1. Discuss your own concept on Special Education
Answer:
The term “special education” encompasses educational programs that serve children with
mental, physical, emotional, and behavioral disabilities. In practical terms, special education
guarantees a “free, appropriate public education” to children with disabilities and mandates that,
to the “maximum extent appropriate,” they be educated with their nondisabled peers in the “least
restrictive environment.” (Defined by the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or the
IDEA)
Personally, learners with different abilities and potentials are the objects of learning in
special education focusing mostly on their special abilities thus, ensuring secure and quality
education for all. Children in special education meet their unique needs and able to provide
greater opportunity for them to help them grow and become independent individuals.
2. What is special needs education?
Answer:
Special Needs Education is education for students with disabilities, in consideration of their
individual educational needs, which aims at full development of their capabilities and at their
independence and social participation. Special Needs Education is carried out in various forms,
including in resource rooms, in special classes (both are in regular schools), and in special
schools named “Schools for Special Needs Education”.
Formerly, special schools had been established separately by types of disabilities, as “Schools
for the Blind”, “Schools for the Deaf” and “Schools for the Intellectually Disabled, the Physically
Disabled and the Health Impaired”.
Schools for Special Needs Education are schools for children with comparatively severe
disabilities. Those schools comprise four levels of departments, namely, kindergarten,
elementary, lower secondary and upper secondary departments. (The elementary and the lower
secondary are compulsory education.) In Schools for Special Needs Education, children learn by
special curriculum, being surrounded by rich number of teachers and various facilities and
equipment which meet the needs of those children. Therefore, the expense per student in Schools
for Special Needs Education is about 10 times as that in regular schools.
3. Choose one Outcome based education you think is the best for Students with
Specific learning disability (discuss)
Answer:
Outcome-based education that fits best for me is that OBE does not specify a specific method
of instruction, leaving instructors free to teach their students using any method. Instructors
will also be able to recognize diversity among students by using various teaching and
assessment techniques during their class. OBE is meant to be a student-centered learning
model.
In this way, students are engaging more on their unique potentials and explore their own
capabilities which are delivered into the three types of competence:
 practical: knowing how to do things, ability to make decisions
 fundamental: understanding what you are doing and why
 reflective: learn and adapt through self-reflection; apply knowledge appropriately
and responsibly.
4. Choose one category of Disabilities and make your own outcome-based lesson for
your chosen category
