Background: Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) refers to the care and education of children from birth to age four. There is a scarcity of research on inclusion in this marginalised sector in many developing countries, including South Africa. Aim: This article reports on a virtual learning participatory workshop on understanding inclusion with six ECCE teachers and two ECD practitioner trainers. Setting: Due to the social distancing necessitated by the Corona Virus pandemic, all interactions were facilitated through the WhatsApp platform. Methods: The study employed a participatory action learning and action research (PALAR) design that focuses on collaborative and contextually relevant learning and research. Data were generated in two iterative cycles using a baseline questionnaire, photovoice, reflective journals and purposeful conversations. Results: Cycle one found that some of the participants’ understanding of inclusion needed to be challenged. Their understandings of inclusion centred on discourses of disability with a narrow view of inclusion. This action learning set (ALS) mainly regarded inclusion to be a product rather than a process and claimed that segregation had some advantages. Some of the members of the ALS also misconstrued inclusion for micro-exclusive practices of assimilation and integration. Cycle two was planned to address these misunderstandings. Cycle two revealed that becoming inclusive means revisiting dominant ideologies about inclusion and a critical awareness of micro-exclusive practices. Conclusion: This research serves to challenge dominant beliefs of what inclusion is. The knowledge presented here could be cascaded to other ECCE centres in the South African context. With a scarcity of research on inclusion in ECCE, this study may provide a point of departure for future research.
背景:幼儿保育和教育(ECCE)是指从出生到四岁的儿童的照顾和教育。在包括南非在内的许多发展中国家,关于融入这一边缘化部门的研究很少。目的:本文报道了一个由6名幼儿教育教师和2名幼儿教育从业者培训师参与的关于理解包容的虚拟学习参与式研讨会。设置:由于冠状病毒大流行需要保持社交距离,所有互动都通过WhatsApp平台进行。方法:本研究采用参与式行动学习和行动研究(PALAR)设计,侧重于协作和情境相关的学习和研究。数据是通过基线问卷、照片语音、反思日志和有目的的对话在两个迭代周期中生成的。结果:第一个周期发现一些参与者对包容的理解需要受到挑战。他们对包容的理解以残疾话语为中心,对包容的看法很狭隘。这种行动学习集(ALS)主要把包容看作是一个产品而不是一个过程,并声称隔离有一些优势。ALS的一些成员还将包容误解为同化和融合的微观排他性实践。第二阶段计划解决这些误解。周期二揭示了包容性意味着重新审视关于包容性的主流意识形态,以及对微排斥实践的批判性意识。结论:本研究对包容性的主流观念提出了挑战。这里所介绍的知识可以在南非范围内串联到其他欧洲经委会中心。由于对ECCE纳入研究的缺乏,本研究可能为未来的研究提供一个出发点。

upon their entry to secondary schools (Hallam & Ireson 1999). The Background: This article reports findings of a qualitative study that investigated teachers’ perceptions on the use of ability grouping as a classroom pedagogical practice at selected primary schools in South Africa in the wake of the inclusive education movement. Ability grouping is one of the most used grouping practices in South African schools, but little is known about how teachers view it in the wake of the policy on inclusion. Aim: This study was aimed at exploring the mainstream classroom teachers’ perceptions about the use of ability grouping in the classrooms and how it reflects on principles of inclusive education. Setting: A total of ten teachers from ten different primary schools, two from each district, were purposefully selected to participate in the study. Methods: A qualitative approach was used in this study. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, which were conducted on two occasions with each participant at their respective schools. Data were analysed thematically for content and returned to participants for accuracy checking. Results: Findings revealed that teachers perceive ability grouping as capable of facilitating interactions of learners with learning disabilities, offering opportunities for differentiated instruction and facilitating proper use of teaching and learning media. Despite its benefits, ability grouping can be viewed as contrasting with the ideals of inclusive pedagogy and perpetuating exclusion, as diverse learners are not given opportunities to learn together in the same groups. Conclusion: The article recommends that ability grouping should be withdrawn as it perpetuates incidents of learner labelling. Differentiated instruction and the provision of varied teaching/learning media should be carried out within inclusive settings to prevent incidents of learner labelling. A model for an inclusive grouping practice is proposed. Contribution: The study findings will help in improving teachers’ competencies and understanding of inclusive classroom pedagogic practices that benefit all learners at primary school levels despite their differences.
