“…Individuals questioned the quality of students' education and the ways in which teachers' conceptions of disability could negatively impact learning (Forlin et al, 1999). Over time, many advocates for students with disabilities fought for Changes in a Teacher Candidate's Conceptions of Inclusion 219 better services for the children and for their inclusion in the general education classroom (Carroll, 2004).

This study documents one teacher candidate's conceptions about the inclusion of children with special needs in the general education classroom and how these conceptions changed over time.The study illustrates which experiences contributed to an individual's evolving understandings and changing attitudes towards inclusion. Throughout a 15-week literacy methods course, the researcher collected data in the form of observations, interviews, course reflections, and other written assignments. Using grounded theory and constant comparative methods for analyzing data, the researcher discovered how a teacher candidate struggled to understand the purposes and goals of inclusion and was resistant to the idea of teaching students with disabilities. Class readings and course discussions appeared to heighten feelings of frustration and concern; however, making connections between course activities and actual classroom teaching practices and reconsidering the role of the teacher in inclusive classrooms assisted the teacher candidate in forming a commitment to teaching students with disabilities. Findings raise questions and offer possibilities for how to prepare teacher candidates for inclusive classrooms.

Going back to basic educational theory, some writers rhetorically ask if there is a right learning style for multicultural students (Valiente, 2008;Carroll, 2005). Other researchers argue learning styles are not measurable or predictive (Mitchell, 1994;Curry, 1990).…”

The study examined diaspora (team culture) and learning style of 700 international students from 19 countries, enrolled at an accredited Australian university. The research focus was to explore online pedagogy by measuring student diaspora and learning style impact on group performance. To accomplish that, a generalized least squares regression model was developed from survey responses, homeland culture, and team project performance, during a flexible learning course (part online, part face-to-face). Teacher reflections were reviewed for additional pedagogical insight into learning style and diaspora interaction.
