First examiner: Dr P Scordis Second examiner: Ms N Best Refer to at least THREE academic
sources to write your essay in the form of in-text references. Include a reference list of all the
sources you have referred to at the end of your essay. Your discussion should include the
following: An introductory paragraph in which you outline the topic and your understanding of
the question. Three body paragraphs in which you: 1) Discuss how the personal and professional
experience of educators, as described by Meier and Hartell, contribute to a disconnect between
their perceptions and the diverse backgrounds of their learners. 2) Explain why this disconnect
between educators’ perceptions and students’ backgrounds might be problematic for fostering an
inclusive learning environment in South African classrooms.
Introduction
This essay examines how educators’ personal and professional experiences can create a gap
between what teachers think about their learners and who those learners actually are — and why
that gap matters for creating inclusive classrooms in South Africa. I begin by summarising key
findings from Meier and Hartell about teachers’ perceptions and dispositions; I then explain how
those perceptions produce a problematic disconnect with learners from diverse linguistic, cultural
and socio-economic backgrounds; finally I discuss the practical consequences for inclusion and
suggest directions for practice and teacher preparation. The discussion draws on Meier &
Hartell’s analysis of teacher perceptions, research on inclusive education in South Africa
(Engelbrecht), and language-and-power work that shows how classroom language choices
reproduce advantage (Cummins). Semantic Scholar+2SpringerLink+2
