 Key Points

For example, learners with dysgraphia may:

• have difficulty in writing correct spellings
• show poor spatial planning on paper (misuse of lines and margins)
• mix uppercase and lowercase letters
• have trouble forming letters (inconsistent form and size)
• have trouble writing on lines

Hence, we can dysgraphia is a type of learning disability associated with problems in writing.

Additional Information

• Dyslexia is characterized by trouble reading. It may also be referred to as a reading disability.
• Dyscalculia is a mathematical disability. In this disability, the learner has difficulty learning or comprehending mathematics. 
• Dyspraxia is a motor coordination difficulty or motor learning difficulty. It may affect motor skills like hand movements needed to write clearly, mouth and tongue movements needed to pronounce words correctly, etc.

Teaching a diverse group of learners can be a challenging task for any teacher, as every student comes with a unique set of needs, interests, and abilities. However, it is also an opportunity to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment that respects and values diversity.

Key PointsTo effectively teach a diverse group of learners, a teacher must keep several factors in mind.

• Acknowledge and respect every student:- It is important for a teacher to recognize and respect the diversity of their students, including their cultural backgrounds, learning styles, abilities, and interests. This means creating a safe and supportive learning environment where every student feels valued and included.
• Not ignoring cultural differences: A teacher should not ignore cultural differences as it can create a sense of exclusion and disengagement for students from diverse backgrounds. Rather, teachers should embrace cultural diversity and incorporate it into their teaching practices.
• Maintaining consistent communication: Communication is key to building relationships with students, and it is important for a teacher to maintain consistent communication with their students. This includes providing feedback, answering questions, and keeping students informed about their progress.
• Not giving indirect instructions: Indirect instructions can be confusing for students, especially those who are not native speakers of the language. Teachers should provide clear, concise, and direct instructions that are easy to understand.
• Giving students autonomy and flexibility: It is important for teachers to give students autonomy and flexibility in their learning. This includes providing opportunities for student choice, allowing students to work at their own pace, and providing accommodations and modifications to meet the needs of individual learners.

Thus, it is concluded that (i) (iii) (v) is the correct answer.

Creative children refer to the children who show high-performance capability in several areas such as artistic and creative work, leadership quality, keen power of observation, etc. These children have divergent thinking and are very curious in nature and they grab things fastly than of their age-peers.

• There are different kinds of 'Creativity Development Techniques' that fosters creativity in learners. Some of these techniques include Synectics, mind mapping, brainstorming/ Attribute, insights game, morphological analysis, checklist of questions, and some special programs.
• The word ’synectics' has been adapted from the Greek word 'Synecticos' meaning fitting together diverse elements. This technique was founded by a brilliant thinker named William J.J. Gordon.
• It is a very remarkable technique of group problem-solving and to a non-initiative. It looks like a mad method for finding solutions. 

Important Points

• 'Synectics' is the method used for catering 'Creative children' as:
  • Synectics is a very remarkable technique of group problem-solving which thrives on the diversity of its members.
  • Synectics model of teaching helps learners to see old problems, ideas, or products in a new, more creative light.
  • Synectics is a  powerful technique for training people to become more flexible and original and to tolerate ambiguity and irrelevance.
  • Synectics tends to make the mind supple, capable of rapid and breathtaking shifts of focus, a capability that may considerably increase originality.

Hence, it could be concluded that 'Synectics' is the method used for catering 'Creative children'.

Additional Information

Braille is a system of raised dots that people can feel with their fingers and that represent letters or words for people who are blind or have low vision.

• Braille is a universally accepted system for teaching individuals with visual impairment.

Key Points

• In Braille learning, first, the letters are learned as symbols. this can be called a letter method of teaching.
• Then words are learned by combining the letters in dots form, this is called the word method.
• Words are taught through touch or tactile way, as touch, auditory and spacing ways of learning are to be used simultaneously to teach Braille, the approach to teaching is called Multi method of teaching.
• Different from these methods is the classic lecture method, which is used as a method of teaching students with normal vision in classroom settings. Here visual aids are used and also supportive materials are not used. Only listening and seeing are involved.
• This type of lecture method cannot be applied to Braille, where the support of the braille material is taken for teaching.

Hence, it can be concluded that the Lecture method is not the method of teaching Braille to individuals with Visual impairment.

According to the International Standard Classification of Education, the term Special Education Needs(SEN) means educational intervention and support designed to address SEN.

Key Points

In India, a learner with SEN is defined variously in different documents. For example, a child with SEN in a District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) document is defined as a child with a disability, namely, visual, hearing, locomotor, and intellectual.

In Indian context, learners with special educational needs (SEN) account:-

• Students from poor economic backgrounds:- They cannot afford the quality of education as compared to the middle and upper class. Also, not only do they face financial problems the problem of social upliftment also prevails in such families which hinders the education of such children. To ensure that a person's earnings do not affect the education of his\her children there is a special education need for this category.
• Students from the lower castes:- Caste system has prevailed in Indian society for many ages. The problem arises when discrimination is done on the basis of caste which creates obstacles in the development of lower-class families. It also affects the quality of education available to these classes. Hence, there is a need for SEN.
• Differently-abled children:- They are not physically\mentally at the same level as regular children of the same age group. They require SEN to cope up and make a place for themselves in society.

Thus, it is concluded that In Indian context, learners with special educational Needs (SEN) do not account students from drop outs.

Hint

•  Drop-out students do not account under SEN as they are not underperforming due to factors beyond their control. They are lagging behind either by choice or due to some other personal reasons which are subjective.

