In the current media landscape, digital devices seem to undermine traditional learning and reading practices. Overwhelmed by cognitive overload and a flood of information stimuli, constantly busy scrolling through touch screens, today's readers often show a "distracted", hasty and "impatient" approach; they skim-read through text without in-depth comprehension, thus risking to miss out on the full understanding of meanings. Following the increased diffusion of digital reading, both inside and outside of schools, researchers are called upon to evaluate its strengths and weaknesses, prerogatives and risks. Do the new reading modalities restructure our cognitive habits and our thinking? Is it better to read on paper or through digital texts? Does online reading require new competencies and skills? How can we teach students to read "critically" on the screen? These are just some of the questions which this volume will try to answer, benefiting from the contribution of various branches of knowledge ranging from pedagogy to media studies, from cognitive psychology to neuroscience; standing in between the two opposing views of the "myth of superficiality" and the "myth of depth", and avoiding both uncritical optimism regarding the present and nostalgic idealization of a past forever lost.

O livro Práticas Pedagógicas para mudanças de concepções e deficiências e atitudes sociais em relação à inclusão representa duas grandes contribuições para área da Educação, em primeiro lugar a necessária compreensão das quatro deficiências mais frequentes: deficiência auditiva, deficiência física, deficiência visual e deficiência intelectual. Em segundo lugar, a possibilidade de conhecermos e pensarmos práticas pedagógicas que podem com objetivos definidos a partir das sugestões de um programa informativo, propiciar o desenvolvimento de mudanças de concepções de deficiências e atitudes sociais em relação à inclusão. Os principais resultados apresentados pelas autoras, Aline de Novaes Conceição e Maewa Martina Gomes da Silva e Souza, revelam que com a aplicação de um programa informativo relacionado com práticas pedagógicas inclusivas e com estratégias didático- metodológicas, é possível constituir um ambiente escolar harmonioso e inclusivo.

Inclusive education has been phased in in South Africa since 2001, but relies heavily upon adequate support services to support learners and teachers experiencing barriers to learning and development. This book focuses on the different levels of support provided in South African education - from School-based Support Teams to District-based Support Teams through to special and full-service schools, and how these could be reconceptualised to provide improved support to learners and teachers. Current research indicates that inclusive education is being implemented in varied and fragmented forms across the country, and the point of departure of this work is that education support services need to be improved and reconceptualised to ensure better support for inclusive education.

In OECD countries the average expenditure on primary and secondary education institutions is about 3.5% of GDP. The investment in education has large implications for economic development and the proper functioning of democratic institutions, as well as overall well-being. However, clear consensus and guidance on which system leads to the best educational outcomes is lacking. This volume describes the resource allocation for compulsory and special needs education for a selection of well-performing countries and regions on PISA tests. By studying the funding systems in well-performing countries and regions the authors identify the elements in the respective funding systems that are associated with best outcomes and have the ideal characteristics to pursue particular goals of education systems such as equity and efficiency. The funding methods of primary and secondary education as well as special needs education are covered.

In Plankton Dreams,Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay crafts a proud, satiric style: the special ed student as literary troublemaker. 'Mother had always taught me to learn from circumstance,' he writes. 'Here, the circumstance was humiliation, a particularly instructive teacher.' 'But I’m not complaining,' he continues. 'Humiliation, after all, made me a philosopher.' For all of its comic effects, the book alerts readers to an alternative understanding of autism, an understanding that autistics themselves have been promoting for years. Frustrated by how most scientists investigate autism, Mukhopadhyay decides to investigate neurotypicality, treating his research subjects the way he himself was treated. Why shouldn’t the autist study the neurotypical? This artful parody of scientific endeavour salvages dignity from a dark place. It also reveals a very talented writer. It is most certainly time to study the neurotypical—his or her relentless assumptions. Perhaps by doing so we may devise a more humble and hospitable society.

Cet ouvrage présente une recherche empirique basée sur les récits d’intégration d’élèves d’une classe de développement dans des classes ordinaires du canton de Vaud. Ces élèves avaient été orienté·e·s « pour leur bien » dans une classe séparée, puis ont été intégré·e·s « pour leur bien » en classe ordinaire. À aucun moment de leur parcours scolaire, leur avis n’a été sollicité ou questionné. Beaucoup de travaux scientifiques portent sur les élèves intégré·e·s, mais rares sont les chercheurs et chercheuses qui leur donnent la parole : ces jeunes demeurent de véritables impensé·e·s de l’institution scolaire. À travers leur rapport à l’institution, aux enseignant·e·s et aux camarades, ce livre s’attache à comprendre comment ces élèves font avec les contraintes qui leur sont imposées, et les stratégies qu’ils et elles développent pour « tenir » en situation d’intégration.
