epistemologies, would empower learners to attain the relevant skills, knowledge, values, and attitudes for their own intellectual growth and personal development.
Research on inclusive education should consider the key players: teachers. Based on three qualitative case studies of Subject teachers working in integration classes at secondary schools in Vienna, this book answers the question how inclusive education affects processes of professionalisation in teachers. The biographical approach places the Subject teachers and their biography at the centre of their professionalisation, resulting in interesting descriptions that give the reader insights into their world.The author introduces inclusive education and compares its implementation in Austria and the Netherlands. She addresses teacher professionalism in general and relates it to the concepts of Bildung and Bildungsgangforschung. The documentary method is explained and illustrated with the three case studies. Their reconstruction shows how professionalisation in relation to working in integration classes is an individual process, motivated by personal experiences, and closely linked to ideas about one's role as a teacher. Concluding, the author relates the results to international findings and gives suggestions for implementing inclusive education.
This book is based on a longitudinal study involving learners of English as a foreign language from their first year in primary education to their last year in compulsory secondary education. Some of the chapters report on the whole sample initially drawn from five primary schools and some are based on a sample of focal learners. These focal learners were followed in secondary school (grades 7 and 10). One of the main aims of the book is capturing change over time regarding the learners¿ language perceptions and awareness, oral and written language development, learners¿ attitudes and motivation, and their language learning trajectories. The longitudinal nature of the data also allows identification of internal and external factors on learners¿ linguistic outcomes. The book draws on a wealth of data sources (self-reported data, classroom observations, institutional data, language tests and tasks), participants (learners, teachers, parents), several testing times and both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The book will be of interest to educators and scholars working on such areas as language pedagogy, language development and awareness as well as individual differences.

It highlights the importance of promoting diversity and equity in higher education. The book emphasizes the need to consider the cultural circumstances of global south students to enhance their employability. The book contributes to a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by Global South international students in the job market.

This edited volume explores the impact of recent events worldwide that commanded rapid transformation with the areas of teaching, learning, assessment, administration, and academic support systems in today¿s higher education institutions globally. It draws on a range of theories and research to provide global perspectives on student and instructor-centered approaches, such as, teaching, learning, assessment, technology use, student and instructor success, curriculum and instructional design, professional development, and academic and administrative support systems.

Educators, administrators, and policymakers benefit by learning about the ways other institutions of higher education continue to adapt to address emerging gaps.The 33 chapters in this volume were authored by international researchers, practitioners, and experts from 20 countries. This diverse group of authors share their experiences in creating opportunities from challenges to address gaps in higher education exposed by disruptions from the external and internal environments.
14 different countries, various research methods, 1 topic: Differentiated Instruction.With increasingly diverse student populations in schools, the establishment of inclusive classrooms has become a top international priority. Teachers around the world are urged to differentiate their instruction in order to support all students' learning needs. Although there is research on the topic, there are still important gaps to explore, especially the underrepresented international research output. This book tackles such limitations and provides a first ever publication concerning global insights into differentiated instruction. A total of 14 countries from 5 continents provide empirical evidence, theoretical and practical approaches to the topic. The book wraps up with a contribution from Prof. Dr. John Hattie, University of Melbourne, who shares eight theses to help the continuing debate and research on differentiated instruction.
Demonstrates how North-East leaders ensure teachers are able to implement and sustain the North-East relationship-based pedagogy with fidelity by: setting goals for equity, excellence, and cultural sustainability; implementing a pedagogic approach that ensures these goals are realised; implementing in-school support systems that ensures the pedagogy is implemented with fidelity over time--these systems include infrastructure, leadership, inclusion, and evidence; taking ownership of the approach by planning, resourcing, and reviewing teaching and school-wide leadership practices to ensure support systems work as intended, over time. The book includes three case studies that demonstrate how this process of reform was able to successfully raise Måaori student achievements to match that of their non-Måaori peers, enable Måaori students to do so "as Måaori", and benefit other marginalised students.

Das Buch bestimmt die Verhältnisse von Schule und Transnationalisierung angesichts globaler Migrations- und Fluchtbewegungen sowie vor dem Hintergrund zunehmender Internationalisierungs- und Digitalisierungsprozesse. Grenzüberschreitende Beziehungen und Verflechtungen von Schule und schulischen Akteuren sind in der Folge Bestandteil des schulischen Alltags. Mit Blick auf die Verknüpfung mit Bildung lassen sich zwei ungleichheitsrelevante Diskurse unterscheiden: Mobilität und Migration. Während Mobilität im Kontext Schule als erstrebenswerte Norm gilt, wird Migration vielfach als problematisch betrachtet.

"An overview of traumatic stress and how it affects students, the book advocates for differentiated pedagogical strategies that meet the needs of students coping with trauma"--
Die Studie untersucht, wie neu zugewanderte Schüler*innen an einer Hamburger Sekundarschule integrativ, d.h. sowohl in Regelklassen als auch einer Vorbereitungsklasse, beschult werden. Anhand von ethnographischen Daten wird durch Auswertungsmethoden der Reflexiven Grounded Theory aufgezeigt, wie es zu Prozessen der Inklusion und Exklusion durch sprachliche Bildung kommt. Herausforderungen zeigen sich in strukturell-organisationalen Hürden, während sich Chancen durch das inklusive Selbstverständnis der Schule ergeben, die ihren Unterricht an eine diverse Schüler*innenschaft angepasst hat. So hängt die Möglichkeit der Teilhabe am Regelunterricht letztlich vor allem von Faktoren ab, die alle Schüler*innen gleichermaßen und nicht nur neu zugewanderte betreffen.

This book examines the status of intercultural education in Chile. It does this through three axes: the first is multidisciplinary, including historical, anthropological, sociological, and pedagogical, to account for varied aspects of the Chilean intercultural education. The second is the consideration of multiple indigenous peoples, analyzing students¿ groups or indigenous peoples, such as the Rapa Nui, Aymara, or Mapuche.