A multidimensional view of intelligence is the perspective that intelligence is not a single, unitary trait, but rather a collection of different abilities.

Key Points

• The view that intelligence is multidimensional and can change over time is the most supportive of diversity because it acknowledges that there are many different ways to be intelligent and that intelligence is not fixed.
• This view allows for the possibility that all learners can develop their intelligence, regardless of their background or circumstances.
• It also acknowledges that intelligence is not fixed, but can change over time.

Hence, we can conclude that "Intelligence is multidimensional and can change over time" supports the respectful consideration of diversity among learners.

Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are the two most disadvantaged sections of the Indian society needing special attention. Together they form about a quarter of the total population of the country (the scheduled castes about 16 percent and scheduled tribes about 8 percent).

• First-generation school goers refer to the children who are the first in their family to go to school or whose parents have completed formal education till the primary level. They blindly rely on schools and tuition.

Key Points

• Children belonging to scheduled caste and scheduled tribes, first-generation school goers, girls, and children with disabilities are in a disadvantaged position in terms of access to education.
• Educating these children has always been a challenging task and to this day, even after various constitutional provisions and government initiatives to provide access to education to these children.
• The main challenges which are faced by the educational institutions to ensure streamlined learning for these children include poor economical conditions, the reluctance of parents towards education, communication gap, lack of resources, minimal infrastructural facilities, language-related challenges, etc.
• These disadvantaged groups need to be addressed to solve issues of equity. While addressing issues of parity for SC/ST/Minority/Girls, the plan will have to look at strategies for access, retention, and quality under each of the groups targeted.
• We as teachers, have to make conscious efforts to adapt our teaching styles to match the learning styles and culture of children. In the case of scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, acquire additional importance as several of them may be first-generation learners and may not have educated parents or resources to cope with the curricular load.

Hence, it is concluded that children belonging to scheduled caste and scheduled tribes, first-generation school goers, girls, and children with disabilities are in a disadvantaged position in terms of access to education.

Learning Disability is an umbrella term which encompasses a variety of specific kinds of learning problems. Children with learning disability experience difficulty in learning and using certain skills namely reading, writing, listening, reasoning and arithmetic.

Key Points

• Dyslexia: Reading disability including difficulty with accurate word recognition, word decoding and reading comprehension and oral reading skills. For example: A child suffering from dyslexia cannot distinguish between ‘saw’ and ‘was’, ‘nuclear’ and ‘unclear’.

​Hence, we can conclude that A child cannot distinguish between ‘saw’ and ‘was’, ‘nuclear’ and ‘unclear’. S/He is suffering from Dyslexia.

Additional Information

​Some important disorders are given below:

• Dysgraphia: Writing disability, inability to write properly, illegible hand writing.
• Dysphasia: Speech and language disorders
• Dyscalculia: Mathematics disability, difficulty in learning mathematical concepts and organizing numbers in addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.
• Dyspraxia: Difficulty with motor skills, non verbal learning disability, motor clumsiness and poor visual spatial skills.
• Dysnomia: There may be other difficulties that co-occur with learning disabilities like difficulty with memory, social skills and executive functions like organization skills and time management

Special education is an instruction that is specially designed to meet the unique needs of disabled children. This type of education is individually developed to address a specific child's needs that result from his or her disability.

Key Points

• Special education tends the children to fresh their intellectual abilities and facilitates the various streams of knowledge, which they feel is difficult in a normal classroom. 
• Special schools with specially trained teachers are opened to bridge the learning gaps of specific disabled children who also have special learning needs. 
• In each of the districts where a special school is set up, a vocational training centre either as a part of the school or as an adjustment to it will also be developed. 
• The classroom in special education is generally smaller in size (8-10 minimum or up to 15 maximum) as the teacher has to personally attend to and guide each of the students. The size of the classroom varies and depends on the type of specifically disabled children.

Hence, it could be concluded that 'each class should consist of at least 20 learners' is not a feature of special education.

Rejected children display high levels of verbally and physically aggressive behavior towards their peers, are disruptive, and are frequently off task in the classroom. Also, they are extremely unwilling to share and prefer solitary activity. These characteristics increase the likelihood of children being peer rejected throughout their lives.

Key Points 

•  The unwillingness of Radha to share and prefer solitary activity indicates that she is a rejected child. Rejected children are those who feel a sense of being left out and hatred by their peer group.
• This rejection adversely affects a child's overall development and could lead to low self-esteem, shyness, self-doubt, and depression for a lifetime.
• In Solitary activity, particular tasks are performed by learners alone but the low self-esteem and self-doubt of rejected children make them unwilling to be a part of it.
• In regular classrooms, those who are rejected by their peers, are identified through sociometric assessment and observed and rated on several behavioral dimensions.
• Rejected students are perceived by peers as being more aggressive, disruptive, irritable, domineering dishonest, and selfish than accepted and/or neglected students. 
• In Solitary activity, particular tasks are performed by learners alone but the low self-esteem and self-doubt of rejected children make them unwilling to be a part of it.
• Rejected students are the loneliest group and this group differed significantly from other status groups.

Thus, we can conclude that Radha is a rejected child.

Additional Information

• Popular children: They typically enjoy interaction and sharing with others.
• Jealous children: Jealousy in children refers to the emotion of envy or resentment that arises when a child perceives a rival or a peer receiving more attention, praise, or resources than they are.
• Happy children: Happy children are those who experience a positive and content emotional state.
