Educators’ experiences in special education institutions during the COVID-19 outbreak     

Ayse Dilsad Yakut 《Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs》2021,21(4):345-354

The COVID-19 outbreak has had a profound impact on education worldwide. As a result of the educational institutions closures, it is likely that the impact on special education would be more detrimental since special education population becomes more vulnerable in the aftermath of an outbreak. In the scope of this study, a researcher created survey was used to examine educators’ teaching experiences and their perceptions about the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on special education students. The sample included 215 educators working in the Special Education and Rehabilitation Centers (SERCs) in Turkey. Results indicated that a large majority of the SERCs were not able to continue their education during the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, there was a difference in educators’ experiences by their educational practices (normal weekly schedule, reduced schedule, most of the educational activities are suspended, and all of the educational activities are suspended). Perceived level of COVID-19 outbreak impact on special education students were found to be significantly higher for autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders, visual impairments, hearing impairments, specific learning disabilities and gifted students, respectively. The conclusion highlights the need of global collaboration, disaster preparation and management for students with special needs.  相似文献   

坐式排球运动员的选材特殊性分析     

马冬梅  乐融融  张俊  薛寒松 《天水师范学院学报》2006,26(5):72-75

坐式排球是残疾人奥运会正式比赛项目,2000年我国把坐式排球列为全国残疾人运动会正式比赛项目。经过五年的发展,我国坐式排球运动水平已进入世界六强行列。为了完成2008年北京残奥会上男女双获金牌的战略目标,当前最重要的工作就是加强二线队伍的建设,加大运动员的选材力度。经过三年的跟队研究,总结出坐式排球运动员选材的特殊性:放宽运动员的年龄界限,要求队员有较长的上体和上肢。残障程度:以小腿截肢和两下肢不等长的运动员最适合参加坐式排球运动的训练。在挑选攻手时,注意残障腿与扣球手成反向;在挑选二传手时,残障腿是右腿的运动员更适合。  相似文献   

对盲童体育教学的初步研究   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2  

刘绍曾 《北京体育大学学报》1992,(3)

我国盲童体育教学已具有一定的基础和经验。由于盲童体质总体水平较低,个体间差异较大,提高其体育教学质量,促进盲童身心发展,是很重要的。盲童体育教学内容有游戏、体操、田径、铃球、定向行走、游泳、反应练习等;教学方法有讲解法、触摸法、信号引导法、消除恐惧法、练习法、游戏法等;体育教学应从盲童身心特点出发,注重区别对待(特别是盲的程度、致盲时间的区别),循序渐进,以有利于他们的身心健康。  相似文献   

Perspectives on inclusive education: learning from each other     

《Support for Learning》2004,19(3):137-141

Many courses of study are currently available that address inclusive education and, increasingly, distance education is seen as a flexible and appropriately inclusive way to deliver such courses. In this article a team of colleagues, Kieron Sheehy, Jonathan Rix, Melanie Nind and Katy Simmons, discusses the development of an Open University course, E243 Inclusive Education: Learning from Each Other, which was launched in February 2004. The team reflects on their own process of learning from each other and from the rich network of people involved, mirroring some of the course themes in their own journeys. Collaborative learning became a key theme within the course, both as a method for teaching within the ‘inclusive classroom’ and also as the process for producing a course in a contested and challenging area. This experience allowed the team to change and develop their own perspectives on important issues and, it is suggested, allowed the course to include ways in which students could be supported in having the same opportunity.  相似文献

Special educational needs and inclusion,moving forward but standing still? A critical reframing of some key issues     

Alan Hodkinson 《British Journal of Special Education》2020,47(3):308-328

This article draws together my thinking in relation to special educational needs and inclusion that have dominated my practice. The article, through the concept of embodiment, revisits, reviews and reframes the key issues of the construction of special educational needs, inclusion and the ideology that binds them together. Through this exploration, I argue we often seem to move forward with policy while in reality standing still in ensuring the ‘success’ of all of our pupils. By critiquing and reframing taken‐for‐granted assumptions and the sacred words ‘success’ and ‘achievement’, this article maps out the future directions of inclusive education. It concludes with a reflection on my first days as a ‘teacher of special educational needs’ and my work to support Kenny, a student with cerebral palsy. This personal reflection maps out a different form of educational success that perhaps could provide a forward momentum to develop more successful inclusive education policy and practice.  相似文献   

