Recommended: Understanding and Using Inclusive Teaching

An inclusive pedagogical approach is a response to individual differences between students which avoids the marginalisation that can occur with differentiation stages designed with solely individuals in mind (Florian & Beaton, 2017). The theoretically supported teaching and learning practice chosen in the video to comply with the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical needs of a student in middle adolescents was a Kahoot quiz. A Kahoot quiz is an interactive and inclusive activity which integrates the use of technology by administering quizzes, discussions, or surveys designed by the teacher. Aside from the social, cognitive, emotional, and physical needs of middle adolescent students, this activity has been developed to consider sociocultural …show more content…

ADHD is a genetic disorder which affects areas of the prefrontal cortex as well as related circuits in the basal ganglia and cerebellum. The functions of this area of the brain include, working memory, language, impulse control, problem-solving, and planning (Wright, 2006). Affecting approximately 8 to 10% of school aged children, more commonly boys, there are three main types of ADHD. The inattentive type, the hyperactive-impulsive type, and the combination type (Enyioha, 2012). A child with ADHD typically problems with social and adaptive behaviour and generally a lot of children will also suffer from a learning disability with almost all underachieving academically (Wright, 2006). Including a Kahoot quiz in lessons if adjusted appropriately can help to support students with ADHD throughout their learning. Commonly students with ADHD will have short attention spans, Kahoot accommodates this as the activity is brief and feedback is immediate. It is the ideal activity to refocus an ADHD student on the task and ensure they are retaining the information. With a Kahoot quiz the students are required to answer questions using some form of technology, the questions are determined by the teacher. Quite often students who have ADHD have trouble remembering instructions. Therefore, if a Kahoot quiz is conducted following the delivery of instructions then …show more content…

Played in real time it is a game-based programme combining content with competition and allows students to engage with learning through technology. This is a form of an inclusive pedagogical approach which not only adheres to the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical needs of students but, also takes into account the sociocultural influencing factors present in classrooms and can be adapted to suit the diverse needs of students. The ability to modify the quiz to suit specific curriculum content as well as overcome stereotypes around sociocultural factors such as socioeconomic status makes this an appropriate learning activity for the classroom. ADHD or Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and visual impairment are two examples of students with diverse needs that are common place in today’s classrooms. With minor modifications to the execution of the activity this activity can not only be adjusted to allow for their participation but can also aid them in areas of development where they are struggling due to their diversity, whether that be social, cognitive, emotional, or physical. Subsequently, the theoretically supported teaching and learning strategy identified has been developed to consider the sociocultural factors influencing individual development and learning processes.

    1107 Words  | 3 Pages

    The first Australian Professional Teaching Standard is ‘Know students and how they learn’(AITSL, 2011). Understanding how students learn is a significant component of effective teaching (1.2 AITSL, 2011). Furthermore, effective teachers require an understanding of students physical, social and intellectual development and characteristics (1.1 AITSL, 2011). In addition, APST Standards require teachers to demonstrate both content and pedagogical knowledge through lesson plans (2.1 AITSL, 2011) with the curriculum content being structured and sequenced to facilitate effective learning (2.2 AITSL, 2011). However, it is also critical to have a repertoire of teaching strategies which are responsive to a diverse range of student backgrounds, including linguistic, cultural, religious, and socioeconomic (1.3 AITSL, 2011). An effective learning, in accordance with The Australian Curriculum and Assessment Reporting Authority, provides learners with general capabilities (knowledge, skills, behaviours and characteristics) and include understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island students learning needs and incorporate differentiated teaching methods to meet the needs of specific

    During the mindset quiz, I didn't know what to expect at first. Though I did manage to educated myself while talking it. The idea of my state of conscious awareness, the structure of meta-knowledge, and the principles were all revealed to me though this quiz. With all of that was assured to me throughout it, I would like to make use of the knowledge to further educate my own conscious awareness in the practice of my everyday applications. As of the accuracy of this quiz and most forms of testing, I am one to speculate. I perceived this quiz to not be point to point accurate but an informed idea of one's personal attitudes as a likely outcome.

