Description
Summary:Inclusive education carries in itself a positive message of humanistic pedagogy, equal opportunities and personality self­actualization for both chal­lenged and unchallenged learners. Yet, the implementation of its basic tenets is currently running the gauntlet of critical reevaluation in Russia’s teaching com­munity. The study reveals controversial relationship between traditional societal values of mercy and compassion on the one hand, and the “ideals vs. reality” ambivalence on the other. The collision of humanistic values and competence resources as well as organizational issues interferes with the full acceptance of inclusive education. The research draws on questionnaire studies in Russia’s edu­cational environment.
