When asked what inclusion means, most people immediately think
about relatedness: being accepted by a group or having the
opportunity to belong. However, there are multiple needs for
inclusivity that one goes in search of including self-integrity. If
any stimuli threatens this integrity, a person may struggle to
recover it, even if the price is to become the best gang leader, to
follow the principle that it is better to be the leader of the
dunces than to have the reputation of a "good for nothing."
Individuals may suffer from unrecognition and thus avoid a
situation in which they would be perceived as incompetent,
especially when their potential has been previously ignored. This
pain has often been accompanied by verbal aggression, violence,
delinquency, or other criminal activities because of the need to
show, at any cost, that they are skilled somewhere, even if it is a
socially depreciated area. This theory has shown itself in school
violence and students who partake in bullying, criminal acts, and
delinquency. But giving individuals the opportunity to develop and
display their competence keeps them related to pro-social behavior
instead of pushing them to excel in anti-social settings.
Decreasing School Violence, Bullying, and Delinquency With
Epistemic Inclusion identifies which factors lead to prosocial
behavior, why people start to behave antisocially, and how simple
actions can change others' visions and goals in both positive and
negative ways. This book employs the theory of epistemic inclusion
in educational settings and how to increase it. Divided into four
sections, this book covers the importance of finding a solution for
violence, bullying, and delinquency; what epistemic inclusion is;
how schools can make epistemic inclusion work; and implementing
procedures. This book is a valuable reference tool for in-service
and preservice teachers, administrators, psychologists, therapists,
counselors, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students
interested in how the theory of epistemic inclusion can be
implemented in educational settings.