在他们进入中学时(Hallam & Ireson 1999)。背景:本文报告了一项定性研究的结果,该研究调查了教师在全纳教育运动之后在南非选定的小学中将能力分组作为课堂教学实践的看法。能力分组是南非学校最常用的分组实践之一,但很少有人知道教师在包容性政策之后是如何看待它的。目的:本研究旨在探讨主流课堂教师对能力分组在课堂上使用的看法,以及它如何反映全纳教育的原则。设置:有目的地从10所不同的小学中选出10名教师参与研究,每个区选出2名。方法:本研究采用定性方法。数据是通过深度访谈收集的,该访谈在每个参与者各自的学校进行了两次。数据按主题进行内容分析,并返回给参与者进行准确性检查。结果:发现教师认为能力分组能够促进学习障碍学习者的互动,提供差异化教学的机会,并促进正确使用教学和学习媒体。尽管能力分组有好处,但它可以被视为与包容性教学法和长期排斥的理想形成对比,因为不同的学习者没有机会在同一组中一起学习。结论:本文建议应撤销能力分组,因为它使学习者标签事件永久化。应在包容的环境中进行差异化教学和提供不同的教学/学习媒体,以防止学习者标签事件。提出了一个包容性分组实践模型。贡献:研究结果将有助于提高教师的能力和对包容性课堂教学实践的理解,这有利于小学阶段的所有学习者,尽管他们存在差异。

2018), isiZulu and Sesotho first-graders who learn mathematics in their second language (i.e. English) were assessed to investigate, amongst others, associations between their performance on numeracy and mathematics-specific vocabulary assessments. Significant associations were found between their numeracy and mathematics-specific vocabulary, Background: Early numeracy development is supported by linguistic features such as mathematics-specific vocabulary. Researchers have established a link between the amount and quality of children’s exposure to mathematics-specific vocabulary and their numeracy learning. Studies have also shown that children from low socio-economic status are less exposed to mathematics-specific vocabulary and also tend to underperform on mathematics assessments. South African children consistently perform poorly on local and international mathematics assessments. Aim: To describe associations between numeracy and mathematics-specific vocabulary of the sample who participated in the study. Setting: Participants in this study are from Quintile 1 schools and receive social grants from the South African government. Method: 133 Grade 1 and 2 children completed assessments for (1) early numeracy (MARKO-D SA), (2) mathematics-specific vocabulary (MMLT) and (3) early reading (EGRA). Correlation analyses were conducted to investigate associations between variables and developmental continuity of number concept development and reading skills were described. Results: An association between numeracy and mathematics-specific vocabulary was found. The data confirm that number concepts and reading skills develop hierarchically. Although English-speaking children performed better on the numeracy assessment, isiZulu and Sesotho speakers performed better on the reading test. Conclusion: Mathematics-specific vocabulary is a key tool for early number concept development, also in isiZulu and Sesotho. Teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) should include how number concept development intersects with mathematics-specific vocabulary. Explicit teaching of mathematics-specific vocabulary should be included in the Foundation Phase curriculum.
