Perceptions of Special Education and Vocational Education Teachers in Georgia Toward the Full Inclusion Philosophy (Under the direction of Jay W. Rojewski) The purpose of this study was to assess the perceptions of Georgia secondary special and vocational education teachers toward the philosophy of full inclusion. A questionnaire was developed to determine perceptions toward full inclusion. Underlying dimensions that comprise perceptions and differences in perceptions based on discipline area, educational level, prior training with disabled, and perceived success in teaching students with disabilities were also explored. The questionnaire was mailed to an equal allocation stratified random sample of 722 secondary special and vocational education teachers in Georgia. Findings were based on data collected from 487 respondents. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the perceptions of the respondents toward full inclusion. A principal-components factor analysis was used to identify latent dimensions underlying the 30 scale items that measured perceptions. A MANOVA and a post hoc ANOVA were used to analyze the differences in perceptions of full inclusion based on discipline, education, training with disabled, and perceived success in teaching students with disabilities.

One mold charters can't break
  • These public schools could be swamped by often-costly and inflexible federal regulations
  • By Marjorie Coeyman (coeymanm@csps.com)
    Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor NEW YORK The United Charter School is designed to serve 1,200 children in a low-income neighborhood in Baton Rouge, La. It is widely supported by area residents, who are almost entirely African-American. It's in compliance with the Louisiana state charter law. See csmonitor.com's black history project Yet the school's doors remain shut. The reason: United Charter runs afoul of a federal desegregation order requiring a racial balance in the parish's public schools. The US Department of Justice argues that the school will not attract enough white students. The case has created a situation some call absurd. "You won't find 10 people in this parish, black or white, who are in agreement with what's being done," says Jim Geiser, one of United's organizers.

    INTRODUCTION
    A virtual environment (VE) or virtual reality (VR) is an environment or a reality in which persons are exposed to realtime three-dimensional computer simulations that stimulate their visual, auditory, and/or tactile senses. VR applications in the medical and business world are becoming increasingly commonplace. ( SGI , NASA simulate, 1999, May 4; Visteon virtual reality , 1999, February 12; Moon and Tudhope Proctor , 1999) For example, commercial airline pilots have trained in flight simulators for many years, and harbor pilots routinely pit their skills against simulators that mimic harbor conditions. In addition, medical personnel practice a variety of simulated procedures until they become proficient enough to practice on actual patients ( Hoffman Tuggy ,1998). Trainers in these fields reason that, while VR training is expensive, it is cheap in comparison to the loss of life due to an improperly performed medical procedure, a plane crash, or a ruined ecosystem from an oil spill.

    CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY: A PSYCHOLOGICAL VIEWPOINT Nia Pryde The concept of criminal responsibility appears to indicate the capacity of the individual to be responsible for his or her criminal acts, ie, acts which law has defined as criminal. In psychological terms, this would imply. - That the individual is capable of perceiving that certain behaviour on his or her part constitutes a criminal act, ie., the act in contrary to the law and, hence, punishable. - That s/he can choose to respond differently in the situation. What we are discussing here is an aspect of social cognition that is commonly referred to as moral reasoning or moral judgment. The development of moral reasoning in the child has
    been considered by a number of investigators, the most influential of which have been Piaget and Kohlberg. Piaget described stages in children's reasoning about right and wrong from moral realism (3 to 6 years of age) to moral reciprocity (emerging 9 to 11 years). The latter stage is characterized by making judgments about reciprocity, ie., rules are accepted but can be questioned and changed by agreement. By way of verification, the general development progression from moral realism to moral reciprocity has been replicated by a number of investigators; however, current opinion indicates that more factors may need to be considered in order to understand fully the development of moral reasoning.

    Marginalised Voters and Groups with Special Needs
    file info In every election, and indeed in every possible voter education programme, there are special groups who require particular attention. There are certain groups that have emerged with some frequency. These groups include:
    • election staff voters abroad absentee voters refugees and internally displaced persons nomads and migrants voters in remote areas minorities disabled people home and hospital bound voters traditional prisoners political prisoners security forces women young and first time voters
    Their listing here should not blind educators to the possibility that there might be other groups that require special attention. These groups will vary from country to country. As societies become more atomised by progress, and more conscious of the special needs and human rights of groups as opposed to individuals, it is likely that more groups will be identified. In transitional circumstances, the interests of certain groups will be identified more closely, and these groups will merit special attention during elections. The rule of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, for example, resulted in large numbers of "emigre" Cambodians who had to be accommodated in elections supervised by the United Nations. In the case of Bosnia, the Dayton Accords required that refugees and internally displace persons by accomodated in elections organized by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The founding democratic elections in South Africa were deemed to be fully inclusive, and arrangements had to be made for a
