The
education in the Philippine right now is facing some challenges not only it’s
facilities and other necessary services not only for the teachers but also in
the disabled learners. In the classroom, they are normally seen integrated into
the traditional classroom components of students without disabilities and the
teachers. Teachers are having a hard time to think of ways to cope up these
learners to get along with some lesson. Since they were merged with other
students, teacher was trying to find other way for them to be catered and not
left behind. When time of rationalization, students are expected to have
understand the basic level of understanding especially in the stage where in
they are need to comprehend the lesson and other concepts. This area of
learning is crucial not to mentioned that learners are having different curve
or style of coping the knowledge. There were times that teacher does a lot of
flexible way of method and then they came to the point that some student can’t
follow what should be done. That’s were a lot of intervening activities come
in. I have noticed in one of my interviews in one of the public teachers in
Olongapo, Zambales, teachers don’t a proper training on how to handle those
students with special needs, teacher are struggling to level their action to
the traditional student and their classmate with having special needs. They
intend to mainly focus the lesson to the student who having difficulty in
understanding and make it more interesting in order for to get the lesson
nevertheless, they would still stick on the same level of understanding. I know
Department of Education is trying to get more information through it reports on
basically this problem be fixed. But different scenarios are still prevailing
based on some assessments. These challenges were seen in a lot of aspect in
terms of classroom management. The challenge, how these students can be more
engaging in term of fulfilling the lesson in a daily basis. As this task
require how can I suggest that a classroom is more inclusively good and
conducive to those who are not of attention.
Some studies and articles shown
that using an inclusive language on all forms of discussion and narrative
especially in the classroom is considered part of the inclusivity in school.
Educators are expected to make the process welcoming by ensuring all handbooks,
forms, and other communications are inclusive of all family structures and
gender identities. Teachers are should be made and build a positive and
welcoming classroom environment, using technologies like bulletin boards that
compose of colorful design and creative materials that show the life of every student
and other people regardless of color, race, sexual and gender identities are
encourage to form in order for them to feel nice and comfort. By this action
the teachers are promoting and showing respect and diversity among the members
of the class. To address the issue of learning difficulties on understanding
each of the lesson, I must suggest that creating a more flexible way teacher
are good. In this manner, the teacher can use variety of teaching method of
course teacher expected that he or she know every style of his or her class
members. Teacher needs to do it and catered to different learning styles and
their abilities. This can include, visual aid with a clear detail of the lesson,
they can add some animations and moving objects like in PowerPoint
presentations. Also, they can more group work so that other introvert student
can participate to the lesson and classroom activity, this is much exciting for
them to anticipate various and complicated lessons. Hand on activities and
Technology based resources like TikTok and YouTube are encouraged to adopt.
Millennials are so fond now adays in terms of social media, so this can be better
to add in the flavors of learning in the classroom. Also, this may encourage
their openness and participation using the technology and cyberspace. A great
way for them to learn. It also shows their eagerness and participate in every
classroom activity. A guidance may need to implement just to avoid to much using
of social media. Other suggestion would
be teachers should provide accommodations and modifications to meet the unique need
of each student. This may include extra time especially those students who
having a hard time to follow the lessons. Teacher can open their other timeslot
of helping the students on their respective assignments, and written works
activities. Other way for that, teacher can also work with seating
arrangements, he should put those students who having a hard time to see the
blackboard and the information showing in front of the class and other
assisting them to use the computer and other emerging technologies. Teachers
can present a more classroom participation in all class members and de show a
lot of encouragement. Giving them a lot of way to understand every topic can acquire
more understanding. Also, it allows different perspective to be shared in the
class. Multiculturalism should be given to the context of each classroom
management since different students came from different class and group of
society this may include cultural response to each lesson so that other
learners especially from the outside community may participate. Incorporating
cultural references and traditions into the curriculum and avoiding
stereotypes. Lastly, my other suggestion is that, collaboration could also help
in ensuring the response and development of the learners. As we all said, “it
takes the whole community to raise a child” means, not only reciprocating ideas
of every mentor for the students but extending the hand and influence for the
learners and the community are also welcome on this kind of method to become
more inclusive.
In conclusion, being diverse and
open for a lot of opportunities to every kind of students are more good compare
to a non-responsive type of the classroom to the needs of people who are need
more attention. Inclusive education is to create an environment that is fully
welcoming and responsive to all students needs, regardless of background,
abilities and disabilities.
