School bullying is a major diachronic problem of modern society and in recent years it presents considerable intensification, attracting scientific and research attention. The present research studies the victimization due to school bullying of children with disabilities. The aim of the research is to investigate whether the maternal attachment of people with disabilities such as blindness, deafness and motor disability and also of those without disabilities is linked to their victimization or bullying behavior in school, and to highlight the impact of specific demographic characteristics on the possible underlying relationship between maternal attachment and victimization for them. Further, the objectives of the present research include the appraisal of a comparison between individuals with and without disabilities. The research was conducted through a quantitative survey in Greece, to 170 individuals aged between 10 and 21 years of age, with blindness (N=36), deafness (N=38), physical disability (N=50) and without disability (N=50). The results revealed differences between participants with and without disabilities with regard to the type of attachment they have developed with their mothers and to their experiences as victims or offenders of school bullying. The results also demonstrate that there is a correlation between maternal attachment and school bullying behaviors and for certain disability groups mother care and / or mother protection is a predicting factor of these behaviors. Mobbing in der Schule ist ein großes diachrones Problem der modernen Gesellschaft und hat in den letzten Jahren eine erhebliche Zunahme erfahren, was die Aufmerksamkeit von Wissenschaft und Forschung auf sich zieht. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Viktimisierung von Kindern mit Behinderungen durch Mobbing in der Schule. Ziel der Forschung ist es, zu untersuchen, ob die mütterliche Bindung von Menschen mit Behinderungen wie Blindheit, Taubheit und motorischen Behinderungen sowie von Menschen ohne Behinderungen mit ihrem Viktimisierungs- oder Mobbingverhalten in der Schule zusammenhängt, und den Einfluss spezifischer demografischer Merkmale aufzuzeigen über die mögliche zugrunde liegende Beziehung zwischen mütterlicher Bindung und Viktimisierung für sie. Zu den Zielen der vorliegenden Forschung gehört auch die Bewertung eines Vergleichs zwischen Menschen mit und ohne Behinderungen. Die Studie wurde im Rahmen einer quantitativen Umfrage in Griechenland an 170 Personen im Alter zwischen 10 und 21 Jahren mit Blindheit (N=36), Taubheit (N=38), körperlicher Behinderung (N=50) und ohne Behinderung durchgeführt (N=50). Die Ergebnisse zeigten Unterschiede zwischen Teilnehmenden mit und ohne Behinderung hinsichtlich der Art der Bindung, die sie zu ihren Müttern entwickelt haben, und ihrer Erfahrungen als Opfer oder Täter von Mobbing in der Schule.

This study measured the attitudes of non-disabled students towards their peers with disabilities. A cross-sectional survey was employed for the study. The Chedoke-McMaster Attitudes Towards Children with “Handicaps” (CATCH) scale was used to collect data from n=119 respondents. Descriptive statistics analysis was employed in analysing the data. Results indicated that students without disabilities generally held neutral attitudes towards their peers with disabilities (M=2.12; SD=0.687) with no significant difference in gender, age, having a close friend or relative with a disability. Teachers in inclusive education schools were encouraged to measure the attitudes of students towards their peers with disabilities and other related variables. This would enable them to plan, design, develop, implement and evaluate effective interventions that would change non-disabled students’ negative and/or neutral attitudes, thereby ensuring the full social participation of students with disabilities in inclusive settings.

This study explored the level of peer acceptance of students with visual impairments and their perception of acceptance by their sighted peers in an inclusive setting in Ghana using the case study design. Twenty students with visual impairments and two resource teachers were sampled based on census sampling for the study. Interview data were coded and analysed using the thematic approach. The study indicated that students with visual impairments were accepted by their sighted peers, more especially, based on their social skills and academic prowess. The study further revealed that students with visual impairments have a positive perception about their social participation in the school. Although the students were fairly satisfied about their participation, they expressed their frustration on how some teachers’ instructions excluded them in class. It was recommended among others in the study that teachers in inclusive schools should organise more counselling or sensitisation programmes for all students to educate them on issues of disabilities and how to ensure friendly relationships between students with and those without disabilities. This would promote better acceptance of the disabled by those without disabilities. Resource persons who are special educators are also encouraged to periodically sensitize teachers on classroom instructions.