  • Childhood as a Social and Historical Construction

    It is an educator’s job to embrace and acknowledge the rich diversity all the children collectively bring to the classroom, while understanding that the children do not need to be treated the same because they are not the same as each other, but be respected and accepted for their differences. Inclusion is an essential; plank in the broad platform of social justice and raising achievement is a goal which all educators much hold for their pupils, It is important that early year professionals are aware of all different ways in which society constructs (Neaum 2010) this involves taking account children’s social cultural and linguistic diversity and including learning style, family circumstances, location in curriculum decision making process so all children are recognised and valued (Nutbrown and Clough 2006)

  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

    1686 Words  | 4 Pages

    Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), once called hyperkinesis or minimal brain dysfunction, is one of the most common mental disorders among children. (Elia, Ambrosini, Rapoport, 1999) It affects 3 to 5 percent of all children, with approximately 60% to 80% of these children experiencing persistence of symptoms into adolescence and adulthood, causing a lifetime of frustrated dreams and emotional pain. There are two types of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: an inattentive type and a combined type. The symptoms of ADHD can be classified into three categories: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. This behaviour stops ADHD sufferers from focussing deliberately on organising and completing a specific task that they may not enjoy, learning new skills or information is proved to be impossible. An example of such behaviour is recognised by the report written by the National Institute of Mental Health where one of the subjects under study was unable to pass schooling examinations due to her inattentive behaviour. Such behaviour can damage the person's relationships with others in addition to disrupting their daily life, consuming energy, and diminishing self-esteem. (National Institute of Mental Health 1999) There are also secondary symptoms which are associated with ADHD, such as learning disorders, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, tic disorders, and conduct disorders.

  • Culturally Responsive Pedagogy Essay

    1150 Words  | 3 Pages

    Culturally relevant pedagogy uses inclusive practices to meet the needs of all learners. These methods include teaching that integrates students’ backgrounds and experiences into the curriculum and learning experience. In doing so, teachers using culturally responsive pedagogy must: (1) hold high expectations and affirming views of all learners; (2) provide room for all students’ to make meaningful connection to learning content; and (3) create a safe and positive classroom climate fostering respect and care for students. As we review certain approaches of implementing best practices to meet the needs of RCELD students, we must also remember that it takes long-term commitment to inclusive practices in education in order to address the inequitable structures that contribute to issues such as the achievement gap.

  • Learning Disabilities: ADHD

    1702 Words  | 4 Pages

    Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that can affect any person’s behavior and way of life. In their book, Special Education, J.Ysseldyke and B. Algozzine state that no area has experienced as much growth as learning disabilities. It is by far the largest of all special education categories. Enormous changes in the last century have changed the way society treats children with disabilities. Psychologist William Lee Heward affirms that in the 1800’s there were few public provisions dealing with adults or children with special needs. Psychologists researched in order to discover the characteristics of a person with ADHD and the effects it has on human behavior. Teachers, parents, and other people have an important role in dealing with a person who has the condition. Special education today is an area of growing interest and of continuing controversies.

    I’m a firm believer in maximizing the educational experience through effective classroom design to maintain conflict prevention, increasing time on task and being an added tool for content material; but now I also believe effective classroom design can be used effectively to build a inclusive arena for students to learn in. By consciously focusing on improving the inclusiveness of culture into my design of the classroom, student’s can develop a stronger link to the classroom and school community. This can allow students who may have felt culturally excluded from their environment to develop a stronger connection to their learning and improve their performance not only as academic learners but as members of their school

  • Video Games as a Learning Tool

    1461 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are several negative stereotypes associated with video games and those who play them; some of these may often hold true. However, there are plenty of learning opportunities in video games. While the direct purpose of some games is to educate or train, other games that do not directly have this purpose can still become a learning experience for the player. As Ntiedo Etuk, president of the educational video game company Tabula Digital said, “The traditional view of video games has been that they are distractions from the task of learning” (Electronic Education Report 1). Video games are an effective tool for learning and retaining skills both inside and outside the classroom environment. The basic cycle of game play--the introduction to the game, game play, collaboration, improvement of these between each round, and evaluation at the end of the game (Klievink and Janssen 159)--are nearly parallel to the traditional classroom learning cycle of reading a textbook or listening to a lecture, taking a quiz, studying, focusing on items missed on the quiz, and taking a test or exam. Within this cycle, there are many opportunities to develop and perfect both educational, life, and occupational skills.
