Introduction

  • Children with Special needs are also considered
    to be those children in the classroom labeled as
    Special Ed Children. The major idea today is
    trying to separate special ed children and
    their learning needs from the normal children
    and their learning needs. Today many parents,
    children, and teachers are trying to incorporate
    special ed students in the normal every day
    classroom routines, lessons, and normal everyday
    activity. With this they are trying to create
    inclusive classrooms where children with special
    needs are able to get the help they need in the
    same classroom as normal students with the
    object of trying not to label or segregate them.

TOPIC analysis
5
  • Inclusive classrooms were found not to be the
    best solution from others opinions and research.
    These classrooms were seen to not have been able
    to give the children with special needs the
    greatest opportunity to receive all of the help
    and full personal attention they need to achieve
    up to their academic goals and standards. Also it
    was said that these children would also take away
    from the attention that the normal kids in the
    classroom would need to receive. It was also
    concluded that the special needs children would
    be disruptive with loud out bursts, and
    uncontrollable behaviors that would disrupt the
    learning process.

  • The academic principal in which education of
    children with special needs falls under is Social
    Sciences.
  • The subject area in which it falls is Education
    (L-LJ), and Special (LC).
  • The Library of Congress Subject Headings which
    were most effective in identifying material on
    the Feinberg Library Catalog or World Cat were
    Education and Special.
  • The most effective Boolean Searches I found most
    effective for my topic was the following
  • Teach and styles and classroom special needs
    and (children or behavior types) (learning or
    styles) and lessons

7
  • The databases that I found most useful and
    effective for my topic were the Subject Database
    Menu and Lexus-Nexus Database Menu.
  • My experience identifying subject headings and
    key words was a pleasant experience. Once I
    learned how to identify and apply using subject
    headings and key words it made finding research
    easier and a less miserable experience for me.
    The way I found most effective to identify
    subject headings and keywords was by finding the
    main idea or root words in sentences and then
    trying them out in the databases that I thought
    were the most effective for that particular
    search. The process that worked best for me was
    identifying that correct words and applying my
    knowledge from class to choose the right search.

BOOKS
  • Giuliani, George A. The Big Book of Special
    Education Resources. Thousand Oaks, CA Crown
    Press,2006.
  • The Big Book of Special Education Resources was a
    book written by highly qualified doctors, and
    medical professionals about people and children
    who have special needs. This book also discusses
    their everyday behaviors, learning styles, and
    everyday activities. The perspective this book
    give is about how each person with special needs
    needs the proper care and treatment. The
    interesting finding in this book included lots of
    pictures, charts, and maps of various findings of
    a person who has special needs.

10
  • Schwartz, Diane. Including Children with Special
    Needs. Westport Conn. Greenwood Press, 2005.
  • The authors of this book are highly qualified
    specialists of many backgrounds that helped
    establish ways to include children in the
    classroom who have special needs instead of
    segregating them. These specialists have given
    solutions and other options in order to make sure
    these students are included. They believe that
    students with special needs deserve the
    opportunity to be involved and included in the
    regular everyday classroom settings and
    activities. This book also included many
    pictures, tables, and reports of studies and
    observations of children with special needs.

11
  • Powell, Stuart. Special Teaching in Higher
    Education. Sterling, VA Kogan Page, 2003.
  • This book was written by specialists who studied
    how students should be treated and monitored in
    the academic environment. It explained studies of
    different types of children with special needs in
    the academic environment and how their behavior
    was during a normal classroom activity. They gave
    the perspective that students with special needs
    should not be placed in a classroom with normal
    students because of their disruptive behaviors
    and the extra attention that they need in the
    classroom, which would take away from the
    attention the normal children in the classroom
    need daily. In this book it showed statistics of
    how a child with special needs disrupted everyday
    classroom activities.

Periodicals
  • Burrell, Sue. Special Education and the Juvenile
    Justice System/Washington, DC Dept. of
    Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of
    Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention, 2000.
  • This article was about the rights people with
    special needs have. This article was credible
    because it was a government source. It also gave
    examples of how people were mistreated and
    different cases that were brought to court in
    order to protect the rights of people with
    special needs. It stated laws and ways to help
    protect your rights if you are a person of
    special needs.

13
  • Oconnor, Rollanda E. Teaching World
    Recognition Effective Strategies for Students
    with learning difficulties. New York Guilford
    Press, 2000.
  • This article was written by teachers who were
    concerned that children with special needs were
    not getting enough attention that they needed in
    the classroom. These teachers came up with ideas
    and strategies that separating these students
    from normal students would be the best benefit
    and they would get all the special attention they
    would need. They used studies to prove this
    theory and statistics.

