Subject: Call for Papers : Special Issue : Inclusive Education : listening to students' voices
*Mediterranean Review of Educational Research *
*Call for Papers for Special Issue : Inclusive Education: listening to
students' voices.*
• How inclusive is inclusive education?
• To what extent are disabled students benefitting from a quality
and holistic education that enables them to develop their potential to the
maximum?
• Are disabled students considered to be full members of their
schools and of their communities?
• Are they being effectively prepared for participation in the
mainstream of society in adulthood?
These are some of the questions the answers to which can help us gauge the
effectiveness of the inclusive education policy since the signing of the*
Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action on Special Needs Education* in
1994 and the adoption of the* United Nations Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities* in 2006.
The Department of Disability Studies together with the Department of
Inclusion and Access to Learning of the University of Malta is issuing this
Call for Papers for a special issue of the *Mediterranean Review of
Educational Research* to be published in December 2017 titled *Inclusive
Education: listening to students' voices*. This Call for Papers seeks to
present answers to these questions from the viewpoint of disabled students
themselves about all levels of education from pre-school to further and
higher education, as well as lifelong learning.
Therefore, the papers for this Special Edition can either directly present
the voice of disabled children and adults about their experiences of
inclusive education, or present research that has been conducted with
disabled children or adults about their past or present experiences of
inclusive education.
Abstracts of 300 words should be submitted to Dr Anne-Marie Callus on
[log in to unmask] by Monday 29th February 2016.
