Pedagogy - Inclusion

This thesis is intended to identify the pedagogical approaches of teachers being used in the inclusive education setting.

In this study, the researcher examined the lived experiences of the eight (8) teachers in Mariano C. San Juan Elementary School located in Cardona Rizal regarding pedagogical approaches they use in an inclusive education setting. Thematic analysis was used to transcribe the data gathered with the help and guidance of a validator. Themes derived in this study were, A challenging Behavior, Teachers Emotion, Teachers Perception, Accommodating the Learners' Needs, The Big Progress, Placement, The Learners' Psychosocial and Socio-Emotional Domain Improvements, Seminars and Training for Improvements, Broader knowledge and Understanding of Special Education, and The Important Process of Inclusion Program.

Inclusive education is one of the most current trends in the special education program. It also amplified the call for inclusive education since the president of the Philippines signed the law about implementing inclusive education last March 11, 2022. However, before the trends and passing of the law about inclusive education, the Department of Education is already practicing the inclusive education program in the Philippines by including the learners with special needs who can cope with other typically developing pupils when it comes to domains such as cognitive and psychosocial behavior.
