Inclusive Education Organization Skills of Preschool Teachers: An Exploratory Study in The Northern Mountainous Regions of Vietnam

Abstract

Currently, the proportion of children with disabilities participating in preschool educational activities is increasing in Vietnam. This poses significant challenges for teachers in inclusive preschools, as they often lack the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively teach classes that include both children with disabilities and those without. Although teachers in inclusive classes at schools with children with disabilities receive some training to enhance their abilities before the new school year, the training duration is brief, and their understanding of children with disabilities and specific educational methods for this group remains limited. This research explores the skills of preschool teachers in organizing inclusive education in the Northern mountainous region of Vietnam, aiming to identify measures to help them improve the effectiveness of educational activities for all children in inclusive classes.
