Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Enabling participation and education is the goal of inclusive education and special education. Inclusive education for all requires targeted help and support for individuals. Educational interventions and decisions about who needs what support should be based on assessment. It is also necessary to evaluate support in terms of evidence-based practice. The question remains as to which instruments, procedures and options should be used, adapted or developed to make assessment as easy and as close to everyday life as possible. Another challenge is to develop assessments that recognise not only the difficulties of the individual, but also the barriers in the educational system, in order to make educational decisions in terms of a social model of disability.
This Special Issue aims to extend the knowledge base about the development of assessments, implementation of assessment frameworks and adaption of assessments for special needs.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Development of new diagnostic tools for inclusive education or special needs;
- Implementation of frameworks for assessment in inclusive schools;
- Identification of special educational needs;
- Evaluation of special educational actions by means of assessment;
- Ethical problems and cultural considerations in assessment;
- Educational decision making;
- Using technologies in assessment and evaluation.
I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.
