This article examines teacher education programmes in the Arab region and the extent to which teachers are prepared to work
in inclusive education settings. In the Arab world, the emerging area of inclusive education faces various challenges, among
them a teaching force that is not adequately prepared to teach all children. This challenge arises partly because, without
content on inclusive education, current pre-service and in-service programmes produce teachers who lack the skills to work
with children with special needs in mainstream classrooms. This article focuses on teacher education in Jordan, where the
problems and challenges surrounding teacher education programmes for inclusive education mirror those in other Arab countries.
In Jordan, training for inclusive education is very limited at both pre-service and in-service levels, both because the idea
has only recently been introduced and because of limited financial resources in the country. Still, the growing interest in
adopting an inclusive education system has raised awareness about the importance of providing teachers with education that
enables them to work with children with special needs in inclusive settings. 相似文献

This study investigated loneliness among students with blindness and those who are sighted in Jordan, and examined whether loneliness levels vary according to gender. Students included 90 students with blindness and 79 sighted students selected from high schools and universities in the capital city of Amman. The instrument used to collect information in this study was an Arabic translation and adapted version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale developed by Russell in 1996. The results indicated that students with blindness reported significantly higher degrees of loneliness than sighted students; however, no significant differences were attributable to gender or interaction between visual status and gender. The implications of the findings for families and teachers of students with blindness, and for future research in Jordan, are offered. 相似文献

The educational and developmental needs of children with disabilities in general, and of children with vision impairments in particular, have been ignored until recently in the Sultanate of Oman. However, the situation of special education and rehabilitation services is changing and there is progress to report. This article presents an overview of the prevalence and patterns of vision impairment, types of services offered, and priorities for future work. 相似文献

The antidyslipidemic activity of Ocimum sanctum leaf extract was studied in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. In this model, there was significant increase in plasma markers of diabetic-dyslipidemia following diminution of lipid metabolizing enzymes. Oral administration of leaf extract (500 mg/kg b.w.p.o.) for 15 days resulted in significant decrease in diabetogenic and dyslipidemia parameters; namely blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, lipid peroxide, free fatty acids, small dense low density lipoprotein, lipid and protein components of plasma lipoproteins, adipose and liver. The regulation of lipids was accompanied by stimulation of postheparin lipolytic activity, reactivation of lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase and hepatic lipoprotein lipase enzymes. The results of the present study demonstrated antidyslipidemic and antioxidant activities in leaf extract of O. sanctum which could be used in prevention of diabetic-dyslipidemia and related complications. 相似文献

Staff providing support to children with disabilities in residential disability centres in Oman are exposed to stressful work environments which may put them at an increased risk of burnout. Previous research has examined predictors of stress in disability support staff, but there is little consensus as the findings are inconclusive. Using a cross‐sectional design, a short survey examined religious coping styles, meaning and inner sense of peace, attitude to meaning in life, organisational religiousness practices and stress of 142 female disability support staff from community disability centres in Oman. Multiple regression analyses indicated that positive religious coping was more predictive of stress than negative religious coping. There was an association between meaning‐making and stress in disability support staff. Religious organisation explained most of the variance in stress scores and was the best predictor of stress in disability support staff. Implications of the study are discussed in relation to the role of both culture and religion. 相似文献

The levels of norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA) serotonin (5-HT) and its metabolite 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA)
have been determined in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of normal (n=25) and suicidal attempt cases (n=30). A significant decrease
in the level of NE (p<0.01), 5-HT(p<0.001) and 5-HIAA (p<0.001) in the CSF of suicide attempt cases were observed as compared
to normal controls. It is concluded that CSF 5-HIAA level which is drastically depleted may be used as an early biochemical
indicator of suicidal attempt so that it may be treated by the drugs which can enhance the suppressed neurotransmitter activity. 相似文献

Simulations and games are not new artifacts to the study of science in secondary school settings (Hug, Kriajcik and Marx 2005), however teachers remain skeptical as to their value, use and appropriateness (Rice 2006). The difficulty is not only the design and development of effective play environments that produce measurable changes in knowledge and/or understanding, but also in their on-the-ground use (Jaipal and Figg 2010). This paper reports on the use of a science-focused video game in five very different secondary school settings in Ontario, Canada. A mixed-methods approach was used in the study, and included data gathered on general gameplay habits and technology use, as well as informal interviews with teachers and students who played the game. In total, 161 participants played a series of games focused on the ??life of a plant??, and were given both a pre and post quiz to determine if the game helped them retain and/or change what they knew about scientific processes like plant cell anatomy and photosynthesis. Participants showed statistically significant improvement on quizzes that were taken after playing the game for approximately one-hour sessions, despite difficulties in some cases both accessing and playing the game for the full hour. Our findings also reveal the ongoing challenges in making use of technology in a variety of school sessions, even when using a browser-based game, that demanded very little other than a reliable internet connection. 相似文献

This study investigated the knowledge and attitudes of Jordanian school counselors toward diabetes mellitus. A sample of 295
counselors completed a questionnaire consisting of two parts concerning knowledge and attitudes. The face validity of the
questionnaire was assessed using an informed panel of judges, and its reliability was established using the test- re-test
method. Results showed that counselors as a whole had a moderate level of knowledge about diabetes. This level of knowledge
was related to counselor gender (females were more knowledgeable than males) and to knowing a person with diabetes, but not
to counselor age. Results also showed that counselors showed favorable attitudes toward students with diabetes. Knowing a
student with diabetes had no influence on attitudes. 相似文献

Although the past two decades have witnessed an increasing interest in the education of children with disabilities in Jordan, special education services are extended to less than 3% of the target population. Accordingly, the overwhelming majority of children with disabilities stay home with very little professional support and help available to them or to their families. The primary purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the present situation of families of children with disabilities in Jordan. Basic information about developments in this area is provided and the results of a survey conducted by the authors are presented. 相似文献
