COLLABORATIVE LEARNING: AN AID TO INCLUSIVE EDUCATION CLASSROOM

Abstract

Inclusive Education is one of the major challenges that our education system is facing. Many government and non-government policies are being made to curb these challenges. All the learners, with or without disabilities, have different pace of learning. They can only be benefitted when there is proper planning, adequate time management and teacher-student’s partnership. This can help to focus more attention on inclusive classroom to find more effective ways on their teaching and learning. These new researched strategies in education pave an easy solution to the students with disabilities to receive the quality of education they deserve. One of the techniques that emerged out to be fruitful is collaborative learning. Collaborative learning is an effective teaching strategy for the students in the inclusive classrooms in terms of their social and academic development. It is only through collaborative efforts that students with disabilities together with non -disable students learn academic skills along with social skills of acceptance and tolerance of each other.
