'I Never Thought They Would Enjoy the Fun of Science Just Like Ordinary Children Do'--Exploring Science Experiences with Early Years Teacher Training Students and Children with Severe and Profound Learning Difficulties.
Bishop, Alison; Jones, Phyllis
British Journal of Special Education, v30 n1 p34-43 Mar 2003
This paper evaluates a British program in which 20 undergraduate students training to be primary science teachers planned and delivered a science workshop to students with severe and profound learning difficulties. Analysis focuses on comments of the college students both before and after the workshop experience. The experience encouraged student reflection and increased commitment to inclusive practice in science. (Contains references.) (DB)
