The Inclusion of Disability Issues and Concepts in the Jordanian National Curriculum from the Perspective of Curriculum Planning Experts
Al-Zboon, Eman
European Journal of Special Needs Education, v35 n4 p576-585 2020
This study aimed to investigate the inclusion of disability issues and concepts in the national curriculum (NC) from the perspective of Jordanian curriculum experts, and content analysis was used to analyse interviews with 15 experts. The results revealed that the curriculum experts think that the inclusion of disability issues is not a priority and does not receive enough attention from the Ministry of Education, and they described a variety of barriers to including disability issues in the curriculum. The experts agreed on the importance of the curriculum in increasing awareness of disability issues and changing community attitudes. These positive attitudes of the experts can be used to encourage decision-makers to focus on the inclusion of disability issues and facilitate a successful inclusion process. Finally, the inclusion of disability issues will help in achieving the successful inclusion of persons with disabilities in education and life in general.
