Doing Research on Education for Children with Disabilities in Ethiopia Using Grounded Theory by Margarita Schiemer Pdf

Education for children with disabilities is an important and current topic on an international level. However, it becomes especially interesting when looking at countries of the majority world (or so-called developing countries) and matters of social inclusion and exclusion. Disability and poverty are often interconnected and lead to a vicious circle of exclusion, poverty, and low living standards. This case gives insight into a recent research study that was conducted on barriers and facilitators that children with disabilities are experiencing in their educational environments in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. By using a constructivist approach to grounded theory, it was possible to capture different perspectives on the situation of the children and get a deep insight into existing problems and supportive aspects regarding education. During this research project, I learned a lot about the positive sides as well as the challenging aspects of grounded theory. Having to deal with a different language and culture and different traditions, it was especially hard to find my way in the beginning of the field research. However, applying grounded theory gave me the possibility to clarify issues I did not initially understand. It enabled me to go deeper into the narratives where I found it necessary. This helped me to create a coherent account of the complex phenomenon I studied.

The Right to Education of Children with Visual Impairment in Addis Ababa by Husen Nasir Pdf

Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Pedagogy - Inclusion, grade: A, language: English, abstract: "Education for all" is a broadly accepted maxim according to which the right to education should be availed to everyone regardless of any discrimination whatsoever. This maxim has got its way to various international human rights instruments UDHR being the pioneer one. All the instruments but the CRPD has contained provisions with regard to the right to education in a broader context making everyone to be the beneficiaries thereof. The latter, however, contextualized the right to persons with disabilities wherein children with visual impairment (CWVI) are categorized. Ethiopia has ratified all these instruments thereby making them integral parts of its law. By doing so, it has committed itself to work towards the realization of the right to education to the CWVI. As a move to that effect, it has formulated various policies and strategies confirming such right to the group on top of which provide the need to deliver special assistance to the group as their need so requires. Despite all this, however, CWVI are not enjoying such right of them in the required level be it in the country in general or in Addis Ababa in particular (which is the focus of this study). This being the case, this study undertakes to examine the hindrances attributed to the low-level access of the right to CWVI as well as reasons that could account for the low quality of education given to the group. After doing so, it attempts to come up with the possible solutions to be put in place to tackle such hindrances.

INCLUSIVENESS IN EDUCATION by Mr. Gurmessa Chala Gemeda , Dr. Pavan Kumar Yadavalli , Ms. Yimegnushal Kebede Legesse , Mr. Abera Abebe Yadessa , Mrs. Dinke Aga Hirpa & Mr. Rabira Bekele Luta Pdf

In the contemporary world, the audiences of learners in all types of educational institutions, ranging from kindergartens to universities, tend to become more and more diverse. Because of the differences between various learners, it becomes increasingly inadequate to utilize the same instructional methods for all the students. Therefore, a need arises to use instructional methods and techniques which would be either flexible enough to suit all students or would allow for adapting instruction to individual learners. For educators in diverse contexts, it is not only socially virtuous but also pedagogically valuable to proactively anticipate and incorporate students’ heterogeneous backgrounds, abilities, and interests into teaching and course design. This assignment highlights three educational frameworks—Inclusive Pedagogy, Differentiate Instruction, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL)—that emphasize the educational importance of imbuing all students with a sense of belonging in the classroom and curriculum. Drawing from these approaches, the assignment suggests a series of concrete strategies for educators to enthusiastically harness diversity and amplify student learning.

Second International Handbook of Urban Education by William T. Pink,George W. Noblit Pdf

This second handbook offers all new content in which readers will find a thoughtful and measured interrogation of significant contemporary thinking and practice in urban education. Each chapter reflects contemporary cutting-edge issues in urban education as defined by their local context. One important theme that runs throughout this handbook is how urban is defined, and under what conditions the marginalized are served by the schools they attend. Schooling continues to hold a special place both as a means to achieve social mobility and as a mechanism for supporting the economy of nations. This second handbook focuses on factors such as social stratification, segmentation, segregation, racialization, urbanization, class formation and maintenance, and patriarchy. The central concern is to explore how equity plays out for those traditionally marginalized in urban schools in different locations around the globe. Researchers will find an analysis framework that will make the current practice and outcomes of urban education, and their alternatives, more transparent, and in turn this will lead to solutions that can help improve the life-options for students historically underserved by urban schools.

The Socio-Economic Challenges of Students with Disabilities in The Case of Maraki Campus, Ethiopia by Habtamu Wondimu Pdf

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Sociology - Work, Education, Organisation, , language: English, abstract: The general objective of this study is to examine the socio-economic challenge of students with disability in the University of Gondar in the case of Maraki campus. According to world report on Disability, more than one billion humans or 15% of the world’s population stay with some shape of disability, of whom, nearly 200 million ride considerable difficulties in functioning. In the years ahead, incapacity will be an even larger situation because its incidence is on the rise. This is due to getting older populations and the greater danger of disability in older people as nicely as the global increase in continual fitness prerequisites such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and mental fitness problems. People with disability are considered ugly, and they are not welcome in society. People say they have the works of the spirit in them. Because of society‘s influence, a family with a child who has disability considers this child as a burden. In most places, a family hides their child for fear of being outcasts in the village. They would not consider them as useful to the community. Some think they are intellectually impaired too. In most cases, disabled children grow up learning from their parents that they are not worthy of mixing with other kids their age. The children accept the norm and believe they are cursed and under the punishment of God. People with bodily disabilities have skilled slender chances to enjoy college environments or practices due to fewer priorities given by way of academic providers to problems that might also guide the disabled in particular in developing nations in areas such as curriculums, instructing and studying materials, infrastructure, unique programs such as sports and games, environmental troubles and the normal high-quality of education. According to the Education for All (EFA) Global Monitoring Report 2010 reaching the marginalized youngsters with disabilities remains one of the most important problems leading to huge exclusion of the group from nice schooling.

Valuing Disabled Children and Young People by Berni Kelly,Bronagh Byrne Pdf

Focusing on contemporary childhood disability issues, and relevant to the lived experiences of disabled children and young people and their families, this book addresses themes such as transition, identity, education, inclusion, and service provision. It also includes insightful contributions on participatory research and practice with disabled children and young people, including an emphasis on capability, voice, and communicative spaces for those with life limiting and more severe levels of impairment. The contributions to this book are grounded in a commitment to the rights of disabled children and young people, as explicitly recognised under the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child (1989) and Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006). However, the authors also draw our attention to the detrimental impact of economic austerity and conflict on the extent to which these rights are being realised, encouraging further consideration of issues relating to social justice, inter-dependence, and participation. Addressing the diversity of disabled children’s lives across service domains and international contexts, this book provides an evidence base to support the realisation of the rights of disabled children and young people. This book was originally published as a special issue of Child Care in Practice.

Handbook of Research on Revisioning and Reconstructing Higher Education After Global Crises by Hai-Jew, Shalin Pdf

Global challenges, in a chaotic context, are ever in play, emerging and receding in time. At the present moment, the global challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in several years of mass-scale challenges and lost learning and socialization from K-12 to higher education for many. The pandemic has been a high consequence and continuing event. Universities and colleges have been under unprecedented budgetary strain. Despite all the immense and irreparable human losses, humanity is moving forward with lessons from the past several years. The Handbook of Research on Revisioning and Reconstructing Higher Education After Global Crises explores how global higher education will recover from the global pandemic at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels, and how they will re-establish their relevance for teaching and learning, research and innovation, and social contributions. Covering topics such as campus life, online library services, and Indigenous students, this major reference work is an essential resource for educators and administrators of higher education, government officials, students of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
