Q

What are the arguments of those in favour of full inclusion?

A
  • The concept of full inclusion involves immersing students with exceptionalities into a general classroom. There are many arguments to support full inclusion. One argument to support it has to do with labelling being perceived as harmful. Labelling can be harmful because the person with the exceptionality may be mislabelled, and may internalize the label, which may negatively affect self perception. A second argument is that full inclusion fosters collaborative learning which fosters understanding and interpersonal skills for working with a diverse group of people. Full inclusion may also help to build tolerance to accept people who are different. People with an exceptionality should be viewed as any other minority group whose difficulties become a problem for the rest of society which can foster discrimination and prejudice- and segregation could increase. The evidence to conclusively support special education is not fully developed therefore morals should dictate rather than specific evidence. Thus, a number of arguments can be used to support full inclusion.
