Special education and inclusion: contributions from research
Keywords:
Special education, inclusive education, Includ-ED Project, Critical Communicative Methodology, social inclusion, social exclusionAbstract
This article gathers evidences —obtained from research— that justify the choice for a kind of education that includes students with disabilities. Previous research projects have demonstrated the limitations of isolating students with disabilities in special schools and classrooms, in terms of academic results, and therefore, in later possibilities for their total inclusion in society. The research that has been carried out as part of the Includ- ED Project —the only integrated project on school education that extensively analyses the contributions of different educative systems and practices to social inclusion and exclusion in Europe— have allowed us to identify practices of inclusion that are being used successfully in schools that attend kids of both genders with disabilities, favoring their education in conjunction with the rest of the students, and therefore, allowing them greater learning opportunities
