(2019) Preparing teachers for inclusive education in Bhutan. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This research examined pre-service and beginning teachers' understandings of inclusive education, confidence and preparation for teaching in inclusive classrooms. The study was a descriptive case study with twelve pre-service and twenty beginning teachers in six inclusive schools. Research findings inform five recommendations: enhanced training and development of the teachers, enhanced policy and practice including with community, improved teaching and learning materials, better articulation of duties and responsibilities of all teachers, and transforming class size. This study will make a significant contribution to research on inclusive education in South West Asian countries, as well as to the achievement of inclusive education policy ideals in Bhutan.
