Including Learners with Disabilities (EDUC90766)

In this subject, Students will complete an individually negotiated project in which the student undertakes a literature review of current theories and principles underpinning the inclusion of children with disabilities in early childhood or school education. Students will trace research into the evolution of educational practices for children and students with disabilities, and contrast these with current educational policies and practices.

The research project will culminate with Students synthesising the findings of their work in a written research proposal to address a challenge in the area of inclusive education. A hurdle requirement for this subject is that Students provide an oral presentation of their findings, which should incorporate a reflection on the key learnings and understandings they have gained from their studies.
