Is this good inclusive teaching?

With video analyses and school oberservations from theory to practice reflection

Abstract

In the article, a seminar concept is theoretically and didactically de-rived. Its aim is to promote student’s professional vision towards inclusive teaching. The interdisciplinary seminar focuses on good inclusive teaching from the perspectives of pedagogical psychology, school pedagogy, and special education. Two teachers from two of the three disciplines are teaching the seminar and integrate the third perspective. In a first step, the students work out their subjective theories about good inclusive teaching. The subjective theories are confronted with theories and research results of the three disciplines involved. On the basis of the theoretical inputs, the students develop a grid for observing inclusive teaching. Parts of the grid will be tested and further developed on the basis of videos. Finally, the grid is used for observations in “good practice” schools. In a concluding booster session, the grid is reflected on the background of the experiences gained during the observations.
