Offers theoretical and practical discussion on the inclusion of students with disabilities and learning impairments.
Dialectic Special Pedagogy offers a theoretical and practical discussion on the inclusion of students with disabilities and learning impairments within learning environments and beyond. It explores how social relations and social activities can support the personal and social transitions of children, young people, and adults in need of specialised support.
Written by academics based in Australia, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the UK, the contributors take a cultural-historical and dialectical approach as a starting point for special pedagogy. This approach enables special pedagogy to rise above biological-essentialist, environmental-social-training, and purely sociological approaches while focusing on development as a psychological as well as a social phenomenon.
The chapters cover a range of topics including deaf education, primary and secondary disabilities, play, mediation, incarcerated youth, and mental illness. The contributors draw heavily on psychologist Lev Vygotskyβs work and his notion of the zone of proximal development.
