The document discusses the concepts of mainstream education, special education, integrated education, and inclusive education. It defines each concept and compares the differences between integrated education and inclusive education. Integrated education aims to educate some special needs children alongside regular students with some support, while inclusive education aims to educate all children who have been excluded from education by providing special infrastructure, curriculum, and trained staff to meet their diverse needs. The key difference is that inclusive education has a broader scope of including all excluded students, while integrated education may have its own criteria for which students to include.

Special Education: • Meaning: Primitive Era meaning: Special education meaned categorised education for Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras etc. Modern meaning: • Education for Special need children. • Specifically designed instruction that meets the unusual needs of special children. • The term special education includes all aspects of education which are applied to all exceptional children– Physically and mentally disadvantaged and gifted.
SPECIAL EDUCATION • For special education, some special infrastructure is needed. • Also it can be included in mainstream education with some special facilities for it. • Special education requires following three elements: 1. Trained professionals including teachers, educationists, physiotherapists. 2. Special curriculum made for students with different disabilities. 3. Infrastructure facilities like building features, study places, material and equipments.
Need of Special education: • To fulfil needs of exceptional children for education. • To help exceptional children for self sufficiency, occupation etc. • To help them for better life. • To cater their daily needs. • They need to be educated in order to get acquainted with surrounding happenings. • What is need of special education according to you?
Mainstreaming of education: • Mainstreaming of education: Meaning: Mainstreaming, in the context of education is the practice of educating students with special needs in regular classes during specific time periods based on their skills. This means regular education classes are combined with special education classes.
Mainstreaming of special education: • Mainstreaming does not involve putting a child full-time in a special school. • Mainstreaming does not involve placing a child full-time in a regular classroom. A student who spends the entire day in a regular classroom with non-disabled peers is considered fully included. Most students with mild levels of disabilities such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder, or with non-cognitive disabilities such as diabetes are fully included. • Mainstreaming does not involve teaching the child outside of school.
TYPES OF MAINSTREAMING OF EDUCATION • 1. 2. 3. Mainstreaming can be done in three ways. Integrated Education. Inclusive Education. Exclusive Education. • Exclusive education is exclusion of all the students who are not able to fit in the curriculum or in school settings for any reason. Not aim of including all students so very narrow concept.
Integrated Education • Definition • Integrated Education is the educational programme in which exceptional children attend classes with normal children on either a part or full time basis. • It is placement of the disabled children in ordinary schools with some specialised educational help and services. • It does not necessarily integrate all the students who are away from the education for any reason like physically, mentally, socially deprived or because of any cast, creed, gender, race, ability, disability, life style etc.
Integrated Education • Concept • The concept of integrated education arises as outcome of National policy of education, 1986 recommended to provide equal opportunity to all not only for access but also for success. • Integration signifies the process of interaction of disabled children with normal children in the same educational setting. • Integration also means ‘mainstreaming’ or ‘Normalisation’. As disabled children are treated with normal children.
Integrated Education • Importance • It does not create a feeling of differentiation among disabled children. • It helps to remove inferiority complex among disabled children. • It provides peer group help in learning from normal children. • It provides disabled children a chance to enjoy school life with normal children. • It ensures social integration.
Integrated Education • Importance • It inculcates affection, love and respect for disabled children among normal children. • It is less expensive as special infrastructure is not required. Special learning material and specially trained teachers are not appointed. • Disabled or challenged students may get help from peers for learning and get motivated for learning.
INCLUSIVE EDUCATION • Definition: • Inclusive education can be defined as the process of increasing the participation of students in the cultures, curricula, and communities of local mainstream schools. • Concept: • It includes all the students who are away from the education for any reasons like physically or mentally challenged, economically, socially, deprived or belonging to any caste creed, gender etc.
INCLUSIVE EDUCATION • It is more broader and wider concept than integrated education as it includes all the students in mainstream education. • For inclusive education special planning can be done in mainstream education like special infrastructure, specially designed classes, special curriculum. • Children with some special need can be made to sit in different classes or same classes with catering their needs. • Ex- Hearing impaired children can be provided with audio aids for hearing. Visually impaired children can be provided with books in Braille.
Teaching aids for visually impaired children.
Teaching aids for hearing impaired children.
Special arrangement and provision of ramps for physically handicapped children.
Benefits of inclusive education. • All the children away from education will be benefitted from education. • Disabled or challenged students may get a support and help from normal students. • All the students excluded from school because of some reason may get a chance to enjoy school life with normal students. • Disabled or challenged students get motivated for learning. • They may get a confidence and can learn to face problems, and challenges because of peer help.
Disadvatages of inclusive education. • Disabled or challenged students may not get proper help from teachers and peers which may lower down their moral. • They may face any other problems because of inadequate facilities and teaching aids required to meet their needs. • They may get inferiority complex in them because of some disability. • Gifted children may get feeling of ignorance. • Can you suggest any other disadvantages?
Difficulties in inclusive education: • Characteristics of individual pupils should match to facilitate participation in schooling. • Curriculum limitations. • No tested methods and techniques and teaching aids available to cater their needs. • Teachers or trained staff must be enthusiastic to promote greater participation of challenged students. • Formal planning. • Response of parents and students.
Difference between Integrated and Inclusive education Integrated education Inclusive education • Main aim is not integrating all the children who are away from education. So not very broad concept. • Children with some disability are integrated in normal school only. • No formal planning is required. • No special infrastructure, trained staff, special curriculum is required. • All the students away from education are not necessarily included in mainstream schools. • Main aim is including all the children who are away from education. So broader concept. • Children with some disability are included in normal schools but with some special facilities for them. • Formal planning is required. • Special infrastructure, trained staff, and special curriculum is designed for them. Ex- Ramps for physically handicapped children. Specially designed classes. • All the students away from education are included in the mainstream schools.
Difference between Integrated and Inclusive education Integrated education • Can have their own criteria of integrating students with some disability or ability. • Not very expensive as inclusive education. • Regular curriculum is also followed by challenged students with generally same school timing. • Challenged or gifted students in any way are occupied in same normal classrooms. Inclusive education • Do not have their own criteria of including students as main aim is to include all the students who are excluded from education. • Can be more expensive as special planning is done for infrastructure, curriculum and trained staff is appointed. • Special curriculum is designed and followed for challenged students with may be less school timing or according to need. • Special classrooms are designed or students are given special seating arrangement according to their need.
