Course content

This course is an introduction to the school as an arena for democracy and inclusion, but also exclusion.

Students will be introduced to education for social justice and special needs educations as traditions within pedagogy. Furthermore, central and complex issues in these fields are highlighted in dialogue with the students' experiences from work in schools. In this dialogue, topics such as the relationship between adapted education and special education, normality and deviation, valuation of all students and assessment practice will be important.

The course discusses knowledge about the teacher's role and autonomy in interdisciplinary collaboration around the student and inclusion in school-home collaboration. The students' experiences with this work in the school form the basis for joint exploration of opportunities to qualify and improve their own practice in these areas.

The course provides insight into relational, institutional and didactic dimensions in the course's focus areas, with emphasis on the prevention of social and professional exclusion through inclusive learning processes.