  • Greenfield, Susan. How will we nurture minds of
    the future? Times Educational Supplement
    4684. 5/5/2006 21.
  • This article discusses the uses of technology in
    education of the 21st century. This article
    focuses on how technology can help children with
    special needs. They wanted to adopt technology
    that will ensure that the classroom will fit the
    child, and the growing trend for technology. An
    in-depth consideration of the future of learning
    and education is needed. In this article they are
    looking out for the best needs of children who
    are special. Here they are just making
    observations of what would be the best for the
    future and childrens needs.

  • The authors of the article Making Differences
    Ordinary in Inclusive Classrooms are well
    qualified in giving the information in this
    article. There is accredited information from a
    professor of the department of special education
    and other professors of the doctorate and
    professional level. The major idea in this
    article was about not secluding special education
    children (kids with special needs) with normal
    children ( kids without special needs.) It
    talked about the major idea of getting all the
    kids to work and learn together in one
    environment, not making it known that some kids
    need more help then others. Here they have five
    tips about how to include everyone in a lesson
    and how to prevent these students from being
    secluded from the everyday classroom environment.
    The audience for this article would be anyone who
    wants to learn about special education students
    in the classroom environment and people who want
    to learn ways to include every child in the
    everyday learning experience. The authors are all
    in favor of including the children with special
    needs and having them perform the same daily
    class schedule as normal students.

Internet
  • Department of Education and Skills. Special
    Education Needs and Disabilities. 1995-2007.
    March 13th 2007. http//www.teachernet.gov.uk/
  • This web site was a reliable source to use
    because it was a government site. It provided
    reliable information about the laws and
    regulations for children with special needs in
    the school system. Also this site was give credit
    by teachernet and it provided contact information
    if you had any questions or wanted further
    information about the site. It also gave extra
    links which provided further information and
    research if you wanted it.

17
  • National Association for Gifted Children.
    Special Education Jobs and Information. March
    11th 2007 http//www.unixl.com/
  • This web site was not one of the best to use for
    my project. It provided basic information but was
    a commercial site which was not credited and did
    not provide a contact if needed. This site gave
    very little knowledgeable information and just
    touched upon the basics without going into full
    detail.

18
  • Louisiana Public Broadcasting. Dealing with
    Diversity Teaching Children with Special
    Needs. March 13th 2007. http//www.netaonline.
    org/
  • This web site was a fairly good one to use to
    find resources. It was better to use because it
    was an organization but it had only one view and
    opinion about teaching children with special
    needs. It also gave an e-mail address to contact
    them if you had any questions, needed to get a
    hold of them or wanted further information.

19
  • The internet was very effective in finding
    information and valuable information on my topic.
    It was obvious that I needed to make sure that I
    used a good internet source such as a government
    site, or an organization other than a commercial
    sites that did not have valuable information.

Non-Print
  • Human Senses videorecording Princetown, N.J.
    Films for the Humanities and Sciences, 2003.
  • This video is a good source of viewing how
    special needs children react in different
    environment settings. It gives a visual
    perspective on the life of a person who has
    special needs. With this is gives a better view
    on why or why not children should be placed in
    different classrooms other than inclusive one.

21
Self Evaluation
22
  • The kind of resources that seemed to be better
    than others for this topic were magazine and
    journal articles. I choose these as the best
    material sources because that provided basic
    knowledge of the topic, statistics, and different
    views about each topic. The internet worked well
    for my project but it did not have the specific
    information with statistics or charts that would
    have been needed to be included for more
    evidence. Books and periodicals also worked well
    for finding information on my topic sometimes
    there was an over amount of information that was
    unnecessary for my topic. Over all I believe that
    periodicals were better for my topic than any
    other material. There was great quality and
    quantity of periodicals that resulted in a
    massive amount of information on my topic. I
    liked the fact that periodicals had a wider range
    and views of my topic, this way I was able to see
    both sides of my topic and choose what view I
    believed was correct.

23
  • What I learned about my topic was how children
    with special needs are segregated from normal
    children in the everyday classroom environment.
    This also led to different ways and strategies
    into including them into everyday classroom
    activities trying not to make them segregated
    and know that they are different from the other
    children. Also I learned the reasons why children
    with special needs were not included, and why
    people and parents did not want to develop
    inclusive classrooms. Mostly this was do to their
    sudden out bursts and the constant attention they
    would take away from other students because they
    need constant attention to develop their
    educational goals.

24
  • I will apply what I learned in the class in the
    future by helping with my future research papers
    and assignments in the near future. Also I can
    apply it in my future professional career when I
    become a teacher and need to look up information
    on future projects.

25
  • What I learned about the research process is how
    to figure out and determine how to use the
    different data bases and search engines to use. I
    also learned how to make an annotation and cite
    my sources. Learning what plagiarism is also
    helped me to in the future knowing what to quote
    and what not to quote. I also thought Boolean
    searches were very helpful in finding and
    locating information and making the process
    quicker and easier. Learning to cite information
    in the proper form was very useful because I was
    able to establish where I got my information from
    quicker.
