Teacher Training and Education in the GCC by Naved Bakali,Nadeem A. Memon Pdf

Schools of Education are emerging academic units in higher educational institutions in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations. Most of these teacher training programs are in their infancy stages. Modern day educational discourse across teacher training programs globally, including the Middle East and in the GCC, have predominantly focused on student-centered approaches to teaching and learning. This approach to teacher training is infused with critical scholarship and marks a shift away from positivist approaches to educational scholarship. Integrating critical scholarship in GCC teacher training programs brings about a number of challenges, as this approach to education is a departure from traditional cultural and social norms for schooling in the region. This multidisciplinary volume highlights some of the challenges and complexities that inevitably arise from this paradox. Professors, researchers, and specialists working in the GCC have contributed to this volume with the intent of empowering educators with authentic and contextualized research and insights to advance collective understanding of the complexities and challenges of teacher education and training in the GCC. Ultimately, this work will serve as a practical tool and resource that can be employed by schools of education to provide authentic insights, strategies, and research to further develop teacher training in the GCC and globally.

Inclusive Phygital Learning Approaches and Strategies for Students With Special Needs by Efthymiou, Efthymia Pdf

For “A School for All” to be a reality, changes need to be made to the education system regarding culture, policies, and practices within schools. Inclusive education requires more than just a standard educational provision. Teaching and education have been extensively researched during the COVID-19 pandemic, and yet there is little research that has addressed the practices that can improve phygital teaching effectiveness in inclusive environments. Following the move to online teaching programs in the pandemic, children with special needs faced even greater challenges, including digital exclusion and the threat of being left behind, as well as the inability of teachers to teach them appropriately due to an absence of appropriate assistive equipment, internet access, accessible materials, and poor preparation. Inclusive Phygital Learning Approaches and Strategies for Students With Special Needs provides current, relevant information concerning inclusive classroom teaching approaches during COVID-19, which are still implemented post COVID-19. Covering topics such as inclusive classroom teaching, phygital teaching, and the digital divide, this book is essential for pre-service and in-service teachers, inclusive educational leaders, academics, curriculum development specialists, and those who are interested in inclusive phygital practices for students in special education.
