Inclusive education – the process of assimilation or emergence?

Abstract

The article attempts to analyze issues related to inclusive education perceived as a process of multi-faceted, multi-factorial complex determined by many factors.During considerations, author assumes that the process of shaping inclusive education can be according to two models. Model of assimilation in which both of the groups: disabled and non-disabled tries to integrate without planned and less effective adaptation measures, without preparation to functioning in common environment.Emergent model, in which education is quite a new quality, created on the basis of preparation, refines educational strategies to students with special educational needs. On the basis of research, the author draws attention to the quality of some selected factors of the educational process, i.e. competences of teachers or evaluation of the type of interaction between teacher and student. The author stressed with anxiety the barriers that hinder the execution of a complex process of inclusive education. The conclusion of the discussion is the proposal for the implementation of inclusive education by learning dialogue strategies, as complex activities of teachers, students and other dialogue partners. It will permit education to run as an emergent model and take the form of new, increasingly complex but also as integrated structure.<br/><br/>
