Classroom Observation
Special needs
people are part of our society. Our
government concerns, cares of them and beliefs that they have the rights in
education and work. So that recently they involve them in school. In this report I will talk about the case I choose
then I will reflect on the questions included in the questionnaire after that I
will describe what I observed inside the classroom.
Section one:
In this report I chose a girl in
grade 5 she has difficulty in seeing and her eyes effect from Blurred vision
she is from Hajer elementary and secondary school for girls. It is government school in Al Ain. There are many people helped me in this
research such as social worker in school, special education teacher and psychologist. In Hajer School I noticed that there are many
cases of special needs but I choose this case. The implemented in this school is
full inclusion and the special needs student study with student most or all of
the time in the regular classroom.
Regular teachers and Special education teachers both are responsible of
teaching these students.
Special education teachers,
psychologists, Audiologists, social worker and Speech- languages pathologists
all these are help in teaching special needs students in Hajer School.
There are many tools, aids and
services that are provided and currently available in Hajer school and are used
to teach special needs students such as special keyboard, Smart Board, Data
Shows, Electronic Magnification Kits, Portable Magnifiers(Far View). All these tools are used to facilitate
students learning. Moreover there is a resource room in the school that helps
students in learning.
Hajer School’s building is not
designed to facilitate the movement of students with special needs, for example
in Hajer School there are two sisters they cannot walk, one of them is using wheelchair
and the other one is using sticks it difficult to them to reach their classes
or move around school. There is no elevator or any other facilitation for them.
Hajer School’s teachers and school
professionals are receiving many training courses and educational workshops to
improve their experiences to teach students with special needs from ADEC.
In my opinion I belief that
including student with special needs with normal students is better for them to
dealing with normal people to feel that they are not different. But also they
have the rights to provide for them all facilitation and prepare for them the
school building that are has all facilitation for special needs students.
Section two:
When I took the permeation from teachers
to attend their classes I told them that I came to observe the special needs
student but without she notices that I came to observe her case or evaluate her. I want her to act normally.
I observed one student who is very
excellent student but she has optical case. I observed her in English, math, and Arabic
classes she is the same. I told her teachers that I noticed this student is
better than normal student although, she had optical problems she strive and
work hard. They said; “she is an
excellent student and she does not like to treat her as a special needs case.”
In English
class the teacher asked students oral questions to explain and discuss the
lesson she gave them clear oral and written questions. The teacher used verity
questions and different examples of rules to make the students understand very
well. The teacher is highly responsive to students, she showing professionalism
in dealing with students in the class regarding to their level of English and
their diversities. And our case participation was good.
I noticed the same thing in Arabic class; she engaged student with optical
problem for each activity by gave her clear instructions. She represented the
lesson content in the P.P presentation and worksheets. She gave students the
lesson activities in group and asked them to complete the assignments
individually. But she put this student
in groups and encouraged them to help each other and sharing the information. When
the teacher asked them to write the sentences, she gave them more time to think
about the answer because she understand that student with special needs need
more time to do the work.
But in
Mathematics class was a little bit different. It was hard for her to follow the
instruction of math’s teacher directly because math is not depending in oral
instruction only. But she stills a quite good. The teacher put the students in
group and each group contains different abilities of students in order to help
each other. Teacher use the oral and written language to communicate with the
students. She gave the students a clear rules and she explained them many time.
I noticed that all teachers copy the
activities for her in A3paper size to be clear for her. Also I saw with her
small device she used to maximize the words size and change the back ground
color to be clearer for her
I learned many things from this
research firstly; I learn how to observe my student in classroom. Secondly, I
knew some cases of special needs through this research. Thirdly, I learned how
to deal with special needs student. Fourthly, l knows the best environment in
class or in the home is very important. Finally, I hope to know how to deal
with special needs students when I will be teacher in the future.
