Author(s): Sadiqa Jissan Nabila
Abstract: The practice of teaching in education has developed into more than an aspect of learning and acquiring knowledge. With the increasing demand for education, policymakers have become aware of the right to education for learners with special needs. Since education emerged as a symbol of economic and social stability in many developed nations, various sections are added to the folds of educational attainment i.e., formal education, informal education, and non-formal education. Currently, special education is also viewed as a crucial aspect of formal education in international settings. However, in the context of Bangladesh, the scenario of special education has been conflicting. This research aims to focus on evaluating teaching / pedagogical approaches that are applied in special-needs classrooms or institutions. Although the government of Bangladesh along with the Ministry of Education (Moe) passed laws in the constitution of the country, to ensure specialized education for learners with disabilities from the primary stage of education, factors like classroom management, Inclusive education (IE), and efficient teachers’ training are still in the grass-root level in many parts of the country. One of the major causes behind this drawback is the lack of motivation and teachers’ research responsibilities towards the effective implementation of special education in Bangladesh. Therefore, to understand the current status and impact of special education in the shadow of the education system, this research attempts to explore the facilities and teaching approaches that special education facilitators employ in Chattogram City. To accelerate the research, an open-ended interview has been conducted at several institutions in the city. The ADDIE Model has been adopted as a framework to support the analysis and background of the study. As per the research findings, the study reflects on the need for government training programs, local funds, and infrastructure to motivate learners’ strategies and engagement in the classroom.
