Question 1
1.1.1 What is inclusive learning environment? (3)
An inclusive learning environment is a school or classroom where students of every
ability level receive teaching in the same place.
This means that particularly able students learn alongside those who have special
educational needs, such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and attention deficit disorder.
Inclusive learning and teaching recognise all student's entitlement to a learning
experience that respects diversity, enables participation, removes barriers and
anticipates and considers a variety of learning needs and preferences.”
1.1.2. Explain the transformative approach. (2)
Mezirow's transformative learning is defined as “an orientation which holds that the
way learners interpret and reinterpret their sense experience is central to making
meaning and hence learning.” Put in simple terms, transformative learning is the
idea that learners who are getting new information are also evaluating
The purpose of transformative education is to empower learners to see the social
world differently and through an ethical lens.
They will challenge and change the status quo as agents of change. The status quo is
upheld by current power relations.
1.1.3. Why do we have broader approach to support? Provide three reasons for broader
approach

, 1.1.4. Differentiate between disruptive behaviour and learning difficult. Provide one
example for each (5)
Disruptive Behaviour
Disruptive behaviour in children refers to behaviours that occur when a child has
difficulty controlling their actions.
Disruptive behaviour can be presented by learners in several ways, ranging from
wanting control and power in the classroom, being consistently late, talking when
they shouldn't be, arguing with the teacher unnecessarily, challenging the teacher on
certain issues, ignoring instructions, etc.
Examples of disruptive behaviours include temper tantrums, interrupting others,
impulsiveness with little regard for safety or consequences, aggressiveness, or other
socially inappropriate acts.
Learning difficult
A learning difficulty is a condition that can cause an individual to experience
problems in a traditional classroom learning context.
It may interfere with literacy skills development and math/maths and can also affect
memory, ability to focus and organizational skills.
There are many different types of learning difficulty, some of the more well-known
are dyslexia, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyspraxia and
dyscalculia.
A person can have one, or a combination. As with learning disability, learning
difficulties can also exist on a scale.
The five top learning disabilities are:
Dyslexia. ...
ADHD. ...
Dyscalculia. ...
Dysgraphia. ...
Dyspraxia
