Inclusive Education Questions and Answers

Q: Which one of the following is not the model of Integrated Education ?

The one that is not a model of integrated education is the special model.Integrated education places children with disabilities in ordinary schools, supported through models such as the resource room model, the itinerant model, the cluster model and the cooperative model.Teaching such children separately in special schools is the opposite of integration, so the 'special model' does not belong to integrated education.

Q: The ICF model focuses on which of the following components of Disability ?

The ICF focuses on Activities and Participation.The WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (2001) moves away from a purely medical view of disability. It describes functioning in terms of body functions and structures, activities and participation, along with environmental and personal factors.Medical descriptions and the prescriptions of doctors or psychiatrists belong to the medical model the ICF sought to go beyond.

Q: Vrunda unnecessarily speaks very fast. The reason is that she has ................. problem.

The reason is a speaking problem.Speaking unnecessarily fast is a disorder of the rate and fluency of speech, known as cluttering, in which speech is so rapid and irregular that words run together and the listener has difficulty following. It is classed among speech (fluency) disorders and is helped by speech therapy.A hearing problem more often leads to loud or poorly articulated speech. Learning disability concerns difficulties in reading, writing or arithmetic, and mental retardation affects general intellectual functioning; neither is shown simply by speaking fast.

Q: The prominent feature of a five years old child whose IQ is less than 24 is being ..................... .

Such a child is entirely dependent on others for movement.An IQ below about 25 falls in the profound level of mental retardation (intellectual disability). Children at this level usually have very limited motor development and sensory and physical problems as well, so they need constant care and supervision and depend on others even for moving about.Understanding what others say, adjusting socially and especially reading independently are well beyond what a five-year-old at this level can do. Some understanding of simple speech is possible in the mild and moderate ranges, not at the profound level.

Q: The behaviour asking questions continuously is primararily seen in .................... students.

Continuous questioning is chiefly seen in gifted students.Gifted children are marked by intense curiosity and a wide range of interests. They want to know how and why things happen, ask searching questions, and are not satisfied with superficial answers. Lists of the characteristics of the gifted, used by teachers to identify them, place this questioning behaviour near the top.Mentally retarded children usually show limited curiosity and attention. Visually impaired children may ask about what they cannot see, but continuous questioning is not their characteristic, and learning disabled children have specific difficulties in academic skills rather than unusual curiosity.

Q: Ainscow’s (2004) social model is based on the premise..................

Ainscow's social model rests on the premise that all learners can experience difficulties in school.Mel Ainscow, a leading writer on inclusive education, argues that difficulties in learning arise from the interaction between learners and their schools, not only from deficits within individual children. Any learner may experience difficulty at some time, so schools should look at the barriers created by their own curriculum, teaching and organisation and improve them for everyone.The other options repeat the individual or medical model that Ainscow rejects, which locates difficulties in a few learners, in specific disabilities or in mental retardation. The social model begins from the opposite premise, that difficulty is a possibility for all.

Q: Braille language is used in.....................

Braille is used in schools for the blind.Braille is a system of raised dots, devised by Louis Braille in the nineteenth century, that represents letters, numbers and symbols in cells of six dots. It is read by touch, with the fingertips, so it enables people who are blind or severely visually impaired to read and write.Schools for the deaf and for children with speech difficulties use sign language, lip reading and hearing aids, not Braille. Schools for children with intellectual disability use simplified and practical teaching methods. Braille meets the needs of those who cannot see print.

Q: A child who has unusual difficulty in understanding oral instruction may have the following impairment :

The child may have a hearing impairment.Oral instructions reach a child through hearing. A child with a hearing impairment may hear the teacher only partly or not at all, may miss words or sounds, and may therefore have unusual difficulty in understanding spoken instructions, while he copes better with written or demonstrated ones.Visual impairment affects reading and seeing, not hearing spoken words. Cerebral palsy chiefly affects movement and posture. Intellectual disability affects understanding generally, written as well as spoken, rather than oral instructions in particular. A specific difficulty with oral instructions points first to hearing.

Integrated education places children with disabilities in ordinary schools, supported through models such as the resource room model, the itinerant model, the cluster model and the cooperative model.

Teaching such children separately in special schools is the opposite of integration, so the 'special model' does not belong to integrated education.

In which year was the Rehabilitation Council of India Act passed?

A.1991
B.1992
C.1995
D.1997

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB PGT - 2023,

Answer: B

The Rehabilitation Council of India Act was passed in 1992. The Act set up the Rehabilitation Council of India as a statutory body to regulate the training of professionals who work with persons with disabilities and to keep a register of them. It was enacted in 1992 and came into force in 1993.

1991, 1995 and 1997 are wrong years. The year 1995 belongs to the Persons with Disabilities Act of that year, a different law, which is a likely source of confusion, so the Rehabilitation Council Act is the one dated 1992.

Orthopaedically handicapped students should be ideally accommodated in..................school.

A.General
B.Open
C.Special
D.Integrated

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2019, SET Exam - 2019,

Answer: D

Orthopaedically handicapped students should ideally be accommodated in an integrated school.

Children with orthopaedic (locomotor) disabilities usually have normal intelligence and learning ability. What they need is physical access (ramps, accessible toilets, suitable furniture) and some support, not a separate curriculum. Placing them in an integrated school, with other children and the necessary facilities, allows them to learn and socialise normally.

A special school separates them from their peers without educational need. An open school is a distance-learning arrangement, not a place of accommodation. A general school without the integration arrangements may lack the physical access and support they need, which is why the key prefers integrated.
