Abstract Our reflections result from studies conducted since the last decade on Darcy Ribeiro's educational projects as a politician and manager of educational initiatives. Through these studies, we ...seek to situate, analyze, and interpret the “makings” of Darcy's political and educational thought. By inventorying his production, his relationship with Anísio Teixeira, and his implemented projects, we focus on one of his main experiences in the educational field: the I Special Education Program (I PEE), a guiding document that defined the conception and actions from the cultural educational field of Leonel de Moura Brizola, the Rio de Janeiro governor elected in 1983. We moved along Darcy Ribeiro's journey, punctuating the construction of one of the most significant and considerable educational proposals carried out in Brazil, which widened Darcy Ribeiro's contribution to the history of education in Rio de Janeiro.
Résumé Les réflexions présentées ci-dessous résultent d'études menées, depuis la dernière décennie, sur les projets éducatifs réalisés par Darcy Ribeiro au cours de sa carrière d'homme politique et de gestionnaire de acquis éducatifs. À travers de telles études, nous cherchons à situer, analyser et interpréter les actions de la pensée politique et éducative de Darcyn. Ainsi, en inventoriant sa production, sa relation avec Anísio Teixeira et ses projets mis en œuvre, nous avons entendu l'une de ses principales expériences dans le domaine éducatif : le I Programme d'Éducation Spéciale (I PEE), un document directeur qui définissait la conception et les actions. Du domaine éducatif culturel du gouverneur élu en 1983, dans l'État de Rio de Janeiro, le gaucho et piéton, Leonel de Moura Brizola. Nous avons suivi le parcours de Darcy Ribeiro, ponctuant la construction d'une des propositions éducatives les plus vastes et les plus intenses réalisées au Brésil, qui a ainsi permis d'élargir la contribution de Darcy Ribeiro à l'histoire de l'éducation à Rio de Janeiro.

Summer Enrichment Workshop (SEW) is a clinical experience in the teacher preservice training program for gifted and talented (GT) master's degree interns at the University of Alabama. This mixed ...design study investigated the effects of the SEW clinical experience on interns' preparation to teach. Quantitative analysis demonstrated a statistically significant difference in the effects of SEW on the interns' self-appraisals of knowledge and preparation to teach Talents Unlimited higher-order thinking skills. In addition, qualitative data corroborated the statistical results and demonstrated that SEW was a high-quality clinical experience that had a positive effect on interns' learning and teaching.
In 2002, the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) identified six standards for accrediting teacher education programs, which then prompted many programs to restructure ...and incorporate the new standards (NCATE, 2002). These standards included: candidate knowledge, skills, and dispositions; assessment system and unit evaluation; field experiences and clinical practice; diversity; faculty qualifications, performance, and development; and unit governance and resources.
U ovom radu su predstavljeni rezultati početnog istraživanja čiji je cilj identificirati motivaciju i zadovoljstvo polaznika Posebnog programa obrazovanja pomoraca koji se izvodi na Sveučilištu u ...Zadru.
Program se izvodi u šest modula po mjesec dana, zbog očekivanja da će takva organizacija nastave omogućiti pomorcima da pohađaju nastavu u razdobljima dok nisu na plovidbi.
Rezultati ispitivanja motivacije pokazali su da se 33% pomoraca upisalo na zahtjev poslodavca, dok kod ostalih za upis na program prevladavaju motivi želje i novih mogućnosti (želja za većom plaćom, napredovanjem i/ili stručnim usavršavanjem, ostvarenje novih mogućnosti). Rezultati ispitivanja zadovoljstva ukazali su na visoku razinu zadovoljstva uvjetima izvođenja i organizacijom nastave u šest modula po mjesec dana.
Sudionici istraživanja predlažu moderniziranje nastavnih sadržaja, kako bi se približili aktualnim potrebama pomorske profesije. Posebni program obrazovanja pomoraca primjer je priznavanja prethodnog učenja.
