Institutional Separation in Schools of Education: Understanding the Functions of Space in General and Special Education Teacher Preparation
Young, Kathryn S.
Teaching and Teacher Education: An International Journal of Research and Studies, v27 n2 p483-493 Feb 2011
The purpose of this spatial study is to understand the function space play in a combined credential program in the US in helping or hindering the program's inclusive mission. The study examines how physical and social manifestations of general and special education are (re)organized in the new program. The data provides evidence for the pervasive separation between general and special education within the new program. This study points to the importance of examining space in relation to teacher education reform as a way to highlight where policy, institutional, programmatic, physical, and pedagogic changes are needed to support inclusive teacher preparation. (Contains 1 figure and 2 tables.)