The Thessaloniki Music School has been repeatedly awarded for its innovative activities in eTwinning programs in special music education. Students with visual impairments and with developmental disorders were encouraged to participate in these programs. Digital music was exchanged from many European countries and original musical compositions were produced and presented. The European and traditional music scores were presented for the first time in electronic Braille form. For students with learning difficulties and pervasive developmental disorders there were special educational presentations with a combination of special educational methods, Relationship Development Intervention, the Irlen method using light sensitivity, and Treatment and Education of Autistic and Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH method). The greatest achievement of the project was the composition of the e Twinning hymn whose lyrics are about friendship in various musical arrangements and languages. Our hymn was presented at concerts, conferences, the Grundtvig European workshop and was uploaded on websites. Article visualizations:

The aim of the study is to determine to examine the current literature concerning the dynamics that encourage participation in sportive/physical activity in visually impaired individuals about the social ecological theory offered by developmental psychologist Uri Bronfenbrenner. This theory argues that the environmental layers have an effect on the development processes of individuals. Three separate systems constitute Bronfenbrenner’s model. These are the microsystem, mesosystem and exo-system, while all of these systems can operate individually on the individual, they are also systems that can work together on the individual. The microsystem constitutes the smallest and closest environment the individual lives. In the microsystem, such as parents, friends, staff (coach, teacher, club president), school, form the micro-system layer. On the other hand, the mesosystem consists of the interactions of different microsystems of which the individual is a part. In other words, it is basically a whole consisting of different microsystems. For example, it includes the relations between an individual's home and school, peer group and family and other social institutions. The exo -system layer covers the social structures that make up the institutional impact and the variables that show the interaction with these structures, such as institutional support, legal regulations, financial support, guidance service, management and auditing. In the study, we used qualitative analysis methods and techniques. We preferred the “purposive sampling” in determining the sample group in the study. We collected data from 13 male and 1 female impaired active athletes participated in the research and the ages of these participants were in the range of 17-47 years, living in Istanbul, Turkey. We used semi-structured, open-ended questions with the thematic analysis method of data. We took notes, kept diaries and recorded all impressions with dates and times. The results of the research evidently layout that all the variables that visually impaired individuals interact throughout their lives have an impact on their participation in sports. In this context, individual well-being, family characteristics, the nature of the relationship with the geographical features of the region and adaptation to the age individuals lived showed that all the variables were in a relationship with each other like the links of the chain.

This theory argues that the environmental layers have an effect on the development processes of individuals. Three separate systems constitute Bronfenbrenner’s model. These are the microsystem, mesosystem and exo-system, while all of these systems can operate individually on the individual, they are also systems that can work together on the individual. The microsystem constitutes the smallest and closest environment the individual lives. In the microsystem, such as parents, friends, staff (coach, teacher, club president), school, form the micro-system layer. On the other hand, the mesosystem consists of the interactions of different microsystems of which the individual is a part. In other words, it is basically a whole consisting of different microsystems. For example, it includes the relations between an individual's home and school, peer group and family and other social institutions. The exo -system layer covers the social structures that make up the institutional impact and the variables that show the interaction with these structures, such as institutional support, legal regulations, financial support, guidance service, management and auditing. In the study, we used qualitative analysis methods and techniques. We preferred the “purposive sampling” in determining the sample group in the study. We collected data from 13 male and 1 female impaired active athletes participated in the research and the ages of these participants were in the range of 17-47 years, living in Istanbul, Turkey. We used semi-structured, open-ended questions with the thematic analysis method of data. We took notes, kept diaries and recorded all impressions with dates and times. The results of the research evidently layout that all the variables that visually impaired individuals interact throughout their lives have an impact on their participation in sports. In this context, individual well-being, family characteristics, the nature of the relationship with the geographical features of the region and adaptation to the age individuals lived showed that all the variables were in a relationship with each other like the links of the chain. \u0000 \u0000 Article visualizations:","PeriodicalId":378693,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Special Education Research","volume":"30 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124617501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore teachers’ perception on the effectiveness of head teachers’ supervisory role on teaching and learning of adaptive skills by learners with Intellectual Disabilities (ID), Kenya. The study used Effective School Theory advanced by Lezotte. A descriptive survey design involving both qualitative and quantitative approaches was used. The target population was 227 respondents (207 learners, 5 head teachers and 15 teachers). The sample size was 124 respondents (104 learners, 15 teachers and 5 Head teachers). Purposive sampling was used to select special schools and units. Stratified sampling technique was used to divide population into strata and then through simple random sampling, the exact respondents were identified, i.e., head teachers, teachers and learners in special programmes. Data was collected by use of interview guide for head teachers, observational check list for learners and questionnaire for teachers. Piloting was conducted in Kathelwa Special Unit in Igembe Central Sub-county. Test-retest method was done and a coefficient level of 0.7 was obtained. Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS Version 23.0 while qualitative data was analysed thematically. Data was presented using tables and figures for quantitative data while qualitative data was presented using reported verbatims and narratives. The key finding of this study was that majority of head teachers did not use appropriate instructional supervision skills due to lack of essential professional qualifications and knowledge of adaptive skills for learners with intellectual disabilities. The finding also established that teachers perceived majority of head teachers as ineffective in instructional supervision as they did not orientate or guide them in teaching strategies or even skills to teach their learners. The study also found that lack of adequate training and knowledge in adaptive skills, limited provision of teaching and learning resources hindered effective instructional supervision. The study recommended that there should be a policy that head teachers for special institutions be trained in the area of that disability so as to benefit both teachers and learners. The study also recommended that the government, through the ministry of education to provide and allocate adequate funds for both refresher courses and seminars for teachers and also for acquiring teaching and learning resources.