Po mišljenju 62,5% ispitanika, njegovi sadržaji uspješno se nadograđuju na znanja stečena radnim iskustvom.
Tim flew to Austin with his siblings in late July, eighteen days after Pam and I were married. For the first month of our marriage, we had all five children with us—seventeen-year-old Verena, ...sixteen-year-old Tim, fifteenyear-old Larissa, twelve-year-old Lizzie, and eleven-yearold Ben.
We all had some adjustments to make. Tim had spent most of the last year in locked facilities where all his daily routines were regulated. Now he decided when to eat, sleep, bathe, and come and go. Austin was a new community for him, culturally different from both central Connecticut and the northwest. Pam was also a
Investigated whether it is possible to identify the potential rehabilitant or nonrehabilitant at time of placement in a special education program for socially maladjusted boys. A random sample of ...boys designated as rehabilitated (N = 30) and as nonrehabilitated (N = 30) comprised the normative group. The cross-validation group consisted of 30 rehabilitants and 30 nonrehabilitants randomly selected. 10 intellectual functioning variables were included in the multivariate predictive analysis using the linear discriminant function. Discrimination between rehabilitants and nonrehabilitants of the normative group was possible with p < 001. Socially maladjusted Ss in the cross-validation group were assigned to the rehabilitated-nonrehabilitated dichotomy. Identification of the rehabilitants and nonrehabilitants was possible with 75% accuracy.
Purpose
Recently with increased legislative support and evidence-based studies on the importance of education for children with disabilities in China, special education programs and intervention and ...rehabilitation services have received more and more attention. There are limited studies on special education programs for children with disabilities located in China’s rural areas. This paper aims to select one special education program in China’s northeast rural area with a special focus on its curriculum design, accommodative services and teacher qualifications. Recommendations were provided on how to modify the curriculum to meet each child’s special needs, increase social interaction among children, increase teacher qualifications and improve teacher family collaboration.
Design/methodology/approach
The participating program serves orphans and children with disabilities between 6 and 18 years old and provides them 9-year free education, along with free textbooks, uniforms, food and boarding. Currently, there are approximately 100 students and 40 teachers, one director and one nurse. The teacher/staff and student ratio is 1:3. Data were collected through classroom observation and interviews. Afterward, the interview data were transcribed. Data were analyzed following Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six-step approach. The researcher reviewed the collected data, then coded the data and reviewed, refined and revised the codes, and finally themes and sub-themes were identified with quotations that support each theme/sub-theme.
Findings
The identified themes are accommodations, education plan and curriculum and teacher qualifications. Accommodations include, but are not limited to, visual and hearing aids. National unity textbooks were adopted, along with national syllabus objectives, as a guideline for instruction and evaluation of child progress. Teachers also adjust curriculum-based students’ individual needs. All teachers hold an associate degree in special education, and those who teach specials hold a higher degree in the specialty area. Given that there is no speech language pathologist, physical therapist, or occupational therapist, teachers with rich working experiences in the related field serve as special professionals.
Research limitations/implications
The current research reports the program design, accommodations for children with disabilities, curriculum and syllabus, parent/guardian role and teacher qualifications in the selected school. Given that the current study focuses on only one school located in the rural area of China’s northeast, it may represent special education programs in rural China, but it is hard to be generalized to provide a big picture of China’s special education programs in more developed, metropolitan areas.
Practical implications
The selected school offers accommodative services to students with disabilities; adjusts its curriculum to make it developmentally appropriate; and offers educational, medical and rehabilitation services to promote student development to the maximum. The selected school should improve teacher quality, increase social interaction between children with and without disabilities, modify the curriculum to cater to individuals with different severities of disabilities and increase family professional collaboration.
Originality/value
There is limited study on special education programs for young children with disabilities in China’s rural area. The current study fills this gap and studies a special education school that offers services to children as young as six years old located in a small town in the northeast of China. The special focus of the study includes program curriculum, accommodations, rehabilitation and intervention services and teacher qualifications in this program.
