Thoughtful Strategies for Inclusive Classrooms in Brunei Darussalam
Leong, Koay Teng; Kooi, Sim Wong
International Journal of Special Education, v19 n2 p1-15 2004
A recent study has provided some indication of the types of teaching strategies that Learning Assistance Teachers and Regular Teachers in Brunei Darussalam are likely to use. This paper will describe, briefly, the background, policy and teacher education initiatives towards inclusive education, as well as some relevant aspects of the study, especially in respect of the perceived teacher efficacy, instructional adaptations and collaborative roles in inclusive classrooms. In discussing future directions, it is proposed that the thoughtful teaching paradigm is applied in developing more thoughtful strategies in inclusive education. Specific examples will be presented to illustrate how some of the proposed teaching strategies could be more creative, reflective, responsible and reciprocal in order to cater to the diverse needs of students in Brunei Darussalam.
