Let Our Voices Resonate: Amplifying the Inspiring Stories of Teachers and Their Journey Towards Inclusive Education for Learners with Disabilities

Lelita R. Gonzal | Johnny Bantulo

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to describe the teachers’ experiences with the inclusion of learners with disabilities. This study utilized the multiple case study approach of qualitative research. An in-depth study was explored delving into the problems encountered specifically by four special education teachers on the inclusion of learners with disabilities. The study formulated three categories: experiences, coping mechanisms, and insights learned by teachers in handling learners with disabilities. Teachers’ experiences revealed the emergent themes of nurturing guidance, inclusive adaptation, remarkable moments, effective learning, and navigating classroom dynamics. The coping mechanism identified the themes of individualization of instruction, patience, and understanding, use of rewards and motivation, parent support, use of visuals and creativity in teaching, and time management and resourcefulness. The insights category yielded the themes of responsibility, balancing personal and professional relationships, fulfillment in impactful teaching, holistic student-centered teaching, and promoting passion and purpose in teaching.
