“…This concurs with James (2017) who advocates a Community-Referenced Approach to Education (CRAE) which, among other areas, focuses on inclusive practices that consider the background, knowledge, and experiences students bring into the classrooms. Similarly, Fernandez and Cortes (2017) claim that teaching practices in inclusive education should focus on enhancing a strong relationship between teaching staff and students, motivating students to learn, and classrooms conducive to learning.…”

Students' learning and participation in inclusive educational settings requires, among other things, teaching pedagogies that respond to students' diverse needs so as to benefit from the education provided. This study explored teaching pedagogies employed in Tanzanian inclusive educational settings across all educational levels, whether or not they respond to students' diverse needs, using voices of students with visual impairment (VI) in higher education institutions (HEIs). A total of 16 students with VI from two HEIs were involved in a semi-structured interview, with thematic analysis being used to evaluate the data. The teaching methods used in primary schools were found to be more responsive to the needs of students with VI, compared to secondary schools and HEIs. Similarly, more positive inclusive practices were reported in primary schools than in secondary and higher education settings, and more primary school teachers with neither inclusive nor special education training were reported to be supportive and considerate to the needs of students with VI, compared to their counterparts in advanced levels. Some negative inclusive practices were also reported which appear to have an impact on students' access to teachers' instructions and their participation in learning. The negative inclusive practices of teachers appear to originate from teachers' limited understanding of inclusion, negative attitudes towards students with special education needs and lack of support from school authorities. In this regard, school authorities and teachers need to transform school cultures, teaching pedagogies, and attitudes to respond to the diverse needs in inclusive educational settings.

“…Teachers' positive attitude is the most important aspect that contributes the major benefit toward the achievement of inclusive education practice (Yaraya, Masalimova, Vasbieva and Grudtsina , 2018;Pappas, Papoutsi, and Drigas 2018;Yada and Savolainen, 2017;Ahmme et al, 2013;Bhatnagar, Nisha, and Das, 2014;Dias and Cadime, 2016;Shoulders and Krei, 2014;Lee, Yeung, Tracey, and Barker, 2015;Lee, 2013;Rajovic and Juranovic, 2013;Salem, 2013;Khochen and Radford, 2012;Fırat, 2014;Peter and Nderitu, 2014). Furthermore, attitude has become as important factor to achieve the inclusive education toward implementation successfully (Dorji, Bailey, Paterson, Graham, and Miller, 2019;Fernández, and Cortés, 2017;Hoskin, Boyle, and Anderson, 2015).…”

Inclusive education as a primary education policy for students with special needs to create inclusive society and equal opportunities in education. The purpose of this study was to identify the attitude of Primary School teachers towards inclusive education in Aceh province. Attitude assessment consists of three aspects: cognitive, affective, and behavioral, and how special education training influence teachers' attitudes toward inclusive education. This study involved 399 primary school teachers. The results of the MANOVA test revealed there was a significant difference effect of teachers who have received in special education training on all aspects of attitude with the Wilks' Lambda λ value [F dk (3,395) = 0.909, sig = 0.000 p <0.05]. Whereas the results of the ANOVA analysis found there were a significant effect differences on two of the three aspects of attitude, there are in cognitive aspect [F dk (1,397) = 26.129, with sig = 0.000 p <0.05] and in behavioral aspect [F dk (1,397) = 35.360, with sig = 0.000 p <0.05], while there was no significant effect difference on the affective aspect [F dk (1,397) = 0.776, with sig = 0.379 p> 0.05]. The study concludes that special education training in inclusive education practices enhances teachers' confidence in their ability to work with special needs children as well as enhances their effectiveness in implementing classroom practices, which is a contributing factor to success in inclusive education. The implications of the study indicate that there is a need for improved training programs for teachers teaching in inclusive education schools in Aceh province so that inclusive education practices can work as determined by the Indonesian government.

“…El fomento de relaciones de confianza dentro de la escuela, desde el trato amigable, respetuoso y amoroso, es una práctica poco abordada en la literatura sobre educación inclusiva (Fernández y Cortés, 2017), pero que, según nuestra teoría, es una de las prácticas más importantes a desarrollar en una escuela cada vez más orientada a la competencia.…”

Analysing the work done in classrooms to welcome human diversity is an essential task of educational research. If we intend to break down the barriers that prevent us from speaking without labels of difference as an educational wealth, if we wish to build a truly inclusive society, we must show that the process can begin at school. This research presents three case studies in which we analyse how an early childhood education teacher, an elementary school teacher and principal, and a secondary school teacher (with a clear commitment to social transformation) perceive and practice educational inclusion and what improvements they propose to build classrooms coherent with inclusive education. This approach aims to analyse, in each case, whether positive attitudes towards educational inclusion are consistent with classroom practices defined as inclusive and to examine the contextual and ideological elements that affect this relationship. The results show that an inclusive attitude is based on: a) pedagogical knowledge inherited from some key referents; b) feelings and desires based on love and resistance to injustice; c) practical thinking that arises from personal reflection and dialogue and collaboration with others (primarily through participation in critical teacher networks such as the PRM). Each teacher's ideology is developed with an ethical and moral commitment, primarily political, arising from a feeling that forges a desire for transformation. The case studies also analyse teachers' practices, examining their alignment with practices described in the scientific literature on inclusion and their consistency with inclusive attitudes.
