Fostering Inclusion in Education

Beschreibung

This edited volume brings together researchers and educators who present a balanced blend of theoretical and practice-based considerations about different pedagogies in the field of Progressive Education (including Philosophy with Children, Reggio Children, Philosophy with Children Hawaii, Dialogic Education etc.). To change future education for good, inclusive pedagogical theories and practices must prove themselves to be efficacious in the unpredictable, multifaceted dynamics of real classrooms. By focusing on ideological and structural dynamics that can undermine or promote inclusion or providing future directions that can foster emancipatory, democratic, socially-just and evidence-based forms of teaching and professional practice, the chapters in this book explore current and emerging practices, experiences, and problems to equip both researchers and teachers with a wide range of possibilities and tools to face the challenges of future education.
Enrico Postiglione holds a PhD from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy. Since 2016 he builds and runs Philosophy for Children communities of inquiry with both children and adults in complex educational contexts and analyses their effectiveness. His research focuses primarily on social/ linguistic/educational inclusion and the interactions between philosophy of mind and the nature of educational processes.

“This book considers the meaning, nature, and possibility of inclusive education through a series of provocative essays written from a wide range of social, political, and cultural perspectives. Exploring the philosophical and the pedagogical, with dialogical inquiry a common theme, the essays analyze such diverse topics as the aims of education, the support needed for teachers working to develop inclusive classrooms, peer assessment, and the conditions necessary for systemic change in education. The book will be an important resource for scholars, educators, students, and others working to advance genuine inclusion in classrooms and schools.”
