Educational Inclusion as Action Research (Inclusive Education)
Educational Inclusion as Action Research - Inclusive Education
Author:
?One of the most accessible features of the book is the incorporation of vignettes of real-life action research enquiries, and in some cases, drawing on the field notes an journals kept by the teachers themselves. There is much to welcome in this book?

The book begins by linking government policy with social justice and inclusion issues and argues that inclusion is currently promoted via a democratic political process, which needs to be complemented at a professional level through the demonstration of democratic and inclusive procedures in the investigatory process itself.
It argues for:

* inclusion related to individual educational contexts
* inclusion as responsive to change and improvement at any level
The book will appeal to postgraduate students, teachers and educational professionals who need a basis for developing inclusive practice.