摘要:本研究旨在探讨肯尼亚教师对班主任监督角色在智障学习者适应技能教学中的有效性的看法。本研究采用了Lezotte的有效学校理论。采用了定性和定量方法的描述性调查设计。调查对象为227人,其中学习者207人,班主任5人,教师15人。调查样本量为124人(104名学习者、15名教师和5名班主任)。采用有目的抽样的方法选择特殊学校和单位。采用分层抽样技术将人口分层,然后通过简单的随机抽样,确定准确的调查对象,即班主任,特殊课程的教师和学习者。采用班主任访谈指南、学习者观察性检查表、教师问卷等方法收集数据。试点工作在伊格姆贝中央副县的Kathelwa特别股进行。采用重测法,系数水平为0.7。定量数据采用SPSS Version 23.0进行分析,定性数据采用专题分析。数据使用定量数据的表格和数字呈现,而定性数据使用逐字报告和叙述呈现。本研究的主要发现是,由于缺乏必要的专业资格和对智障学习者适应技能的了解,大多数班主任没有使用适当的教学监督技能。调查结果还表明,教师认为大多数班主任在教学监督方面是无效的,因为他们没有在教学策略甚至教学技巧方面指导或指导他们。研究还发现,缺乏适当的适应性技能培训和知识,教学和学习资源的提供有限,阻碍了有效的教学监督。该研究建议,应制定一项政策,使特别机构的班主任在残疾方面接受培训,以便使教师和学习者都受益。该研究还建议政府通过教育部为教师提供和分配足够的资金,用于进修课程和研讨会,以及获取教学和学习资源。可视化条

This study aims to explore whether and why speech and language therapists (SLTs) use informal sources to guide their intervention decisions for children with developmental language delay (DLD). A qualitative study was conducted. Sixteen Turkish SLTs participated in this study. The methods of interviewing, participant observation and audio diary were used. An inductive thematic approach was taken to analyse the data. Five main themes were revealed from the data: 'The lack of trust in the formal standardised tests and sources', 'experience over theory', 'trial-error, 'other professionals’ opinion' and 'instinct' showed that the SLTs value variety of sources and their cumulative experience when making an intervention decision. While evidence-based practice (EBP) has been increasingly used and encouraged in the SLT profession, this study shows that informal sources play a significant role in SLTs' clinical reasoning. This study sheds light on the behind factors of relying on informal sources to make intervention decisions. The role and dynamic of using informal sources could help understand the value and risks of this approach in clinical reasoning. Article visualizations:
