INCLUSIVE INTEGRATED STUDIES: SUPPORTING STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES

Аннотация

Inclusive education has become a central tenet of modern educational practice, aiming to ensure equal access and participation for all students, including those with learning disabilities (LD). This study examines the impact of inclusive integrated studies on students with LD by comparing academic motivation, self- efficacy, and well-being across three distinct groups: students with LD in special schools, students with LD in inclusive schools, and students without LD in inclusive settings. Utilizing a cross-sectional design and quantitative methods, the research highlights the significant cognitive and emotional benefits that inclusive environments can provide. Results reveal that students with LD in inclusive settings perform better across all measured domains than their counterparts in segregated educational environments, although a gap remains when compared to students without LD. These findings suggest that inclusive education, when properly supported, can foster more positive academic and psychological outcomes for students with LD, while emphasizing the continued need for targeted interventions and teacher training. Keywords: inclusive schools, learning disabilities, Academic Motivation, Academic Self-Efficacy, Well-Being.
