What can psychology offer inclusive education? Traditionally,
special education has looked to psychology for many of its
theoretical resources and practical strategies. While those seeking
to promote more inclusive education have tended to see psychology
and psychologists as part of the problem by providing a rationale
for segregation. However, in practice many psychologists today are
developing inclusive ways of working, and are paying attention to
psychological theories that underpin inclusive education.
Psychology for Inclusive Education reframes the contribution of
psychology in terms of its relevance to inclusion and will show how
psychological theories of learning and human development are
compatible with inclusive education. Part 1 explores psychological
theories relevant to understanding inclusive education and Part 2
looks at how psychology can contribute to promoting more inclusive
education in practice. Chapters cover: how psychologists can
collaborate with teachers for inclusive solutions Vygotsky's
theories of learning and their significance for inclusion the
challenge of developing pedagogies for inclusion sociocultural
understandings of learning in inclusive classrooms the role of
emotion in learning and inclusion cooperative learning and
inclusion the challenges and tensions of inclusion and high
standards for schools the practice of dynamic assessment as an
inclusive alternative to IQ social justice and inclusive psychology
Bringing together a highly distinguished list of international
contributors from the UK, USA and South Africa and including
practising educational psychologists, this book will link theory to
practice in schools and classrooms. International in focus and at
the very cutting edge of the field, this is essential reading for
all those interested in the development of inclusive education.
