Reflection On Value Orientation

727 Words3 Pages

Introduction:

In this reflection, I will discuss my value orientation, how I arrived at it and how my placement influenced it. I will also reflect on all my disability placement experiences and how they might have impacted on my teaching metaphor.

I conducted my disability placement in Limerick city, in a school for students with special needs or learning difficulties. The school has a large number of students as it caters for both primary and secondary curriculums. It is a mixed school and the ethos focuses on the development of the whole person. Therefore, P.E. is regarded as a very important subject for students.

It was a very unique experience to teach P.E. in a school for students with special needs. At parts it was challenging but this helped me to grow and develop as a teacher.

My Value Orientation now:

When I was first introduced to value orientations in second year, I was unsure on which orientation was appropriate for me as a teacher. I hadn’t thought much about my values, I just knew I wanted to teach and I wanted students to enjoy my lessons. This would have been my major goal for my second year teaching practice, to include an element of fun in all my lessons in order to motivate my students to participate and learn. My classroom management in second year was weak so I tried to incorporate fun activities to help with behavioural problems in my class. ‘Enjoyment is a critical motivational component as it is the most stable predictor of commitment and

  • Argumentative Essay Full Inclusion

Full inclusion, which is the belief that disabled students should be incorporated into regular classrooms, regardless of whether they meet conventional curricular standards or not, is the major point of controversy. Full inclusion embraces the idea that disabled students should undertake regular education and only be excluded in a class when important services cannot be offered to them (Nelson, Palonsky, & McCarthy, 2010).

    The transition from primary to post-primary education is one of the most drastic of those changes, and schools need to be equipped to accommodate that transition. For special educational needs, many steps need to be taken in order to familiarize both parties with the conditions they live with and how success can be met. In order for students to feel comfortable and make the transition as smooth as possible, there are many things that schools can do to ensure this success. In order for special education pupils to succeed, schools need to create inclusion in the classrooms and with peers, so that SEN pupils can interact with other students and experience real world classroom time. For students with disabilities, schools need to take some necessary steps in order for a beneficial transition to take place.

    The small number of students allowed the teacher and paraprofessional to have a more personal relationship with the student and understand their needs better. A weakness of the self-contained setting is the differing levels of exceptionalities. There were about five students that I feel could have been in an inclusive classroom. The other five still had differing disabilities that made it difficult to meet each of their needs. I think it had to do with the clumping of grades together.

    Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress. Working together is success” (Brainy Quote). From here, the concept of inclusive education, including students with and without learning disabilities as peers in the same classroom, originated. The aim of this type of education is to get students with learning disabilities involved in the society. Teachers and fellow students will also provide help for students with disabilities; in this way, students with learning disabilities will be motivated to study as they feel that they are a part of a group instead of being isolated in special places.

    Inclusion is vital in helping to provide quality education for SEN pupils. “above all, inclusion is about a philosophy of acceptance where all pupils are valued and treated with respect” (Carrington & Elkins, 2002). Inclusion is often thought to be the location of your education but is more often than not about the quality of one’s education. The location has little to do with inclusion but more to do with where you feel you belong, some SEN children feel they cannot truly belong in a large mainstream school (Campbell, 2005). Sociological perspectives of inclusion often emphasis equality, respect, participation in decision making, rights, and collective belonging.
