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

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

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

Internationally, there has been increasing emphasis on the teaching of the academic literacies, particularly reading and writing, in higher education institutions. However, recent research is highlighting the need for more explicit teaching of multimodal forms of communication, such as the visual literacies, in undergraduate courses in a wide range of disciplines such as the sciences, engineering and architecture. The research recognises that this is an area of academic literacy teaching that has often been neglected. This article draws on the findings of a research project which set out to understand both the multimodal literacy requirements and current practices in the teaching of these literacies in the earth and life sciences at a South African university. Three key themes are discussed: learning to see like a scientist, the importance of learning by switching between and integrating different modes of representation and teaching the conventions of representation in the sciences. The conclusion proposes ways for academic developers to work with staff to develop more explicit ways of teaching the visual literacies. 相似文献

A resurgence of national and international interest in citizenship education, citizenship and social cohesion has been coupled with an apparent emergence of a language of crisis (Sears & Hyslop-Margison, 2006). Given this background, how can or should one consider a subjective sense of membership in a single political community? What this article hopes to show is that confining the subject of citizenship or patriotism to a national framework is inadequate in as much as there are grounds to argue for a more expansive and, at the same time, integrated outlook. Patriotism, like Citizenship, is still open to interpretation and potentially in danger of falling short of a richer conception. Education, therefore, needs to incorporate inclusive practices and encourage an integrative mindset in order to accommodate: increasingly complex identities, associations, experiences and continuing changes in the political landscape. In this article, the author argues for the importance of learning ways in which to value and respect diversity while working towards a principle of unity in diversity. Cultivating a subjective sense of membership in a single world polity is vital in matters pertaining to sustainability and justice.
In response to considering possible ways of sharing a subjective sense of membership in a single community and some implications for Citizenship, Patriotism and Citizenship Education, this article looks to three areas: ways in which to understand the notion of citizenship and patriotism, cultural crises and the notion of a cosmopolitan nation and, finally, the personal dimension to education for world citizenship. 相似文献

The popular press has put forth the idea that the US educational system is experiencing a “boy crisis,” where boys are losing ground to girls across multiple dimensions. Here, we analyze these claims in the context of math and reading achievement during early primary school. We reach two conclusions. First, white boys outperform white girls in math across virtually the entire distribution by the end of third grade; there is less evidence for other races. Second, boys lag behind girls in reading at the start of kindergarten and at the end of third grade across all races, but only the lowest-achieving boys lose ground over the first 4 years; boys gain ground between first and third grades. 相似文献
