The Impact of General Education Teacher’s Classroom Management and Teaching Strategies to Learners with Special Educational Needs in an Inclusive Classroom

Abstract

Good thing special education isn't exactly what it used to be any more. Children with difficulties may learn alongside their classmates in the same classroom owing to inclusive education. Teachers are learning to work together more effectively in order to meet the different needs of their pupils as inclusion has become more frequent in schools. Handling special needs students in a typical classroom, on the other hand, might be difficult. A general education teacher's perspective on classroom management and inclusive education is examined in this research. Seven general education teachers in the Philippines were interviewed online and observed in the classroom as part of this qualitative study. In this research, which used a thematic analysis approach, general education teachers' experiences with the conduct of students with special needs were disclosed, the classroom management and strategy used, as well as the change in behavior after the teacher's approach was used. The participants' interpretations of these three themes in light of their own experiences add to the knowledge and skills that may be used in the field of special education.
