Vadodara: The mechanism developed by fellow postdoctoral from M University will open the way to make education more inclusive.
Dr.
Hemendra Mistry, who works as an ICSSR Postdoctoral in the Faculty of Education and Psychology of MSU, has been awarded two copyrights from the Indian government for his research on teacher training in inclusive education in India.
At present, the competence and attitude of teachers towards inclusive education in this country is mapped by considering the narrow meaning of inclusive education – that children with educational needs and / or special defects (send).
But the competence and attitude of future teachers towards children from other less fortunate groups such as ownership of minority groups, culturally and social retarded by communities such as tribes in remote areas, marginalized children, roads and poor children or from lesbian, transgender, intersex, transgender, intersex Queer Community (LGBTIQ), not mapped.
Mistry, who completed all his studies with hearing loss, has developed two felt scales – competency perception for scale of inclusive education (p-cies) and teacher’s attitude towards the scale of inclusive education (taties).
“Unlike other scales that focus on the narrow meaning of inclusive education, namely children by sending, P-Cies and Taties consider broader meaning and cover all lucky groups including send,” said Mistry, who designed the scales under guidance Professor Dean of the Faculty of RC Patel.
The scales tested in 317 prospective teachers found very reliably and apply in measuring teacher competencies and attitudes.
“The results of the study will contribute to the application of 2020 national education policies,” said Mistry, the recipient of the UGC postdoctoral fellowship in 2015-16.
At present, it works for postdoctoral research both.
“The syllabus is currently focusing more on disability and ignoring other disadvantaged parts.
Also, this is more theoretically and does not provide practical exposure to the pre-position teacher.
Even after sleep, they (teachers) are hesitant to join a variety of classrooms,” said Mistry.
“Scales will help in identifying the gap between current teacher skills and their training needs.
Teacher training can focus on these fields and provide in-service training to the teacher,” said Mistry.
Bachelor of Research is one of the seven educational subject candidates in this country to accommodate the Postdoctoral Fellowship Radhakrishnan UGC-DR S in Humanities and Social Sciences.
Previously, he had completed postdoctoral research on the ‘construction and standardization of talent talent tests of inclusive education’ under the guidance of Professor S C Panigrahi.