对isiZulu和Sesotho用第二语言(即英语)学习数学的一年级学生进行了评估,以调查他们在计算能力和数学特定词汇评估方面的表现之间的联系。背景:早期计算能力的发展是由数学特定词汇等语言特征支持的。研究人员已经确定了儿童接触数学词汇的数量和质量与他们的计算能力学习之间的联系。研究还表明,社会经济地位较低的孩子接触数学相关词汇的机会较少,在数学评估中也往往表现不佳。南非儿童在本地和国际数学评估中一直表现不佳。目的:描述参与研究的样本的计算能力和数学专用词汇之间的联系。背景:本研究的参与者来自五分之一的学校,并获得南非政府的社会补助金。方法:133名1年级和2年级儿童完成了(1)早期计算能力(MARKO-D SA),(2)数学专用词汇(MMLT)和(3)早期阅读(EGRA)的评估。通过相关分析研究变量与数字概念发展和阅读技能发展连续性之间的关系。结果:计算能力与数学词汇之间存在关联。数据证实,数字概念和阅读技能是分层次发展的。虽然说英语的孩子在计算能力测试中表现更好,但说isiZulu语和Sesotho语的孩子在阅读测试中表现更好。结论:数学专用词汇是早期数字概念发展的关键工具,在isiZulu和Sesotho也是如此。教师的教学内容知识(PCK)应包括数字概念发展如何与数学特定词汇相交。数学特定词汇的明确教学应纳入基础阶段的课程。

Background: The number of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is rapidly increasing globally and requires a supportive educational system to meet the needs of these children.Aim: The study assessed challenges faced by teachers of children with ASD in the public special schools of the Limpopo province, South Africa.Setting: The study was conducted in seven public special schools in the Limpopo province, South Africa.Methods: Face-to-face semistructured interviews were conducted with 12 teachers regarding the challenges they face in educating children with ASD. Tesch’s inductive, descriptive open coding technique enabled the researcher to analyse and report, subthemes that emerged from this qualitative explorative and descriptive data. Measures to ensure trustworthiness and ethical considerations were carried out throughout the study.Results: Analysis of the interviews revealed that the structure and systems of special schools do not support the educational needs of children with ASD. The strategic plans and policy framework on inclusive education are not being executed adequately. Learning for ASD children is not supported because of substandard infrastructure, curricula, lack of teaching material, health practitioners, unbalanced teacher–learner ratio, inadequate staff skills, school culture, shared beliefs and lack of management support.Conclusion: The study revealed challenges faced by special education teachers indicating the influence on the provision of high-quality education to children with ASD. The Department of Basic Education at the national level should monitor all special schools regularly, provide the necessary support and ensure that the complex needs of children with ASD are met.Contribution: The study contributes to understanding of the challenges faced by teachers of children with ASD in providing high quality of education and affirm sound basis of advance information to monitor and evaluate the education of children with ASD in special public schools, which is within the scope of the journal.
背景:全球患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的儿童数量正在迅速增加,需要一个支持性的教育系统来满足这些儿童的需求。目的:该研究评估了南非林波波省公立特殊学校ASD儿童教师面临的挑战。背景:该研究在南非林波波县的七所公立特殊学校进行。Tesch的归纳、描述性开放编码技术使研究人员能够分析和报告这些定性探索和描述性数据中出现的子主题。在整个研究过程中采取了确保可信度和伦理考虑的措施。结果:访谈分析显示,特殊学校的结构和制度不支持自闭症儿童的教育需求。包容性教育的战略计划和政策框架没有得到充分执行。ASD儿童的学习得不到支持,因为基础设施、课程不达标、缺乏教材、卫生从业者、师生比例不平衡、员工技能不足、学校文化、共同信仰和缺乏管理支持。结论:该研究揭示了特殊教育教师面临的挑战,表明了对ASD儿童提供高质量教育的影响。国家一级的基础教育部应定期监测所有特殊学校,提供必要的支持,并确保自闭症谱系障碍儿童的复杂需求得到满足。贡献:这项研究有助于了解自闭症谱系障碍儿童的教师在提供高质量教育方面面临的挑战,并确认了监测和评估特殊公立学校自闭症谱系疾病儿童教育的先进信息的坚实基础,这在该杂志的范围内。