Disability hate crime: persecuted for difference     

Sue Ralph  Carmel Capewell  Elizabeth Bonnett 《British Journal of Special Education》2016,43(3):215-232

This article briefly discusses the long history of violence towards disabled people which sets the context for an analysis of the modern‐day form of violence known as disability hate crime (DHC). People who look or behave differently to others often find themselves victims of violent crimes. The language used to describe disabled people contributes to their diminished position in society. A brief review of definitions of DHC and exploration of news media coverage of the Pilkington and Askew DHC cases are undertaken. Cultural scapegoating of disabled people is discussed. Disabled people are perceived as contributing to their own victimisation, the lack of support afforded to them by society and the failure of systems meant to protect them. As long as disabled people remain outside mainstream society, they are unlikely to achieve the same levels of respect and protection from crime that other groups in society are afforded.  相似文献   

Defining the family: towards a critical framework for families of children with disabilities     

Barry Carpenter 《欧洲特需教育杂志》2013,28(2):180-188

ABSTRACT

Family‐centred approaches are widely recognized internationally as the most ecologically appropriate way of working with families of children with disabilities. Pivotal in this approach is its focus upon the needs of the whole family, rather than only the needs of the child (with a disability). It places a significant emphasis on flexible and responsive transdisciplinary service delivery and upon parent choice and decision‐making. For the family‐centred approach to become truly effective, then, we must define what constitutes a family. Or rather ask families how they define themselves. Alongside an exploration of traditional and non‐traditional family roles, this paper challenges stereotypical notions of the family, and seeks to establish the family as the core element in any service team.  相似文献   

How much does lower body strength impact Paralympic running performance?     

E. M. Beckman  M. J. Connick  S. M. Tweedy 《European Journal of Sport Science》2016,16(6):669-676

Objectives: Development of evidence-based methods of Paralympic classification requires research quantifying the relative strength of association between ratio-scaled measures of impairment and athletic performance. The purpose of this study was to quantify the extent to which muscle strength affects running performance in runners with and without brain impairment. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Participants were 41 male runners: 13 with brain impairments (RBI) and 28 non-disabled (NDR). All participants completed a maximal 60-m sprint and a novel battery of three lower limb isometric strength tests. Results: RBI showed significantly lower strength scores compared with NDR on the more affected side in leg flexion (176 vs. 243?N), leg extension (993 vs. 1661?N) and plantarflexion (824 vs. 1457?N). Significant differences were also seen on the less affected side in plantarflexion (1072 vs. 1508?N). RBI were significantly slower in the acceleration phase (0–15?m) (3.2?s?±?0.3?vs. 2.8?s?±?0.2) and top speed phase (30?60?m) (4.3?s?±?0.6?vs. 3.8?s?±?0.3). Correlation analysis showed stronger relationships between strength and running performance in RBI than NDR; however, the correlations were not significant. Conclusions: This study evaluated measures to assess strength for the purposes of classification and found that the measures were significantly different in RBI compared with NDR indicating the tests were able to capture strength impairment in this population. This study indicates that strength may be an important impairment type to assess in this population, as impairments of muscle strength may influence the outcome of running performance in athletes with more severe impairments.  相似文献   

文学写作:生命活动的独特形式     

常小鸣 《南京晓庄学院学报》2001,17(2):86-90

“文学写作”是人类特殊的精神活动。千百年来，人类创作的文学作品浩如烟海，但对于“文学写作”这一复杂精神现象的理解和探求仍很肤浅。从“生命形式”这一独特角度，结合一些作家、作者的创作实践，从整体性、有机性、创造性等方面，探讨“文学写作”中的复杂思维活动，有助于对“文学写作”现象的新的思考和把握。  相似文献
